Eamonn Holmes has reportedly gushed over his girlfriend Katie Alexander.
The GB News presenter, 65, began dating the marriage counsellor, 43, at the end of last year after his split from Loose Women star Ruth Langsford following 14 years of marriage.
According to Bella magazine, the presenter even called Katie his 'soulmate' at GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month.
He reportedly added: 'In sickness you find out who is there for you.'
'It was an insensitive comment from Eamonn, but he's smitten with Katie and does feel like she has been there for him through the hard times,' a source told The Mirror.
'That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning.'
The Standard has contacted a representative of Eamonn Holmes for comment,
Eamonn been has been battling health issues for years after dislodging discs in his back which he said previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg.
In March, the presenter told his followers he is in constant pain.
"Even when the sun shines there's pain,' he said, sharing a selfie to his 782,000 followers.
"Sometimes I feel I'll never beat this disc immobility but I'm determined to have a life.
'So pray for me, help me or get out of the way social media haters.'
He has frequently been pictured either in a wheelchair or relying on walking aids and turned to various therapies to aid his rehabilitation.
And posting a throwback snap on social media in May, Eamonn said a picture of him broadcasting made him upset as he now can't walk.
'Great picture popped up from 3 years but it's made me sad - I could walk,' he wrote. 'Got to redouble my efforts.'
Last year, Eamonn and his ex-partner Ruth Langsford confirmed that they were set to divorce after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together.
Issuing a joint statement, a spokesperson for the former couple - who share one grown-up son - said: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
