Truth about Eamonn Holmes’ ‘engagement’ to new younger girlfriend: Friends tell KATIE HIND why it’s ‘weird’ and Ruth is so ‘worried’… and of the intriguing mystery that’s casting a cloud over the relationship

Truth about Eamonn Holmes' 'engagement' to new younger girlfriend: Friends tell KATIE HIND why it's 'weird' and Ruth is so 'worried'... and of the intriguing mystery that's casting a cloud over the relationship

As a seasoned observer of human relationships and a self-proclaimed armchair psychologist, I find myself deeply intrigued by the tale of Eamonn and Katie. Having spent a considerable portion of my own life navigating the complexities of love and companionship, I can’t help but empathize with these two individuals as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.

When pictures taken by paparazzi showed Eamonn Holmes and his new companion on a short vacation in the City of Love, even his close associates started talking about their possible romance.

Eamonn, 65, with a disheartened expression, moved around in an electric wheelchair because of his debilitating back condition. Meanwhile, Katie Alexander, 44 years younger than him, was by his side, adorning a Hermes scarf worth £1,000, a Mango faux leather coat priced at £139.99, and a Louis Vuitton handbag valued at £1,600 as they exited the Louvre museum in Paris just recently.

The confounding aspect for Eamonn’s companions was discovering a stunning ring on therapist Katie’s wedding finger. This was perplexing since Eamonn’s divorce from his ex-wife and co-host Ruth Langsford, who is also his Good Morning presenter partner, has not yet been finalized. Furthermore, it had been stated by Eamonn’s agent that their trip to Paris was merely for the purpose of ‘visiting art and museums’.

It’s been shared that everyone seems to be wondering the same thing: what attracts Katie, a charming and intelligent 43-year-old divorcee, to Eamonn, who, after his recent health struggles, is rumored to be growing more cantankerous? (Eamonn has had to resort to using a walker and mobility chair since a fall in 2022, and he underwent a double hip surgery in 2015.)

Katie is reportedly spending considerable amounts of time at Eamonn’s recently acquired bachelorette apartment, which is a penthouse located in a humble building of apartments within the one-way system of Kingston, situated in south-west London.

However, it appears that my friends find it too courteous to inquire directly about the specifics of Holmes’ relationship with them.

One observed, “It’s quite unusual,” referring to the fact that Eamonn and Katie seem to spend an inordinate amount of time together, and Eamonn frequently hints at romantic feelings between them.

As a devoted admirer, I’ve always found beauty in women, and my playful nature often reflects that. These days, I find myself spending considerable time with Katie, and contrary to the misleading suggestions of our photos, we do share quite a few laughter-filled moments.

In addition, she’s a psychotherapist, and he enjoys conversation, which gives them a shared connection. However, I don’t foresee them tying the knot in the near future.

According to their friends, Eamonn and Ruth, parents of the 22-year-old Jack, faced challenges in maintaining a friendly relationship during their divorce process. However, it appears that their bond has started to improve more lately.

It’s stated that Ruth has been concerned about Holmes ever since he turned into a bachelor, as she wishes him to take good care of himself while starting a new romantic relationship.

This week at work, Holmes has had a vibrant and eventful time. His co-host on the GB News breakfast show, Isabel Webster – often referred to as his “work spouse” by Eamonn – was let go from the show suddenly on Wednesday.

But despite reports that Eamonn was left ‘reeling’ by the news of Isabel’s shock exit, sources tell me he is ‘relieved’. Perhaps because, I’m told, she is a close friend of Ruth’s.

The two women always got on ‘extraordinarily well’ before she and Holmes split.

According to a reliable source, Isabel and Ruth had a tight bond, which often led to conflicts with Eamonn.

In the midst of their circle of mutual friends, tensions arose, causing a divisive rift that became complicated. Unlike many others, Isabel didn’t take sides, yet the situation grew messy. Eamonn and Isabel would occasionally have minor disagreements, not major fights – just petty squabbles. These arguments, however, added to his stress during a challenging period, and he didn’t often find pleasure in collaborating with her.

