Eamonn Holmes and his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander, have made their red carpet debut as a couple, stepping out in London amidst the broadcaster's highly publicised separation from wife of 14 years, Ruth Langsford.
The pair attended the annual Butterfly Ball, a high-profile charity gala, marking their first major public appearance together since romance rumours began to swirl. Holmes, 64, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, while Alexander, a relationship counsellor, opted for an elegant floor-length gown.
A Confident Public Debut
The appearance signals a significant step for the new couple, who seemed relaxed and confident as they posed for photographers. Their decision to attend a prominent charity event suggests a desire to present a united and serious front, moving their relationship out of the shadows of speculation and into the public eye.
Sources close to the couple suggest that Holmes is "blissfully happy" and has found a genuine connection with Alexander, who works in the field of emotional health and well-being.
Navigating a Public Split
The new relationship comes during a delicate time for Holmes, who confirmed his split from television presenter Ruth Langsford just last month. The former 'This Morning' power couple, married since 2010 and together for 27 years, announced their separation was a "work in progress".
This public outing with Alexander will undoubtedly fuel further discussion about the timeline of the breakdown of his marriage. However, friends of Holmes have been quick to defend him, insisting the new romance began only after his marriage had irretrievably broken down.
Life After 'This Morning'
Since his departure from ITV's daytime flagship show, Holmes has carved out a new career as a host on GB News. His professional reboot appears to be mirroring his personal life, as he embraces this new chapter away from the partnership that made him a household name alongside Langsford.
All eyes will now be on how this new relationship develops and the public's reception to Holmes and Alexander as a couple, following his decades-long partnership with a much-loved television personality.
