It came after the lovebirds shared a cute selection of snaps following a happy day at the park this weekend.
Katie has taken to her account to admit 2024 had been “the year of hell” with “lies about me and death threats from people who have never met me.”
She added: “Not only did my mental health suffer but also my childrens’ did.
“One thing I don’t do it forget.
“But a huge thank you to my friends and family who know me, and the truth, and have supported me through the past year.”
Her stark admission comes as Eamonn, 65, is in the midst of a divorce from ex Ruth Langsford, also 65, and a battle over their £3.6million home.
The divorcing Loose Women star has been granted a severance of joint tenancy of the six-bed pile they bought in 2014.
The move, revealed in public documents, means that if Ruth were to die her share of the house in Weybridge, Surrey, would not go to her former spouse Eamonn, with whom she shares son Jack.
GOING STRONG
Meanwhile, Katie’s relationship with Eamonn appears to be going from strength to strength.

Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.

June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
HEALTH WOE
Katie’s admission came after a tough week for her man.
Eamonn sparked fears among his followers after he posted a heartbreaking update on his health to social media.
He vowed to “redouble my efforts” to walk again after being confined to a wheelchair.
In his bittersweet caption alongside a snap showing him looking svelte from 2022 he wrote: Great picture popped up from 3 years but it’s made me sad – I could walk.”
The telly favourite added: “Got to redouble my efforts.”
Eamonn’s wellbeing was also a cause for concern after he opened up on the horror injuries he suffered while falling off a chair during his GB News Breakfast Show slot.
The Belfast-born journalist had a double hip replacement in 2016 yet has been suffering from chronic pain since a follow-up spinal operation in September 2022.
