Eamonn Holmes is gearing up for some more romantic holidays with his new flame, Katie Alexander, according to reports. The presenter has recently gone public with his new partner as they headed on a cruise together, putting on a loved-up display during the trip as they were spotted several times.

And now, a source has told The Sun, "Eamonn's lined up lots more cruises with Katie for the near future- it's become something they're both really looking forward to. It became a bit of a sticking point between them as Eamonn has always had a passion for exploring new places."

The fresh romance come hot off the heels of Eamonn's split from wife of 14 years Ruth Langsford, with the pair announcing their separation in May. The source added that Eamonn allegedly used to say that Ruth didn't share his passion for travelling and wasn't keen to travel via the open ocean.

"Now, with Katie, Eamonn feels he can really embrace that side of life again. He's eager to make up for the years he felt he missed out on," they added.

Eamonn has appeared to make no secret of his relationship with Katie, with the pair spotted enjoying time together in Barcelona, where the GB News anchor was seen with his arms wrapped around her. 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. They were later seen arriving at his bachelor pad in Kingston.

It's understood that Ruth has enlisted the expertise of leading lawyer Catherine Costley to navigate the divorce, with whispers suggesting things could become "very, very tricky".

Closer magazine has reported that what began as an "amicable" separation has soured while Eamonn has been seen living it up on the luxury cruise with his new love interest, leaving Ruth "gobsmacked". A source confided to Closer that Ruth is gingerly stepping back into the dating scene, albeit with some "understandable nerves", reports the Mirror.

The insider disclosed: "While Ruth's making the most of being single, she's also ready to dip her toe back into the dating pool - and after some friendly flirting, she's given pals the go-ahead to set her up on dates.

"She's really excited for that first date, and while she's understandably nervous, she can't wait for the tummy flutters of falling for someone again and experiencing all the 'firsts' with a new boyfriend."
