As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics and someone who has spent countless hours dissecting the intricacies of relationships in the public eye, it appears that Eamonn Holmes is navigating a new chapter in his life. His recent romances, particularly with Katie Alexander, are causing quite a stir among fans and media alike.


As a devoted follower, I often admire Ruth Langsford for her resilient, optimistic spirit, visible both on and off the television screen. Yet, unbeknownst to viewers during the heart-wrenching months following my sister’s suicide in 2019, I was pouring out tears every dawn before stepping onto the set of ITV’s Loose Women.

Since the announcement of her divorce with Eamonn Holmes in May, it’s been a recurring theme as she navigates through the protracted fallout and harsh aftermath.

Ruth remains silent in public, steadfastly choosing the path of restraint, yet it’s rumored that behind closed doors, she’s deeply saddened and affected by recent events.

In light of their 28-year partnership, 14-year marriage, and raising their 22-year-old son, Jack, it’s no surprise that Ruth might feel upset, as her husband has started seeing a woman who is young enough to be Ruth herself.

The well-known television host, aged 64, is currently sailing in the Mediterranean alongside his recent companion, Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old ‘therapist specializing in relationships’ from Yorkshire. They initially connected on social media platforms, both being married to different individuals at that time.

Eamonn and Katie, captured together embarking on a cruise from Barcelona over the weekend, present an unexpected pair. After undergoing double hip replacement surgery, spinal operation, and a devastating fall down their former home’s stairs in Surrey during 2022, Eamonn now faces significant mobility challenges; he requires assistance to walk independently.

Katie, previously divorced and now single, made a stylish entrance in semi-transparent Zara heels as she guided Holmes’ wheelchair onto the ship. She is a mother to two adolescent children and one adult child aged 22.

So who is Eamonn’s new love?

Katie Alexander leads a captivating personal life, with ties to two elderly gentlemen. Originally known as Katie Robshaw, she was just 19 and working in a store when she encountered coach driver Michael Devine, who was four decades her senior. Their relationship endured for five years, producing a son named Ben, now 22.

Currently at the age of 81, Mr. Devine mentioned that they have been apart for quite some time, but he frequently catches up with his son about once a week.

Occasionally, I run into Katie, but currently, she’s residing in London. Let me assure you, there’s no animosity between us; Katie is genuinely kind. In fact, I hold her in high regard. Wishing her nothing but the best, she truly is remarkable.

Following my parting ways with Devine, I took over Barca café in Dewsbury, but unfortunately, it closed its doors in 2013. At that time, I had already tied the knot with George Alexander, the bar owner, and we were blessed with a daughter in 2010 and a son in 2011. We experienced our share of ups and downs, ultimately parting ways in 2022. George always felt incredibly fortunate to have me as his wife.

George Alexander also experienced misfortune in his business ventures. His cocktail bar company, 9 5 8, was discontinued in 2022, and Artisan Bar Northern was liquidated in February the previous year. A cleaning company ceased operations due to a compulsory strike off last year, as did a fourth company, Izzyroc Ltd.

George, aged 53, expresses deep understanding for Ruth’s situation, stating, “I can really empathize with Ruth because my marriage to Katie ended, and it took me quite some time to heal from the pain. I imagine how difficult she must be feeling right now, as she is experiencing what I went through after our marriage ended. I believe that Katie has compassion, so she’ll feel remorseful for Ruth.

George affirmed that Eamonn and Katie connected through social platforms. He mentioned, ‘She didn’t act starstruck as if he were George Clooney, but she enjoyed using social media, and at some point, she told me she received a message from him.’

‘She’d commented on one of his posts and Eamonn got in touch. I must admit I laughed it off.’

‘I found out about their connection later on. Katie used to visit him quite often, and this seemed to happen regularly.’

Back in May, when Ruth and Eamonn split up, things appeared quite different in public. It was widely speculated that Ruth was the one seeking an end to their marriage, while Eamonn was taken aback or caught off guard by the decision.

Others claimed that despite being the same age (64), Ruth was noticeably healthier than Eamonn, leading some to suggest she had no desire to care for her ill spouse.

At the TRIC (Television and Radio Industries Club) awards held in June, Eamonn expressed a plea for understanding, stating that his health condition left him feeling like he was living on an extended lease.

In a joking manner, he told the crowd that he’d previously experienced a stab-like incident (referring to his surgery), implying that if one more “stab” came from Ruth, his estranged wife, it wouldn’t faze him much.

Could his statement imply that Eamonn Holmes seems to be more sympathetic towards himself than anyone else regarding the situation of Eamonn Holmes? (Based on a former colleague’s perspective)

Reflecting on his recent circumstances, I found myself pondering the notion that my partner, Ruth, may have chosen to distance herself during a critical period in my life. This realization propelled me to seek solace in a flat nestled near Kingston, while she continued to reside in our shared home, accompanied by our beloved pet, Maggie.

Ruth received considerable criticism for ‘abandoning Eamonn’ but has said nothing.

(She still has no intention of speaking.)

However, as Eamonn enjoys the sunny Mediterranean with his new companion, supporters are coming to her defense among their circle of friends.

It’s said that they, specifically she and Eamonn, walked a mutual road toward separation, with both parties in unison acknowledging that their marriage had reached its end. This process occurred peacefully within their home over several weeks in May.

