Eamonn Holmes uses his girlfriend, 22 years his junior, to deliberately provoke Ruth Langsford — just after Ruth instructed lawyers to sever joint ownership of their £3.6 million home

Eamonn Holmes appears to have fully embraced a new chapter in his life as he was spotted looking smitten with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander, just days after his estranged wife Ruth Langsford reportedly “called in the lawyers” to protect their £3.6 million family home.

The 65-year-old GB News presenter and 43-year-old marriage counsellor first started dating in mid-2024 but only made their relationship Instagram official recently. Now, they’re openly showing their affection, with Katie sharing sweet selfies of the couple enjoying a quiet day out in the woods — Holmes seated in his wheelchair, smiling as Katie lovingly kissed his cheek.

Their romantic outing comes at a turbulent time, as Ruth has reportedly taken legal action to sever the joint tenancy on their marital home in Surrey. Legal experts suggest this move ensures that, should anything happen to Ruth, her share of the estate will go to someone of her choosing — not Holmes.

Holmes, who has faced significant health challenges and now often uses a wheelchair, has also been candid about his struggles. He recently shared a throwback photo from three years ago, confessing it made him sad because it reminded him of a time when he could walk.

Meanwhile, his new relationship is progressing slowly. Although the couple is clearly close, sources say Katie won’t be moving in with Eamonn anytime soon due to her children and their concerns over the public attention.

As Holmes navigates life post-marriage — including living alone in a luxury penthouse — many fans are expressing both support and sympathy. And despite his physical setbacks and emotional hurdles, Eamonn appears to be trying to rediscover joy in his new life with Katie by his side.
