With her signature blue tank top and a small black handbag slung over her shoulder, Ruth looked in good spirits as she arrived at the restaurant.
She looked cool and casual as she smiled at onlookers before heading inside.
Notably, Ruth was still wearing her wedding ring despite divorcing husband Eamonn in May.
Ruth previously addressed the decision, telling an Instagram fan who questioned her about it in September that she wouldn’t take it off because she’s “still married.”
The couple were together for 23 years and married for 14 before they made the shocking announcement that they had gone their separate ways.
Although things initially appeared to remain amicable between them, Eamonn, 64, appears to have put a damper on their cordial break-up when he showed new love with 42-year-old girlfriend Katie Alexander.
Now Ruth embraces a whole new look and gives life as she leaves the relationship.
Fighting back
Eamonn has already been spotted on holiday with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, with pals reportedly claiming she’s “the one” for him.
Ruth has now arranged with a “fierce” divorce lawyer, Catherine Costley, to be able to reach a financial settlement and officially end their marriage.
Costley is a protégé of Baroness Fiona Shackleton, whom Paul McCartney included in his breakup.

The great legal eagle worked under the guidance of the country’s top divorce barrister, Baroness Fiona Shackleton of “Steel Magnolia”, who represented Charles in his divorce from Diana, and Sir Paul McCartney.
Last week it was revealed that Ruth had even removed the stairlift in the £3.5million Surrey home she once shared with Eamonn, so he wouldn’t be able to pick up any of his belongings from the first floor.
Eamonn, who now mostly relies on a wheelchair to get around after years of health problems, relied on the stairs to get around the house.
Insiders suggest this is Ruth’s special kind of revenge, after Eamonn wasted no time flaunting his new relationship.
Timeline of Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship
Before the shock announcement of their split, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on British TV – even with their signature style of bickering.
Here’s how their romance went…
1997 – The couple meet for the first time after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To show respect for Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told the Daily Mail: “I thought it said a lot about the kind of man he was, the kind of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son Jack to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalizes his divorce from Gabrielle.

2016 – Eamonn undergoes double hip replacement in first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn reveal the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and a lot of marriage”, while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced in their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth have left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn makes his debut on GB News, while Ruth remains on ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back problems, including a pinched sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring further surgery.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretch procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce their separation after 14 years of marriage and 27 years of relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn is spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
Eamonn was supposed to return to the Weybridge estate to collect the last of his belongings, but discovered there was no lift when he went there, the Daily Mail reports.
A source told the publication: “Ruth has remained quiet and elegant.
“Even when people mention what Eamonn was up to, she stays silent and just smiles. He thinks it’s the best way.
“But one thing she would see every day was the staircase Eamonn put up. Ruth doesn’t need it.
“She’s in great shape and healthy, but she knew Eamonn would probably struggle when he had to go home to get something he needed for his holiday.”
