Eamonn Holmes reportedly plans to take Katie Alexander on a holiday, which is said to have left Ruth Langsford ‘gobsmacked’.
The GB News presenter is heading on a luxury Mediterranean trip with the woman in his life, it is claimed.
He is recently separated from Ruth, 64, with the Loose Women star confirming their separation with a statement in May – the pair were married for 14 years, and they share son Jack, 22.
Now, it is alleged Eamonn, 64, is moving on, and their latest step has left Ruth and her friends surprised, say sources.
‘The cruise is just the latest proof of their closeness,’ they added to The Sun.
‘Katie has been telling pals she and Eamonn are going to be for keeps — and now everyone is starting to believe her.
‘Eamonn’s zest for her — the latest being this all-expenses-paid trip — has wowed Ruth and pals. He has found a new lease of life for sure. Everyone is amazed.’
This comes after he reportedly whisked his rumoured girlfriend, 42, on a week-long holiday to Belfast.
It’s claimed the broadcaster grew close to relationship counsellor Katie, who he reportedly first met on social media in 2015, after his split from Ruth.
Eamonn and Katie are now said to be deciding when to make their relationship public after it blossomed to the ‘next level’, according to the MailOnline. It’s been said they’ve been offered ‘big money’ for their first official picture.
A source previously told the publication: ‘Katie and Eamonn are definitely in it for the long haul. She says she loves him and he loves her.’
Last month, it was claimed Eamonn sent Ruth a reassuring message to protect her feelings after false rumours he was engaged to Katie which were sparked when she was seen wearing a ring.
A source told MailOnline: ‘There are other people in this and I know Eamonn had to message Ruth to say there was nothing in the engagement speculation.’
Ruth is still wearing her wedding ring and recently explained the simple reasoning when asked by a follower. ‘Because I’m still married,’ came the cutting reply.
Eamonn is reportedly living in a London flat, while Ruth is still residing in their once-shared home in Surrey.
As well as navigating a divorce, Eamonn, who has three children – Declan, Rebecca and Niall – from his first marriage to Gabrielle, has been dealing with health problems after suffering chronic back pain ever since he slipped three discs in 2021.
