Eamonn Holmes and girlfriend Katie Alexander return dwelling after journey

Eamonn Holmes arrived back in the UK on Sunday with his girlfriend Katie Alexander, after the couple spent the last week on a luxury getaway together.

The GB News presenter, 64, and the relationship counsellor, 42, touched down in Heathrow airport, after jetting off to Barcelona and embarking on a romantic cruise. 

The getaway reportedly left Eamonn’s estranged wife Ruth Langsford, 64, shocked, with the holiday occurring just four months after the former golden couple announced they were divorcing after 14 years of marriage.

But Eamonn and Katie weren’t shy about showing off their new romance, with the pair spotted engaging in PDA during the trip.

On Friday evening, the broadcaster was even seen cheekily grabbing her bottom as they headed on a night out in Ibiza.

In contrast, Eamonn looked slightly worn out from the holiday as the couple arrived at Heathrow, sitting in a self-drive electric wheelchair amid his crippling back problems.

He cut a casual figure in a navy blue jacket and jeans, with matching slip-on shoes and carrying his backpack on his lap. 

The Northern Irish presenter took the opportunity to check his phone after landing and was seen to still be wearing his wedding ring.

While Katie looked in very cheerful spirits, as she beamed while walking ahead of her new boyfriend, with an airport worker pushing their suitcases.

She put on a effortlessly stylish display for the flight, donning white trousers and a lowcut black top, with a red jumper draped over her shoulders.

She also added black open-toed sliders and a chic leather handbag, styling her hair in waves and sporting a striking smoky eyeshadow look.

Eamonn has been open about his new relationship with the blonde beauty, with the pair pictured enjoying two holidays together over the summer.

However, a source has told MailOnline that Ruth wasn’t expecting her estranged husband to be so open about his new romance.

The insider shared: ‘Ruth is shocked by how open Eamonn is being about his relationship, after all they both still have their wedding rings on.’ 

Revealing the real reason the estranged couple haven’t removed their rings, they added: ‘Neither of them want to be the first to take it off because they don’t want to look like they’re to blame for the split.’

In contrast, Eamonn is said to be ‘smitten’ with his new love.

Speaking about the presenter and Katie’s holiday plans, the source shared: ‘They both love cruises and they feel like they can be free onboard to act how they want. They are both smitten.’ 

When approached by MailOnline, Ruth’s representatives declined to comment and Eamonn’s representatives did not respond to comment. 

The holiday comes after Katie denied claims she’s set to move in with the broadcaster. 

The pair were reported to be house-hunting together just four months after their blossoming romance began.

However, Katie’s representatives have exclusively told MailOnline this is not the case.

The rumours were sparked after a source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s assured him she’s in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely.’ 

‘They’ve been spending so much time at his Kingston flat that they’re even looking to move in together permanently.’ 

It isn’t the first trip the pair have been on this month, as Eamonn took his girlfriend Katie to visit his hometown of Belfast amid claims they are ‘in it for the long haul.’ 

Eamonn is said to be smitten with Katie and their relationship has been ‘taken to the next level’, MailOnline previously revealed.

Friends claimed they are now spending most weekends together at his Richmond flat after his marriage to Ruth ended.

Eamonn and Katie are mulling over when to take their relationship public and are said to have been offered ‘big money’ for the official first pictures of them together.

The source shared: ‘They’ve been offered some decent money for the first pictures of them together.’ 

They continued: ‘Katie and Eamonn are definitely in it for the long haul. She says she loves him and he loves her.’

The pair’s friendship advanced when he moved out of the marital home he shared with Ruth after his devastated wife discovered messages between him and another mystery woman.

In May, Ruth and Eamonn were said to be in the process of divorcing’ after work commitments ‘took their marriage in different directions’.

A spokesperson for the couple said: ‘Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.’ 

Eamonn and Ruth, who wed in 2010 after 13 years together, are ‘determined to stay friends and keep things amicable’.
