Eamonn Holmes, 66, ‘purchases new pad for him to enjoy cosy weekends away with girlfriend Katie Alexander’, 44, amid divorce from Ruth Langsford
Eamonn Holmes’ relationship with girlfriend Katie Alexander is heating up as he plans to buy them a new plush pad in Holywood, Northern Ireland.
The TV presenter, 66, split from his former This Morning co-star Ruth Langsford, 65, in June 2024 after 27 years together, 14 of which were married.
Eamonn quickly met relationship counselor Katie, 44, who is 22 years his junior.
And according to new reports, Eamonn has poured the money into a new property so they can spend cozy weekends together.
‘Eamonn loves going to Northern Ireland to visit his family and has been looking for a new place there for a while now,’ a source said.
‘It will be the perfect place to build a house with Katie, with no memories of anyone else. They can use it to relax on the weekend.

And according to new reports, Eamonn transferred the money to a new property so they can enjoy weekends together.
‘This development is excellent as homes can be built specifically for wheelchair users’, Sun reported.
The Daily Mail has contacted Eamonn’s representatives for comment.
Eamonn and Ruth have largely avoided talking about each other following their split.
Just this week, Ruth teased the exciting release of her tell-all memoir in the midst of her divorce.
The TV presenter is set to share the ‘highs, lows and lessons that shaped her’ in her upcoming book Ruth Langsford Feeling Fabulous.
Ruth has revealed that she plans to talk about her ‘experiences’ in her new memoir, which will be published on February 26.
She wrote on Instagram on Friday: ‘IT’S NOT TOO LONG ANYMORE… I can’t believe 2026 is the year I publish my first book! I’m very excited but also a little nervous…
‘These are stories about my life, the ups and downs, the good and the not-so-good but all the things that made me the woman I am today.
‘I share the experiences that shaped me and the lessons I learned along the way. The release date is February 26, but you can pre-order a copy now (and a limited number of signed copies are also available).

Loose Women star Ruth remains single and recently revealed she has been seeing a therapist since the breakdown of their marriage.
She told woman&home: ‘I started counseling when Eamonn and I broke up and I’m still doing it. It is very powerful and very useful. It gives me tools to deal with things.
‘My advisor has probably seen us on TV, but since he doesn’t know either of us, he won’t get involved or judge. He just listens and says, ‘Have you thought about this?’ he says. or ‘Why did you feel that way?’
‘I think I know myself too well, so it was calming. It makes me question how I feel. When my sister died, my friends suggested counseling and I said, ‘I’m not doing it.’ [want] Only [for someone] I wanted you to tell me I’m really sorry’ and I still feel that way.
‘The end of a very long relationship requires a lot of unraveling. Counseling helps you navigate this so you don’t get left behind.’
Ruth also doesn’t rule out finding love again, sharing: ‘I definitely see a light in the future that I couldn’t see before.
‘I’ve seen darkness before and thought, ‘Oh my God, what’s going to happen?’ I was thinking. but now fear [has] gone because what are you doing? Will you collapse? Would you lie down and die? Oh no, it’s not me. I will Survive.’

Some people close to Ruth say Eamonn grew tired of looking after her after hip surgery but it was later revealed Ruth was having an affair with Katie, whom he met a few years ago.
There are no allegations that Eamonn cheated on Ruth, who hosted ITV’s This Morning for a decade before it was axed in 2021.
They are not officially divorced yet and are currently at war over their money; apparently Ruth is upset that they will have to sell the marital home.
Meanwhile, Eamonn says he was ‘ruined’ by HMRC after getting into a fight with HMRC over whether he was a freelance freelancer or a ‘disguised employee’ of ITV while presenting This Morning between 2011 and 2015.
