The 64-year-old pair caused a sensation in the entertainment world when they announced their split in May, with Eamonn allegedly "blindsided" by the suddenness of the announcement, according to insiders who claim he was unaware that Ruth would make such a public declaration. Ruth raised eyebrows recently with a lift selfie wherein she appeared still wearing her wedding ring, and Eamonn too has kept his band on, leading to speculation from some sources that the father of four is demonstrating defiance.

According to sources speaking to Bella magazine, Eamonn is intent on showing that he isn't at fault for their marriage breaking down, stating: "Eamonn doesn't want to look like he's the one to blame for the end of their marriage, so he doesn't want to be the one to take the ring off first." The insiders told B ella magazine: "He's saying 'I didn't end this marriage, so why should I take my ring off? ' It's a bit of stubbornness from his side."
