GB News stalwart Eamonn Holmes has offered a refreshingly honest glimpse into his new marriage with Maeva D'Ascanio, confessing that the couple's 'honeymoon phase' has officially concluded.
The beloved Belfast-born broadcaster, who tied the knot with the former Made in Chelsea star in a lavish November ceremony, revealed that married life has now entered a more practical, settled stage.
The Reality Of Married Life Sets In
During a candid discussion on his GB News show, the 64-year-old presenter didn't shy away from addressing the natural progression of their relationship. "We're not in the honeymoon phase anymore," Holmes stated matter-of-factly, acknowledging the transition from romantic newlyweds to a couple navigating daily life together.
The television personality explained how the dynamic has shifted since their luxurious wedding and subsequent celebrations, noting that they've now settled into the comfortable rhythm of domestic life.
A Blended Family Dynamic
Holmes also touched upon the complexities of their blended family situation. The presenter shares four children with ex-wife Ruth Langsford while Maeva, 31, has a young son from a previous relationship.
"We're just getting on with normal life," he remarked, highlighting the practical aspects of merging their lives and families. The couple have been open about their 33-year age gap, presenting a united front against critics while acknowledging the occasional challenges it presents.
From Whirlwind Romance To Settled Reality
The pair began dating in 2019 following Holmes's separation from Langsford, after having worked together for several years. Their relationship quickly progressed, with Holmes proposing in 2021 during a romantic trip to Dubai.
Their wedding at Chelsea Register Office was attended by close friends and family, followed by an extravagant reception at five-star hotel The Dorchester. Now, several months into married life, Holmes appears content with this new chapter, embracing the ordinary moments alongside the glamorous ones.
The presenter's candid comments about married life resonate with many couples who experience the natural transition from newlywed bliss to established partnership, proving that even celebrity marriages follow familiar patterns.
