Earlier this week, Ruth brought the Loose Women show to a sudden halt when she mentioned her divorce from Eamonn.

Ruth made a rare comment about the situation, considering how “selfish” some parents can be when it comes to forcing their children to choose sides after a divorce.

During a conversation on Loose Women, she suggested that the divorce hasn’t gone “well” so far.

Ruth appeared on the daytime show with co-hosts Coleen Nolan, Kelly Holmes and Mariella Frostrup to discuss letting children choose between their parents and potential partners.

Mariela started saying this. “I think that’s crazy.” The truth is, no matter where you stand in your child’s life, if you anchor yourself too deeply, your child will do the opposite anyway. You’ll probably end up doing it. ”

She continued: “Is it worth the risk of adding someone into your family life that your child won’t talk to anymore? I just can’t imagine that.”

Colleen also shared her opinion, explaining: “I think it’s important for parents to let their kids find out for themselves. It might work out, and they might end up spending the rest of their lives together, but in the end they’ll end up with a broken heart and When you intervene as a parent.

The topic soon turned to how divorced parents would deal with such a situation, and Ruth went on to admit: “When I hear people say that they would do well if their parents got divorced, I think that’s very selfish. I won’t come to your wedding, even if he comes or if she comes.” That’s very I know it’s selfish, but it’s their day. ”

Mariela interjected and said, “That’s a completely different topic, isn’t it?”

Ruth replied, “Oh, tell me about that,” bearing in mind that she had recently broken up with Eamonn.

After everyone looked surprised, Ruth added, “Just for fun, it’s time for a break.”
