After a whirlwind year of personal upheaval, Eamonn Holmes was spotted at Heathrow Airport this weekend, seemingly putting the tension behind him with a relaxing trip to Greece.
The 65-year-old GB News host was joined by his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander, and her three grown-up children as they set off for what’s been described as a “luxurious Greek getaway.”
Looking Relaxed Before Boarding
Despite his ongoing back issues that require the use of a motorised wheelchair, Eamonn looked laid-back in a pinstriped shirt, dark trousers, and a navy sports jacket.
Meanwhile, Katie, 43, appeared summer-ready in a leg-baring black mini skirt, a tight white vest, and a tan blazer cinched with a chunky belt.
She carried a stylish panama hat, clearly prepared for sunshine.
Tensions Simmering Back Home
This sun-soaked escape comes after reports of tension in Eamonn’s personal life—specifically with his sons.
It’s been claimed that two of his children have sided with their former stepmother, Ruth Langsford, following Eamonn and Ruth’s split last year.
According to insiders, it’s been a particularly bitter divorce, and Eamonn’s relationships with some of his children have taken a hit.
Sons Reportedly Take Ruth’s Side
One of the most painful developments appears to be the fallout between Eamonn and his son Niall, 32, from his first marriage.
Sources say Niall has aligned himself with Ruth, which has been deeply upsetting for Eamonn.
Even Jack, 23—the son he shares with Ruth—seems to have taken his mother’s side, reportedly moving into a new flat in Salford that Ruth helped arrange.
A Long History With Katie
Eamonn and Katie’s connection reportedly goes back over a decade, with some sources claiming they were in contact 12 years ago through flirty messages.
Although both were married at the time, the couple insist nothing romantic happened until both of their marriages had ended.
Still, their continued relationship hasn’t exactly gone over well with some members of Eamonn’s family.
Trying to Rebuild After the Split
Sources say Eamonn is doing what he can to give Katie the same lifestyle his ex enjoyed.
From expensive gifts to fancy holidays, he appears committed to keeping her happy—even while managing his health and financial struggles.
Reportedly, he’s been taking his time with the divorce proceedings, partly due to disagreements over property and money, including the £3.6 million Surrey home that Ruth hopes to keep.
Money, Health, and the Strain of Divorce
Eamonn’s financial picture has reportedly been complicated by health issues and tax troubles.
A source shared that he’s feeling the pressure, noting that his mobility challenges require help from a carer, which adds to his expenses.
Despite everything, he’s apparently focused on getting his finances in order and not letting go of Katie, who’s been described as his “rock.”
Symbolic Changes After a Year Apart
Though Eamonn and Ruth publicly announced their separation back in May 2024, he continued to wear his wedding ring for over a year.
That recently changed.
During a GB News broadcast with co-host Ellie Costello, viewers noticed that his gold band was missing from his finger—marking another clear sign that he’s moving on.
Public Split Still Making Waves
When Eamonn and Ruth first announced their breakup after 27 years together—14 of them married—the news stunned fans.
Their long partnership had made them one of UK television’s most recognisable couples.
Now, more than a year later, the emotional and financial fallout is still playing out in the public eye.
Moving Forward, But Not Without Baggage
While Eamonn’s sunny vacation with Katie may look carefree on the surface, it’s clear he’s still navigating the complex emotional terrain of divorce, strained family ties, and health challenges.
For now, though, it seems a Greek getaway might be just the break he needs.
