Eamonn Holmes’ girlfriend Katie Alexander shared a cryptic post about “knowing her worth” amid their recent reported relationship troubles.

The relationship counsellor, 45, is believed to have moved out of Holmes’ £1.3 million rented Surrey flat earlier this month in an “incredibly sad situation”.

Meanwhile, Holmes’ ex-wife Ruth Langsford – from whom he split in 2024 – is thought to have put their bitter divorce battle behind them and is caring for him in hospital, where he has been recovering since his stroke in April.

Alexander, who began dating GB News host Holmes in 2024 after they met online, shared a a bikini selfie on her Instagram Stories this week and captioned it: “There is a quiet kind of strength in becoming comfortable with who you are.

“No longer needing to prove, explain or seek validation – just choosing peace, protecting your energy and finding beauty in the life you’re creating.”

She concluded: “Softness is strength. Peace is luxury. And knowing your worth changes everything. Starting with yourself.”

Eamonn Holmes with his girlfriend Katie Alexander InstagramHer pointed post comes just days after reports that Langsford has joined Holmes’ first wife, Gabrielle Holmes, with whom he has three children, at their “vulnerable” ex’s bedside in hospital.

The Loose Women presenter, 66, who has a son, Jack, 24, with Holmes, is understood to have bonded with Gabrielle over their “serious concerns” about Holmes’ wellbeing.

“For a long time Eamonn and Ruth have just been completely and entirely at odds with one another,” a source told The Mail.

“They reached a point where they couldn’t even communicate directly. Things became very difficult. Ruth was really upset about it all. It’s astonishing that she’s managed to put this behind her.

“The anger appears to have thawed and has been replaced by genuine concern. The thought of Ruth and Gabrielle being on good terms was just as unlikely. Yet here they all are clubbing together and rallying around with the kids to protect Eamonn.”

Alexander shared this cryptic post on InstagramInstagramThe source added that Langsford and Gabrielle have “come through when Eamonn needed them most,” and said their support has eased some of the “pressure” off of Holmes’ children.

Holmes, 66, and Langsford are believed to be due in court again in November over the division of their joint £10 million fortune – but it is not known whether this will still go ahead, according to the publication.

It comes after reports that Holmes’ girlfriend Alexander has left his flat, which he has been renting since his split from Langsford.

The mother-of-three lives in West Yorkshire but has been splitting her time between there and the Surrey apartment, The Sun reported. It is unclear where Holmes will live when he leaves the hospital, according to the outlet.

“Katie is still very much together with Eamonn and in love, but she’s moved out of the flat,” a source said.

“It’s an incredibly sad situation — she loved it there and the time they spent together making it home. Katie has been Eamonn’s rock and lifeline since he fell ill. She’s willing him to get back to full fitness and get their lives back on track.”

Ruth Langsford has reportedly been caring for Holmes in the hospitalPA ArchiveHolmes’ future at GB News has faced doubt in light of his multiple health issues.

The broadcaster had suffered a series of live mishaps on the breakfast show in the months before his stroke, including falling off his chair and reportedly falling asleep – although he denied this happened.

He was hospitalised after he was reportedly found “slumped and out cold” at his home.

Holmes shared a message from his hospital bed in April, posting a photo of his two granddaughters with a handmade “Get well soom[sic]” card for him.

He captioned the post: “As my beautiful granddaughters put it so well – I will do my best to get well SOON. Thank you for all of your many many good wishes, they give me strength.”

The former This Morning presenter has endured numerous health problems in the past few years, and recently revealed dealing with illness and mobility issues have been “horrendous”.

Holmes underwent a double hip replacement in 2016. Five years later, he suffered three slipped discs and a dislocated pelvis.

The presenter later had spinal surgery and his ongoing mobility issues mean he now often uses a walker or wheelchair.
