Eamonn Holmes was spotted getting rather handsy with his new love Katie Alexander, as the couple indulged in some serious PDA during their sun-soaked Ibiza getaway. The 64 year old GB News anchor and his 42 year old relationship counsellor beau took off for a lavish break, initially touching down in Barcelona before setting sail on a romantic cruise. This unexpected twist in Eamonn's love life has reportedly left his estranged wife Ruth Langsford reeling, especially after their recent split. Despite the end of his marriage, the ex-This Morning host was seen still sporting his wedding band while gazing up at Katie with clear admiration as he navigated the streets in a motorised wheelchair.

Snapped by the Mail Online, Eamonn cut a dapper figure in crisp white trousers, a breezy linen shirt, and a chic navy blazer. Katie, meanwhile, turned heads in a body-hugging velvet dress complete with trendy feather accents, showing off her pins in strappy heels. The duo certainly gave bystanders something to talk about, with Eamonn cheekily squeezing Katie's derriere as they appeared ready to paint the town red. Their journey began at Heathrow Airport on Sunday morning, jetting off to Barcelona to kickstart their holiday. Earlier this year, Ruth and Eamonn announced their separation. In May, they released a joint statement confirming: "[They] have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

Eamonn and Katie are believed to have started dating over recent months after becoming friends a few years ago. Eamonn split from Loose Women's Ruth earlier this year after over two decades together. While the pair have not shared details about their split, they released a statement confirming they were planning to divorce after over 10 years of marriage. The couple first got together in around 1997 and married in 2010.

Ruth has not commented on Eamonn's new relationship, and neither he nor Katie have publicly confirmed their romance. However, Katie's ex Michael, with whom she shares a son, has spoken out and appeared to confirm his ex's new romance.

Katie's former partner Michael Devine, who was 59 when he met 19-year-old Katie, shared with Mail Online that their son Ben had informed him of Katie's new relationship with Eamonn. "Ben told me Eamonn and Katie were together, but he doesn't say much, he's more interested in kicking a football around," he said.

Eamonn and Katie first connected through social media in 2015 and have since been seen together at various events, including a trip to Ireland, a Beyoncé concert, and a Manchester United match. Katie has reportedly defended herself against accusations that she is a home wrecker, and is reportedly "in it for the long haul".

According to The Mirror, Katie has been a pillar of strength for Eamonn since the breakdown of his marriage to Ruth. "She is helping Eamonn through the tough times but doesn't want to be seen as a marriage wrecker," a source told the publication. "The friendship has grown in recent months but Eamonn's marriage has been over for some time. She wants to help Eamonn with his situation and their friendship has grown over a period of time. She feels she will be close to him for a long period and is in this for the long haul."
