Eamonn Holmes is reportedly vowing to give his new girlfriend Katie Alexander the same lavish lifestyle his ex Ruth Langsford enjoyed, with sources claiming he is willing to 'fight for what he deserves' in their divorce.
After splitting from Ruth in 2024, Eamonn, 65, has found love again with girlfriend Katie, 43, and is now 'determined' to get his finances back in order, and is 'dragging his feet' in his divorce.
This is in stark contrast to Ruth, who is thought to be desperate to finalise her split from Eamonn, having sought advice from lawyers to keep their £3.6million six-bedroom home in Surrey.
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.'
Over the weekend, Katie was proudly at Eamonn's side as they attended his GB News colleague Nana Akua's engagement party.
Having first grown close to Eamonn last summer, she showed off her glamorous transformation, with an insider added she's started seeking advice from stylists to be Eamonn's date at events.
After his production company was hit by huge six-figure debts, it's also been reported that Eamonn is keen to add to his workload on GB News.
Internal discussions are ongoing as Eamonn's GB News co-stars are bracing themselves for schedule changes.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Eamonn Holmes and Katie Alexander for comment.
Last month, Eamonn removed his wedding ring, over a year since his spilt from Ruth.
The TV couple shocked fans with their joint statement on May 25 2024 confirming the end of their 14 year marriage.
And while Eamonn has embarked on a new relationship with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, he had continued to wear his gold band on his wedding finger.
However, as he hosted a recent edition of GB News alongside co-star Ellie Costello, his ring was noticeably absent from his hand.
While the presenter publicly ditched his jewellery for the on-air appearance, MailOnline understands that Eamonn does occasionally remove his ring.
Eamonn has battled a number of health problems in recent years, including a double hip replacement surgery, slipped discs and ongoing spinal problems.
It comes weeks after Ruth finally ditched her wedding ring almost a year after announcing their split.
But since then, Ruth has resolutely kept her wedding and engagement rings on, even once declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married.'
On a recent episode of her ITV show Loose Women though, Ruth revealed the rings were off.
Meanwhile, Eamonn's girlfriend Katie recently addressed a diamond ring on her wedding finger in new post shortly after going 'Instagram official' with their romance.
The presenter and marriage guidance counsellor Katie have been dating since mid-2024, with engagement rumours swirling since December.
And taking to her Instagram Stories, Katie posted a glowing selfie in a striped shirt, adding a playful thought bubble that read: 'Time for a coffee in between clients?'
In the snap, a dazzling diamond ring was clearly visible - prompting questions from fans. But before any rumours could gather steam, Katie quickly shut them down.
She clarified: 'Before anyone jumps to the #ringgate bandwagon, the camera is reversed so.... RightHandRingFinger!'
In May, Eamonn fell off his chair live on air, shocking his GB News co-stars.
As the camera focused on commentator Charlie Rowley at 6:15am, a crash could be heard off screen and the broadcaster's co-host Ellie Costello exclaimed 'oh my gosh.'
Eamonn was then heard saying: 'I'm fine, fine, fine, carry on, carry on.'
A stunned Charlie tried to continue but the early morning news programme cut to adverts seconds later.
After an extended six-minute break, Eamonn returned to screens, joking: 'I'm still alive,' as he blamed the 'wonky' wheels on his chair.
'They're very wonky wheels on chairs we've got here, as a matter of fact we don't really like the chairs here,' he said to his co-host Ellie.
'It was a shock for me because I had a fall two weeks ago in my bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back.'
