Eamonn Holmes and Girlfriend Katie Alexander Enjoy Affectionate Moment Amid Legal Drama with Ex-Wife Ruth Langsford

Eamonn Holmes and his new girlfriend looked smitten as they enjoyed a day out together days after a fresh update in the presenter’s divorce saga. 

The GB news broadcaster, 65, and marriage guidance counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, began dating in mid-2024. 

Despite engagement rumours swirling since December of the same year, the couple only went Instagram official last week after months of low-key holidays and dates.

But it seems they’re now more than comfortable making their romance public, with the mother-of-two sharing a series of loved-up snaps of her and Eamonn enjoying a day in the woods. 

With the presenter perched in his wheelchair, the couple posed for a few rare selfies together which Katie shared on Instagram on Friday.

Katie and Eamonn, both sporting sunglasses, looked every bit the happy couple in the snaps as the 43-year-old pecked her boyfriend on the cheek. 

With his partner gazing lovingly at him, Eamonn seemed as happy as ever in another picture as he smiled for thre camera.

The smitten display comes just a matter of days after Eamonn’s estranged wife Ruth Langsford, 65, called in the lawyers to ensure he will not receive a share of their £3.6 million marital home. 

The former This Morning presenters left fans stunned last May when news of their split was first reported. 

With their divorce in the works, Eamonn moved out of their plush six-bedroom home in Weybridge, Surrey, which they had lived in since 2014, last summer.

And The Sun revealed earlier this week that Ruth has been granted a severance of joint tenancy on the property.  

The publication said that public documents state that if Ruth were to pass away, her share of the house would not go to GB News host Eamonn.

Sarah Dwight, of the Law Society, told the outlet: ‘One of the first things divorce lawyers do is to give their clients the option to sever the joint tenancy, so they can leave their share of the house to whoever they want.

‘This move protects Ruth in that if she were to die, she can leave her wealth to whoever she wants, rather than Eamonn getting everything.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Ruth and Eamonn for comment.

After leaving his marital home, Eamonn has since moved into a plush penthouse in Kingston, south-west London, where he lives alone. 

With the presenter reportedly ‘lonely’ at his new abode, it was thought that Katie may move down to join Eamonn from her native Yorkshire.

However a source close to Ms Alexander told The Mail on Sunday: ‘‘There’s no way she will move in with Eamonn in the near future, or for many years.

‘She has her children to consider. Truth be told, they are a little unsettled at her relationship being played out in the media and she doesn’t want to uproot them.

‘They have met Eamonn on several occasions and get on great with him, so things will stay as they are for the time being. 

‘Eamonn seems so lonely since splitting with Ruth, so it’s not exactly ideal for him.’ 

The Irishman’s divorce woes have been compounded with his ongoing health issues.

Eamonn has been left needing a wheelchair or a walking stick to get around after undergoing surgery on his back in 2022. 

He sparked concern only last week when he fell off his chair live on air while presenting GB News. 

Co-host Ellie Costello cried ‘oh my gosh’ after Eamonn’s tumble, before the prideful presenter could be heard saying: ‘I’m fine, fine, fine, carry on, carry on, carry on.’

The show then cut to an extended adverts break, before Eamonn returned to screens telling viewers: ‘They’re very wonky wheels on chairs we’ve got here, as a matter of fact we don’t really like the chairs here. 

‘It was a shock for me because I had a fall two weeks ago in my bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back.’

‘And that hit me again right in the back. Really really sore, really sore.’

Following the two scares, Eamonn shared a heart-breaking update on his health a couple of days ago.

Taking to social media to post on old photo of himself broadcasting, he wrote: ‘Great picture popped up from 3 years but it’s made me sad – I could walk. Got to redouble my efforts.’
