The ex-husband of Eamonn Holmes' new girlfriend has come forward to offer his sympathy for Ruth Langsford. Former This Morning hosts Ruth and Eamonn announced their shock divorce in May, after 14 years of marriage and 27 years as a couple. While Ruth has been navigating life after separating from her ex, Eamonn, 64, has since been linked with 42-year-old divorcee Katie Alexander, a relationship counsellor.
Katie was married to George Alexander, 53, between 2010 and 2022, with the couple still an item when Katie began her friendship with GB News host Eamonn. There's no suggestion of any overlap between the relationships, although it's reported Eamonn and Ruth's marriage came to an end after she was "devastated" to find messages from another woman on his laptop . Now, businessman George has said he has "a lot of sympathy for Ruth".
Speaking to The Sun , he admitted he was "heartbroken" when his own marriage came to an end, adding it took him years to "recover". He said: "She's going through what I did after our marriage ended." George added: "She was not swooning over him like he was George Clooney.
But she liked being on social media and one day she said she’d had a reply from him." George revealed that Katie and Eamonn were speaking on social media when they were together - as friends - adding that he was "surprised" to find out the pair were "regularly" meeting up after his divorce in 2022. The Mirror has reached out to Eamonn's reps, with Ruth's declining to comment.
