He has suffered several health problems in recent years, including crippling back pain and a bout with shingles, and Ruth was at his side looking after him throughout.
And Ruth has been left sad because rumors have circulated that this contributed to their separation, according to Sun.
Eamonn praised Ruth for her “incredible” support after he suffered a fall down the stairs at his home in November 2022.
In 2016, Eamonn underwent a double hip replacement operation that lasted three and a quarter hours after living in severe pain for many years.
Then in 2018, she detailed her battle with shingles and how she contracted the virus on her son Declan’s wedding day.
His years of chronic back pain began in the spring of 2021, something that came out of nowhere.
The pain became so severe that it left Eamonn dependent on a cane, but he soon discovered the root cause.
He finally discovered that there were three herniated discs that affected the movement of his right leg.
In September 2022, Eamonn was forced to step away from his GB news show while he underwent vital back surgery to relieve his chronic back pain.
Then, in November 2022, Eamonn suffered a horrific accident in which he fell down some stairs at his home in Surrey, leading to a broken shoulder weeks after his massive spinal surgery.

Ruth recently said she “lives in hope” that her mobility will improve.

“He plays the physio, but you may have to accept that this will never be 100% correct.” Any caregiving situation (and there are millions of caregivers in this country) is not always easy. “It’s a test, but we did it as a family.”
Ruth added: “I look at Eamonn, who has had health problems and back problems, and it makes you realize how important your health is.”
