Eamonn and Ruth arrived together and smiled on the red carpet at the event in London but were seen leaving separately.
They formed a united front inside the venue, with Ruth standing close to Eamonn and resting her hand on his chest.
They are parents to son Jack, 22, while Eamonn also has sons Declan, 35, Niall, 31, and daughter Rebecca, 33, from his previous marriage.
While Ruth and Eamonn have remained silent following the split announcement, sources close to the couple say that “Ruth’s representatives are preparing a statement” that will share the sad news with her followers.
The beloved TV couple, who friends say were “as close to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan as you can get,” have sparked rumors in recent months as neither appeared in the other’s Instagram posts.
The famous couple met through a mutual friend, GMTV star Sally Meen, while Eamonn was also on the show in 1997.
Two years later, he had separated from his first wife, Gabrielle Holmes, the mother of his three oldest children.
And even though Ruth and Eamonn felt an instant connection, he made sure it was the nation’s best-kept secret as he didn’t publicly confess his love for Ruth for two years.
Eamonn and Ruth’s marriage reportedly ended a year ago (the couple is seen on This Morning in 2021)
Eamonn and Ruth married in 2010, after 13 years together, in a lavish ceremony at the grand 19th century Hampshire hotel, The Elvetham.
A friend of the couple said it all ended a year ago, but they were “determined to keep it a secret.”
Eamonn even refused to hold her hand in public or attend events together during the early years of their relationship in a bid to be respectful of his ex of almost 20 years.
But after just a year of leaving their relationship open, they welcomed their son Jack in 2002.
But now, more than 20 years later, as the beloved couple split, a friend told MailOnline: ‘Ruth and her team have been telling their friends to keep an eye out for the comments, which they plan to post on social media.
‘It is a very unfortunate story. Both are so loved by the British public that they won over so many people on This Morning, which they presented for more than a decade.
Eamonn reportedly plans to open up about his split from Ruth during an upcoming television appearance.
He will address his breakup during an appearance on the GB News morning show.
A source said The sun on Sunday: ‘Eamonn is always frank on camera and knows it will be strange for him to discuss the news of the day without mentioning their split, so he’ll say a few words.
“He is putting on a brave face and will be the true professional he has always been.” Focusing on work will be a welcome distraction.”