It appears that Eamonn’s physical wellbeing was not considered during the decision-making process. However, it is said that Ruth was an exceptionally devoted partner, standing by his side in both health and sickness. After the fall, she was reportedly involved in every aspect of his care and assistance. In essence, she was wholly committed to helping and caring for Eamonn.

The reason for the separation appears to be that Ruth, often characterized as ‘very dignified’ and ‘classy’, uncovered her husband’s interactions with Ms. Alexander. Certain accounts hint at discovering messages on his laptop as the evidence.

For her, remaining in the marriage became unbearable, and it’s significant to note that their separation announcement felt rather cold and distant.

In my perspective as a devoted admirer, I wouldn’t be seeking the ‘pot of gold’ like Zoe Ball with DJ Fatboy Slim, nor any fashionable Gwyneth-esque ‘conscious separation’, nor any heartfelt, nostalgic reminiscing about the past. Instead, their marriage was formally concluded in a detached manner. Their announcement was straightforward: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed that their marriage has ended and they are currently going through the process of divorce.

Nine years ago, Eamonn’s friendship with Katie started before his separation from Ruth. It all began in 2015 through a conversation on Twitter (previously known as X), when Katie commented on one of Eamonn’s posts, to which he responded.

It’s unclear exactly when this interaction transformed into a friendship, but evidence indicates that during the time leading up to their separation, Eamonn was generously giving Katie presents such as taking her and her kids on a safari trip and providing them with tickets to a Beyonce concert.

Eight months prior to their separation in October, Eamonn went to Yorkshire to oversee a charitable event related to Katie’s profession, which was quite challenging considering his ill health at the time.

According to George, Ms. Alexander frequently met with Eamonn after his marriage to Katie ended in 2022. Some sources also claim that she often stayed at a hotel in Surrey, which was just a short distance from the Holmes-Langsford home in Weybridge before they publicly announced their separation. This is prior to their split announcement.

Friends of Ruth’s report that she has endured immense suffering due to the public focus on her ex-husband and his new partner. Each instance where they appear together or are mentioned causes her distress. Despite her heartache, Ruth continues to wear her wedding ring.

Looking back, it’s noticeable that Eamonn frequently made lighthearted jibes at his wife on-air in the later stages of their union.

In the discussion about unreasonable actions by loved ones, Eamonn pointed out that Ruth often forgets her purse and ends up making him pay for everything. Ruth retorted, “That’s no joke, and you know I don’t do that.” The interaction included some banter that wasn’t found humorous by everyone and featured a bit of arguing, creating an awkward atmosphere on the show.

Four years ago, there was quite a stir online about whether a certain vegetable should be labeled as a swede or a turnip. I found myself in the midst of this debate, and it brought me great joy to see #RuthisWrong trending on Twitter, commenting: ‘I’m thrilled to have sparked the #RuthisWrong trend on Twitter regarding Turnips vs Swedes… It seems that this hashtag could easily apply to many of her other insightful opinions as well!’

Her friends found it uncomfortable, even perplexed, as they observed Eamonn’s behavior that seemed overly critical of his wife. However, Ruth defended it as playful banter.

But there does seem to have been some genuine resentment when, in a phone-in during lockdown, Ruth mused about presenting the show from home with Eamonn and calling it Home with Holmes. Eamonn snapped: ‘Now you’re trying to hijack my name. Funny you didn’t take it at the wedding did you? Suddenly Langsford doesn’t really tie in there. You made the choice, your choice, too late now.’

Then came the scandal which led to Phillip Schofield stepping down from This Morning following an ‘unwise but not illegal’ sexual relationship with a much younger male member of staff. Eamonn gave a number of explosive interviews denouncing Schofield and also took a few swipes at Schofield’s co-presenter, Holly Willoughby. Friends say that Eamonn’s role in the Phillip Schofield scandal – giving interviews denouncing ‘Scofe’, his former colleague on This Morning, put Ruth in a difficult position.

Following Holly’s heartfelt ‘Are you alright?’ question on ITV’s This Morning, after Schofield stepped down, I couldn’t help but reflect on her eloquence. As I pondered, I thought to myself, “You might think she’s outspoken, but today, her words will be silent.

Eamonn asserted that the central figure in the scandal often spent Thursdays at Schofield’s place during leisure time, and would return to work on Fridays by taxi funded by ITV. However, Schofield denies this, stating that their interactions were limited to about five occasions, and he visited his flat just once. Moreover, Schofield claims he doesn’t have an account for the ITV taxis.

At the given time and up until now, Ruth serves as a host for ITV’s Loose Women. By that stage, Holmes had already departed from ITV’s This Morning, where he co-hosted with Ruth every Friday. It remains unclear whether she consented to his public disregard towards ITV in such a prominent manner.

Over the past month, Katie Alexander has accompanied Eamonn on a visit to Belfast, and they dined together four consecutive days at Papa Browns in Carrickfergus – a cost-effective eatery. Now, they’re enjoying a late summer vacation across Europe. It seems their relationship is becoming more serious, as Eamonn, a Roman Catholic, may be apprehensive about approaching his second divorce. Maybe Katie, who offers counseling services at £45 per hour, can provide assistance in this area.
