After his split from Ruth Langsford was revealed last month, Eamonn Holmes has found support in a new female companion, Katie Alexander.

Despite meeting several years ago, the pair became close last year and Katie is now ‘smitten’ with the presenter after supporting him during his turbulent split from wife Ruth.

Ruth and Eamonn, both 64, recently revealed they are headed for divorce after work commitments ‘took their marriage in different directions’.

Eamonn has been spending time with the relationship counsellor Katie amid the split and she is hoping her friendship with Eamonn could grow into a long-term relationship in the coming months. 

So who is Katie Alexander? Here is everything we have discovered about Eamonn’s lady companion so far. 

Eamonn Holmes has been spending time with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander amid his split from Ruth Langsford, and she is hoping her friendship with Eamonn could grow into a long-term relationship in the coming months

Who is Katie Alexander?

Katie works as a relationship counsellor and her website says that she takes ‘a holistic approach to counselling’.

She offers in-person, telephone and online therapy services, at a price of £45 for a 50-minute session.

The site also states: ‘I work with person-centred modality and take a holistic approach to counselling, focusing on you, the client. This means that you have the voice and the space to express yourself fully without judgment.

‘My belief is that you, the client, are capable of, and hold the power of achieving what it is that you want out of life. It is my job to try and help you make sense of what can sometimes be difficult to do alone.’

One anonymous review also praises Kate’s services, saying: ‘Katie made me feel so comfortable throughout the sessions, speaking to her with no judgement and her allowing me to look at certain things in a completely different light.

‘My confidence has grown massively and I would highly recommend Katie especially for anyone feeling unsure if therapy is right for them.’

However, Katie also has a fun site, with her personal Instagram bio defiantly states: ‘Kitchen dancer with a soul too glam to give a damn.’

She also has an Instagram account dedicated to her love of photography. The bio reads: ‘Just a photography loving Yorkshire girl taking some pictures!’

Katie is also divorced and a mother to three children.

In her spare time she also has a passion for photography and has her own account dedicated to her work

How did the pair meet?

The pair reportedly met several years ago but have struck up a close friendship over the past couple of years.

They originally got in contact via Twitter after both being involved with a mental health charity.

Katie commented on a post and it sparked a conversation between the pair.

Most recently, Katie has been seen visiting Eamonn at his rented apartment in South West London, after he moved out of his home with Ruth in Surrey, from her home in Yorkshire.

What is her relationship with Eammon?

Friends have told MailOnline that she and Eamonn are so close she’s ‘in love’ with him.

The divorcee and mother-of-three has grown close to the star after a ‘string of outings’ together, and has reportedly said she is ‘in it for the long haul.’

A source previously told The Mirror: ‘She is helping Eamonn through the tough times but doesn’t want to be seen as a marriage wrecker.

‘The friendship has grown in recent months but Eamonn’s marriage has been over for some time.’

The publication claims Eamonn has taken her on a safari park trip, to a Manchester United game, a Beyoncé concert and has spoiled her with gifts.

He has also endorsed a charity linked to her work and helped to host a fund-raising event free of charge.

Friends explained that the woman’s counselling skills include coping with ‘feeling sad’ and ‘separation and divorce’ therefore it seems fitting she will be supporting Eamonn at this time of uncertainty.

While his friendship with Katie is not said to be a reason for the marriage breakdown it is understood that Ruth was unaware of her until recently and has decided to take time off work

Does she know Ruth?

While his friendship with Katie is not said to be a reason for the marriage breakdown it is understood that Ruth was unaware of her until recently and has decided to take time off work.

A source told The Sun: ‘Ruth was obviously aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details emerge, her upset has turned to anger.

‘Eamonn’s friend is bowled over by being lavished with attention and kindness from him.’

One pal then told The Mirror: ‘Ruth was hurt when she learned about Eamonn’s friendship with another woman but she is strong and she will be back soon with a smile on her face, putting her best foot forward, as she always does.

‘She needs a bit of time to regroup after everything that’s gone on, which is understandable, but she plans to return to Loose Women, with renewed vigour, in July.’

The friend also insisted that there was ‘no chance whatsoever’ that the pair would ever get back together.
