Eamonn Holmes 'takes brutal swipe at ex-wife Ruth Langsford' as he gushes over new love Katie Alexander
The TV presenter, 65, found love with Katie, 43, following his divorce from Ruth, 65, in May 2024, when they split after 14 years of marriage and two decades together.
Eamonn and Katie have not been shy of showing off their affections for one another and looked very loved-up at GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month.
While attending the glitzy party, Eamonn seemingly took a swipe at his ex-wife Ruth while discussing his blossoming new relationship, according to Bella Magazine.
He described Katie as his 'soulmate', before adding: 'In sickness you find out who is there for you.'
A source told The Mirror of his remark: '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.
'That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning.'
Eamonn has battled a number of health problems in recent years, including a double hip replacement surgery, slipped discs and ongoing spinal problems.
MailOnline has contacted Eamonn's representatives for comment.
Eamonn and Katie grew close last summer and began dating soon after, with engagement rumours even swirling in December.
Eamonn and Ruth had shocked fans with their joint statement on May 25, 2024, confirming the end of their 14 year marriage.
However, the TV presenter continued wearing his wedding ring before he ditched the band last month, while Ruth has also stopped wearing her ring.
At first, Ruth had resolutely kept her ring on, even declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married', before officially ditching the band.
The exes are now going through divorce, with Ruth thought to be desperate to finalise their split, having sought advice from lawyers to keep their £3.6million six-bedroom home in Surrey.
However, Eamonn is reportedly 'dragging his feet' and is 'determined' to get his finances back in order to give Katie the same lavish lifestyle his ex Ruth enjoyed.
A source told The Sun: 'Katie's been a rock to Eamonn throughout his ongoing divorce Eamonn's health is always a big concern and after a few tax blows lately, he is more determined than ever to get his finances back in order.
'Eamonn feels hard done by in the divorce.
'He's dragging his feet because Ruth's got the house and they have a lot of other financials still to sort out between them.
'Eamonn knows his mobility issues are a worry, he needs a carer to help him get ready for work and that's expensive.'
The insider added that Eamonn 'doesn't want to lose' Katie, and is keen to give her the 'kind of lifestyle she deserves'.

Jude Law, 52, cuts a trendy figure in a beige knitted cardigan and white linen trousers as he steps out to meet pals
Jude Law looked every inch the Hollywood hunk in white linen as he strolled through the streets of London to meet pals on Wednesday. The English actor, 52, opted for a beige knitted cardigan layered over a low-scoop white vest top, which exposed some of his chest hair. Cutting a trendy figure, Jude paired it with a pair of airy white linen trousers and blue suede shoes. Carrying his iPad under his arm, he accessorised with a stylish pair of black-tinted sunglasses. Jude appeared in top spirits as he finished a meeting in the city before heading to his next destination. His outing comes just the day after his ex Sienna Miller, headed to the Shane Cooper Clinic in London for a series of treatments. The actress, 42, who dated Jude for five years, underwent a combination of advanced technologies to maintain her glowing complexion. Shane posted a stunning snap of Sienna showing off her dewy skin after her treatment. Dressed in a grey top, the beauty beamed at the camera as her make-up-free skin took centre stage. Alongside the post, Shane penned: 'Sienna has been a long-time client for many years and it's always such a pleasure catching up. 'We've maintained her skin with a bespoke combination of advanced technologies and my personal expertise. She also uses products from my @shanecooperskincare range at home to keep that signature glow between treatments. Just adore her.' It comes after Jude revealed he's 'moved on' from the time in his life when he was engaged to Sienna. The actor told VARIETY 'that time in his life is now over,' after his relationship was the centre of huge public attention. Jude and Sienna split in 2006 after his affair with his children's nanny Daisy Wright came to public knowledge in 2005, and the actress said in 2020 that she found the scandal 'really hard'. Shane posted a stunning snap of Sienna showing off her dewy skin after her treatment Speaking about the time he and Sienna were engaged, Jude said: 'That time is now over, and I've moved on from it. And so has, fortunately, the attention of the photographers and the prying eyes on me. 'But I've had to learn to live in a certain way that keeps them at bay. And I have to handle my kids' and my partner's privacy in the same way.' Sienna and Jude first met on the set of their film Alfie, and the pair got engaged on Christmas Day in 2004 after nearly a year of dating. She broke off the engagement following news of his affair, with the pair separating in November 2006 after failing to salvage their relationship. They reconnected in late 2009 when both starred on Broadway, with Sienna even spending Christmas with Jude and three of his children in Barbados, but they broke up once again in February 2011. Before meeting Sienna, Jude was married to Sadie Frost -with whom he shares three of his children son Rafferty, 28, Iris, 24, and Rudy, 22 - but they got a divorce in 2003, after six years of marriage. Jude is now married to psychologist Phillipa Coan, who he was first spotted with at the Hay literary festival in 2015. The couple got married at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London in 2019, before partying in Mayfair – three months after the actor announced their engagement. They have two children together. The actor also has a daughter Sophia, 15, with model Samantha Burke and Ada, nine, with musician Catherine Harding.

