Eamonn Holmes ‘Planning to Marry’ New Girlfriend Katie Alexander After Ruth Split
Eamonn Holmes is reportedly planning to marry his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, following his split from Ruth Langsford earlier this year. The GB News presenter, 64, and Katie, 42, have been seen together on multiple occasions, including a recent luxury holiday, and sources claim the pair are already living together and very much in love.
The news follows Eamonn’s split from Loose Women star Ruth, 64, in May, after 14 years of marriage. Both Eamonn and Ruth have remained largely silent about their separation, with reports at the time attributing their split to work commitments driving them in “different directions.”
While Ruth has hinted that their divorce proceedings are proving challenging and reportedly hired a “fierce” divorce lawyer, Eamonn’s relationship with Katie appears to be moving forward. A source told The Sun: “Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. They’re already living together, and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well. She has given him a real lust for life and she looks after him.”
Katie also sparked engagement rumors during a trip to Paris when she was spotted wearing a sparkling ring on her ring finger. An onlooker told The Sun: “Eamonn and his girlfriend looked very loved-up. She was fussing over him, and he had a big smile on his face.”
It was revealed last month that Eamonn and Katie have known each other since 2015 and reportedly exchanged flirty online messages over a decade ago. A source claimed: “No one knew how far back they went. Ruth will be shocked they were in contact 12 years ago. I don’t think she would have known. Eamonn gets a buzz out of replying to messages from fans. He and Katie had a real connection, and it blossomed into something more.”
Meanwhile, Ruth has stayed largely quiet about the breakup. However, it’s been reported that she was taken aback by Eamonn and Katie’s luxury holiday together. Ruth has also spoken out about how difficult it is to deal with personal issues in the public eye. Speaking to Tommy Fury about his own public split, Ruth said: “It’s a tricky time, as I know, going through all these things in public. Everyone’s got something to say, without knowing the truth.”
With engagement speculation growing, all eyes remain on Eamonn and Katie as their relationship continues to evolve.
