Eamonn Holmes is said to be “lonely” as he deals with a major rejection from his younger girlfriend. The TV star is currently in a relationship with a woman 22 years younger than himself after splitting from Ruth Langsford.

However, it’s thought that the new couple could be facing some issues as Katie Alexander is reportedly refusing to move in with Eamonn. The marriage counsellor is choosing to stay living in Yorkshire due to co-parenting her two teenagers with her ex-husband.

This means that she won’t be moving to London to spend more time with Eamonn who now lives in a penthouse flat in Kingston after moving out of his house he shared with Ruth. A source has said that there is “no way” that Katie will be moving in any time soon.

The MailOnline reported that they were told by a source: “‘There’s no way she will move in with Eamonn in the near future, or for many years. She has her children to consider. Truth be told, they are a little unsettled at her relationship being played out in the media and she doesn’t want to uproot them.

“They have met Eamonn on several occasions and get on great with him, so things will stay as they are for the time being. Eamonn seems so lonely since splitting with Ruth, so it’s not exactly ideal for him.”

Eamonn and Ruth were together for 14 years before they called time on their relationship last spring. The former couple had been together since 1996 and married since 2010.

The pair have been quiet about their split but it was reported that the the divorce has been “very painful” for Ruth. Ruth previously opened up about the split and told Woman and Home Magazine: “A break-up of a relationship is hard enough for anybody to deal with. A divorce is very difficult and it’s very painful, but most people don’t have to do it in the public eye, with everybody having an opinion about you and writing things about you and commenting things about you.

“But that’s the nature of my job. I’ve always had that and if you can’t cope with that, you shouldn’t be doing this job. I’m quite fine being on my own, but not forever. When you’re in a relationship, it’s easy to say, ‘Great, I’ve got a weekend to myself,’ but when you think that might be every weekend, it’s a different story.”

The former This Morning power couple released a blunt statement last May as they announced their split, which said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

The Mirror have contacted Eamonn’s reps for comment.
