Eamonn Holmes 'treats girlfriend Katie Alexander to luxury getaway and £12,000 gift after rocky patch'

Eamonn Holmes has reportedly lavished his girlfriend Katie Alexander with luxury gifts after their relationship hit a “rocky patch”.

The GB News host, 65, left the marriage counsellor, 43, disappointed when he failed to buy her £550,000 dream home in her native West Yorkshire earlier this year, sources claimed.

However, Holmes - who is locked in a divorce battle with Ruth Langsford - is believed to have been making up for it by treating Alexander to some pricey treats.

The former This Morning star reportedly gifted Alexander VIP tickets to watch his beloved Manchester United take on Fulham.

They were spotted at the Premier League club's new £100 million hospitality stand where they enjoyed Michelin-star food, with tickets costing up to £12,000 each.

He then whisked her off on a romantic weekend getaway to his native Belfast in northern Ireland, according to The Sun.

A source said: “Eamonn and Katie didn’t always look blissfully happy at the football, but at least they showed they are still an item.

“Eamonn’s moody face later might have been due to United conceding an equaliser to Fulham - denying his team a much needed win. The Northern Ireland air will have cheered him up for sure.”

The outlet claimed things became strained between Holmes and Alexander - who went Instagram official in May - when he pulled out of buying a semi-detached home in Yorkshire.

Holmes had reportedly been set to buy the property and visit his partner between TV presenting shifts in London.

The Standard has contacted Holmes’ representative for comment.

Last month, Holmes and Alexander enjoyed a family holiday in Paphos, Cyprus, with her three adult children.

The group are thought to have stayed at a five-star hotel and enjoyed a cruise on a mega yacht with a glass-bottom aquarium deck.

In May 2024, Holmes and Langsford confirmed they were set to divorce after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together.

A spokesperson for the couple said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

Langsford finally took off her wedding ring in July.

In a cooking video shared on Instagram, she quietly removed her wedding band after leaving it on for more than a year.

Holmes been has been battling health issues for years after dislodging discs in his back which he said previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg.

In March, the presenter told his followers he is in constant pain.

He has frequently been pictured either in a wheelchair or relying on walking aids and turned to various therapies to aid his rehabilitation.
