Ex-partner of 27 years Eamonn has put a deposit down on a plush new-build hideaway for him and his new lover, 43-year-old Katie following the release of Ruth Langsford’s tell-all memoir.
Eamonn Holmes has bought a luxury new-build property for weekend retreats with his younger lover Katie Alexander, following his split from his former partner of 27 years, Ruth Langsford. The plush homes are set in a secluded hamlet in Holywood, five miles out from the TV and radio star’s native Belfast.
It will offer the new couple a base for their trips to Northern Ireland to see Eamonn’s family and an escape for weekend getaways together. The 66-year-old former This Morning host has reportedly laid down a deposit on one of the homes, which cost anywhere from £700,000 to £900,000.

A source told the Sun : “Eamonn loves going back to Northern Ireland visiting family and he’s been after a new place there for a while. It will be the perfect place to build a home with Katie, with no memories of anyone else. They can use it for weekend retreats.”
Since Eamonn’s mobility issues have advanced since 2021, he has been forced to use a walking stick and wheelchair. The location is “perfect,” according to the source, because the properties can be “custom-built” to make them accessible.
Following Ruth’s announcement that her new memoir, Feeling Fabulous will detail the “highs and lows” of their relationship, the new hideaway may have come at a good time for Eamonn. After almost three decades of dating, the couple split in 2024, with Eamonn wasting no time before moving on with his friend, 43-year-old relationship therapist Katie Alexander.
The former couple have remained tight-lipped about their separation, but Ruth is likely to be opening up about everything in her book, which is due out on February 26. She shared the news on Instagram on Friday, telling fans she will tell about “the good and the not so good”.
She remarked, “I can’t believe my first book will be published in 2026! I’m very excited but also a little nervous. These are accounts of my life, both positively and negatively, as well as the positive and negative aspects of everything that led to who I am today.
The Loose Women star continued: “I share the experiences that have shaped me and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Publication day is 26th February but you can pre order a copy now (and a limited number of signed copies are available too). Click the link in my bio or check out my stories to get your copy. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it x”.
Ruth and Eamonn have been together since their marriage ended, and she just recently revealed that she has been receiving therapy. She explained to the home magazine woman& that she had begun counseling.
My counsellor “does not get involved in our relationship because she probably saw us on TV,” she said. She simply nods, “Have you thought about this?” or “Why did that make you feel that way?” She continued, “I think I know myself very well, so it has just been soothing.” I’m left wondering how I’m feeling.