‘He is in pain at work so he just needs to get in and get out without any aggravation.’

A source from GB News remarked that Eamonn appears downcast while on the job, often appearing quite disheartened.

Managers anticipate that he will be positive about the newcomer, Ellie Costello, who at 31, is a decade younger than her previous counterpart in the role of Webster.

‘She’s bubbly and fun, something that Eamonn really does need right now,’ added the source.

Eamonn and Katie have been together ever since it was reported that he had separated from his wife of 14 years, Ruth, whom he met in 1996. At first, they chose to keep their romance private to avoid upsetting Gabriella, the mother of his three children, with whom Eamonn was previously married.

Back in 2015, I crossed paths with the remarkable Katie on a platform once known as Twitter. Our connection began when she added her insightful comment to one of my posts, igniting a stimulating conversation that blossomed from there. Then, last October, nine months before I announced my separation from Ruth, our paths crossed again at a charitable event held in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. This event was close to my heart as I was its patron, and Katie had been associated with it through her work.

Lately, Katie parted ways with her husband, George Alexander, who more empathically leaned towards Ruth after she and Eamonn separated.

‘I have had my heart broken when my marriage to Katie ended,’ he added.

It isn’t certain when Eamonn and Katie’s friendship began, but rumors suggest that Ruth found out Eamonn was giving generous gifts to Katie before their breakup. He took her kids on a safari park trip and even gifted them tickets for a Beyoncé concert.

However, it’s common knowledge that Holmes enjoys the company of women. In fact, while he was with Ruth, I was informed that he would subtly flirt with others.

One lady shared with me that Eamonn frequently organized get-togethers and was a strong advocate for her professional pursuits. Another mentioned that Eamonn used to schedule meetings with her, emphasizing that his partner Ruth usually preferred staying at home.

According to a confidant of the celebrity, Eamonn often commented that Ruth preferred not to travel extensively. Eamonn enjoyed having a beautiful companion by his side for outings, but Ruth, who was juggling hosting duties for This Morning, Loose Women, and a profitable role at QVC during their time together, wasn’t always up for constant adventuring with Eamonn. Instead, he would seek company from others when traveling.

But Eamonn’s new relationship seems rather more serious than the others.

I, being a die-hard fan, have ventured to the enchanting city of Belfast – a place that initially held little appeal for Ruth – purely to cross paths with the offspring of Holmes’ first marriage: Declan, aged 35, Rebecca, at 32, and Niall, turning 30.

Their trip to Paris marked just another memorable romantic outing in their series. On December 5th, the pair were spotted exiting a Christmas carol concert in the western part of London. Prior to this, they had attended the Television and Radio Industries Club lunch earlier that day.

During the summer, Eamonn was treated to a lavish European cruise as a complimentary gift, following his agreement to become an ambassador for the travel company known as Not Just Travel, under a lucrative contract.

They flew to Barcelona, embarked a ship, and stayed in an extravagant suite that cost £1,500 per night. Afterward, they traveled to Toulon on the French Riviera, followed by Marina di Carrara in Italy. Later, they navigated their way to Civitavecchia, located north of Rome, and then to Ibiza.

It’s been reported that they were seen by photographers in Ibiza and at the airport upon their return home. It seems that Eamonn dislikes the limelight, finding it puzzling as to how the paparazzi consistently predict his whereabouts.

One source close to him mentioned, ‘He finds himself puzzled as to why this recurring issue persists.’ They suspect it could be someone harboring dislike towards him, which casts a shadow over their connection.

It might be the reason Eamonn doesn’t seem to be smiling in any of the photos taken by the paparazzi. However, it’s worth noting that his friends assert that he truly enjoys life with Katie.

One friend notes, “He may not seem it often, but he’s actually quite content these days.” He’s making an effort to savor his later years, finding joy where he can, even though he experiences bouts of pain occasionally.

‘Although it may not appear so, he’s currently living life without restrictions and obligations, frequently traveling with a companion. Unfortunately, he seems less inclined to express joy over this newfound liberty.’
