Eamonn Holmes is believed to be planning more luxury holidays with new girlfriend Katie Alexander following a romantic free cruise around the Mediterranean.
The former This Morning presenter, 64, and relationship counsellor Katie, 42, confirmed they were dating shortly after his split from wife Ruth Langsford was confirmed in May.
And Eamonn has been discussing his future plans with GBNews colleagues, according to The sun.
An employee told the publication: “Eamonn has scheduled many more cruises with Katie for the near future – it’s become something they both look forward to.”
They added: ‘It became a point of conflict between them as Eamonn always had a passion for exploring new places.
Eamonn Holmes is believed to be planning more luxury holidays with new girlfriend Katie Alexander following a free romantic cruise around the Mediterranean.
The former This Morning presenter, 64, who shocked the nation when he and ex Ruth Langsford went their separate ways, and his counsellor girlfriend, 42, confirmed they were dating just weeks ago.
“Now, with Katie, Eamonn feels he can enjoy that side of life again. He’s looking forward to making up for the years he felt he missed out on.”
They later revealed that Eamonn allegedly used to say that Ruth didn’t like travelling and didn’t enjoy travelling by boat or plane.
Northern Irish divorcee Katie, a mother of three, first struck up a friendship with the TV presenter in 2015 via Twitter.
Her counseling specialties include “affairs and betrayals” as well as “separations and divorces.”
MailOnline has contacted Eamonn’s representatives for comment.
As exclusively revealed by the Daily Mail, Eamonn and Katie’s latest holiday was a cruise that was actually a “gift”.
He got it after signing a lucrative deal to be an ambassador for the giant travel company Not Just Travel.
In exchange for the perk, the TV presenter was forced to film content for the company’s social media platforms while enjoying a break courtesy of its cruise division, Virgin Voyages, on a ship called The Scarlet Lady.
And their relationship appears to be filled with romance, as Eamonn has been bragging about his future plans to his GBNews pals, according to The Sun.
“Although it looked like Eamonn had taken Katie on a no-expenses-spared trip, in reality it didn’t cost him a penny,” a travel source explains.
‘It was part of his deal with Not Just Travel, so if anything he got paid to go, which was really lucky, especially since he could bring a companion with him.
“There was a work element,” the source adds. “Eamonn had to film some segments to promote the company. But the fact that he didn’t pay certainly undermines the idea that it was a romantic trip.”
‘But Katie didn’t seem to mind, it was a lovely, sunny break for her as they enjoyed their first moments of love.’
Indeed, that was evident, particularly when Eamonn was seen shamelessly touching Katie’s bum while sitting in his wheelchair in Ibiza.
The couple were also photographed at Barcelona airport and when they returned to Heathrow.
It was a seven-day getaway, billed as a visit to the ‘irresistible Mediterranean and Rome’ and which began with Eamonn, 64, and Katie, 42, flying into Barcelona where they boarded the boat.
From there they sailed to Toulon on the Mediterranean coast of southern France, and then to Marina di Carrara, a picturesque location between Tuscany and Liguria on the northern coast of Italy.
After a stop there they sailed to Civitavecchia, 40 miles north of Rome, which still preserves its ancient Roman dock, built in the 2nd century.
Since Langsford announced their split in May, Alexander has been visiting Holmes at her home in Kingston, Surrey, where she now lives after moving out of the £2million marital home she shared with Ruth about ten miles away.
Initially, the romance was kept under wraps, but their cruise together definitely put it on the map.
Northern Irish divorcee Katie, a mother of three, first struck up a friendship with the TV presenter in 2015 via Twitter.
And no one will have been happier with the turn of events than bosses at Not Just Travel, who say they are “delighted” that Alexander came along.
“The deal was Eamonn’s, but having his new girlfriend definitely made the whole holiday a lot more interesting from a marketing perspective,” says an industry source.
‘His presence there will have raised the company’s profile considerably – money can’t buy that kind of publicity.
“Signing Eamonn and giving him this trip has been worth every penny.”
