Eamonn Holmes’ Girlfriend Katie Alexander’s Shocking Split from Husband
Eamonn Holmes appears to have found new happiness with relationship therapist Katie Alexander, following his high-profile split from Ruth Langsford earlier this year. But their relationship comes after both Eamonn and Katie faced heartbreak from past marriages—Eamonn from his 14-year marriage with Ruth, and Katie from her marriage to George Alexander.
Katie’s former husband, George, recently opened up about their marriage, which lasted from 2010 until their divorce in 2022. Although he clarified that Eamonn had no direct involvement in their breakup, George acknowledged that Katie and Eamonn had been in touch during their marriage. Speaking to The Sun, George expressed empathy for Ruth: “I have a lot of sympathy for Ruth. I had my heart broken when my marriage to Katie ended… I know how distraught Ruth must be feeling.” Despite the timing of Eamonn and Katie’s relationship, George remains understanding, saying, “Katie has a heart, so she will feel bad about Ruth.”
George revealed that Katie and Eamonn first connected over social media while they were still married. “She wasn’t swooning over him like he was George Clooney, but she liked being on social media, and one day she said she’d had a reply from him,” George recalled, admitting he initially laughed it off. Though Katie’s connection with Eamonn wasn’t the cause of their split, George noticed they grew closer following his and Katie’s 2022 divorce, with the pair seen together at a Beyoncé concert and a safari park earlier this year.
George spoke warmly of his ex-wife, recalling their first encounter in 2004 at a coffee shop, describing her as “absolutely stunning” and admiring her vibrant personality. He even recalled how he would often send her flowers, feeling lucky to have met her. George proposed over a bottle of champagne, and they spent many happy years together despite their 11-year age difference.
Although he has moved on, George wishes Eamonn and Katie the best, stating, “I have no beef with him. If she had left me for him, then it might be different. I just hope he treats Katie right. She’s a nice person.”
Meanwhile, Loose Women star Ruth Langsford reportedly told friends that there is “no way back” after her 14-year marriage with Eamonn. Both she and Eamonn have publicly handled the end of their marriage with grace, as they continue to co-parent their son Jack while navigating their own separate paths forward.