A look at Princess Andre's 'stylish' outfits as Katie Price's daughter and PLT brand ambassador makes unexpected addition to high society magazine Tatler's best dressed list
Princess Andre made an unexpected addition to high society magazine Tatler's 2025 'Best Dressed In Britain' list. The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre surprisingly outperformed the Princess of Wales, who didn't even feature in their top ten list despite her previously winning in 2022. While Kate Middleton favours timeless pieces from high-end Burberry, Self-Portrait, Chanel and Reiss, Princess scooped the second spot on Tatler's prestigious list with her 'stylish' outfits from fast-fashion brand PrettyLittleThing. To make the list, Tatler says 'one must exude timeless elegance and that modern je ne sais quoi'. 'The daughter of glamour model Katie Price and 1990s pop heartthrob Peter Andre is the face of a new generation of British pop culture royalty,' the magazine stated. 'At just 18, the world is her oyster, and with her babydoll eyes, blonde beachy waves down to her hips and wardrobe of Y2K revival hits, this Princess is ready for her crown.' Princess, who bagged herself an impressive four-figure deal with PrettyLittleThing last year, seems to be taking the world of fashion by storm. A source revealed at the time: 'Princess is so excited, she's looked up to her mum for years and has aspired to model for a brand like PrettyLittleThing since she can remember. 'She knows she's still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she's protected and well looked after. 'The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it's naturally a great fit for both parties.' PrettyLittleThing unveiled a rebrand earlier this year in a bid to usher an 'elevated new era' and step into a contemporary womenswear brand. The brand's co-founder Umar Kamani reimagined the brand's future in hopes to move away from its fast fashion routes. Princess has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in recent years, and has been cashing in on brand deals as well as her upcoming TV fame. The nepo baby has vowed to become a 'millionaire by the age of 20' thanks to her many fast-fashion brand deals. The nepo baby has vowed to become a 'millionaire by the age of 20' thanks to her many fast-fashion brand deals Princess, who boasts 763,000 followers on Instagram, has already signed big money deals with PrettyLittleThing, Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution. It appeared the theme for the 2025 list was glamorous celebrity nepo babies - with Madonna's son Rocco Ritchie in third, jewellery heiress Nadja Swarovski in fourth and Prestwold Hall heir George Packe-Drury-Lowe in eighth. Other prestigious stars included Princess Alexia of the Netherlands and Lady Lola Bute. Since her first brand deal, Princess has gone on to attend events work work with other fashion and beauty brands including White Fox and Boots. Elsewhere, Princess is getting her own ITV show for her 18th birthday as she is set to start her career following in her mother's footsteps. She is reportedly hopeful that the fly-on-the-wall show will help boost her modelling career during an age which saw her own mother, Jordan, rise to fame. A source told The Sun previously: 'Princess is very conscious of the fact her mum got famous very early in her career, so Katie is a big inspiration to her. 'Bagging her own TV show is a huge deal, but producers are keen to stress it is about her and not her famous parents. 'Both Katie and Peter are likely to feature, though it will likely be more as cameo stars.'
