Eamonn Holmes, 64, arrives home with girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42, as they touch down at Heathrow...

Eamonn Holmes returned to the UK on Sunday alongside his girlfriend, Katie Alexander, following a week spent enjoying a lavish vacation together.

The 64-year-old GB News host and the 42-year-old relationship therapist arrived at Heathrow Airport after traveling to Barcelona and enjoying a romantic cruise.

The trip reportedly took Eamonn's ex-wife, Ruth Langsford, by surprise. This vacation came just four months after the couple publicly revealed their decision to divorce after being married for 14 years.

Eamonn and Katie didn't hold back when it came to displaying their new relationship. The couple was seen showing affection for each other while on their trip.

On Friday night, the broadcaster was playfully seen giving her backside a playful tap as they set off for a night out in Ibiza.

The 64-year-old GB News host and the 42-year-old relationship advisor landed at Heathrow airport after traveling to Barcelona and setting off on a romantic cruise.

The trip apparently took Eamonn's estranged wife, Ruth Langsford, 64, by surprise, especially since it happened only four months after the former celebrity couple revealed they were ending their 14-year marriage (as seen in a photo from 2018).

In comparison, Eamonn appeared a bit fatigued from their vacation as they reached Heathrow, sitting in a self-driving electric wheelchair due to his severe back issues.

He looked relaxed in a navy blue jacket and jeans, paired with coordinating slip-on shoes, while resting his backpack on his legs.

The Northern Irish host seized the moment to check his phone after arriving and was spotted still wearing his wedding band.

Katie appeared to be in high spirits as she smiled brightly while strolling ahead of her new boyfriend, with an airport staff member handling their luggage.

She showcased a casually chic look for her flight, wearing white pants and a black top with a deep neckline, complemented by a red sweater casually thrown over her shoulders.

She completed her outfit with black open-toed slides and a stylish leather bag. Her hair was styled in loose waves, and she accentuated her eyes with bold smoky eyeshadow.

Eamonn has been candid about his new romance with the blonde beauty, and the couple has been spotted on two vacations together during the summer.

A source revealed to MailOnline that Ruth was caught off guard by how candid her estranged husband was about his new relationship.

A source revealed, "Ruth is taken aback by how candid Eamonn is being regarding his relationship, especially since they are both still wearing their wedding rings."

Explaining why the separated couple hasn't taken off their rings, they mentioned: "Neither of them wants to be the one to remove it first because they don’t want to seem like they're at fault for the breakup."

On the other hand, people say that Eamonn is completely captivated by his new partner.

Regarding the presenter and Katie's vacation plans, the insider revealed, "They both enjoy cruising and feel a sense of freedom while they’re on the ship to truly be themselves. They are completely taken with each other."

When contacted by MailOnline, Ruth's team chose not to provide a comment, and Eamonn's team did not reply to the request for a statement.

The vacation follows Katie's rejection of rumors that she plans to move in with the television presenter.

The couple was said to be searching for a home together just four months into their new relationship.

Speculation began when a source revealed to The Sun, "Katie has promised him that she’s committed for the long term, and they are both starting to settle down well."

They’ve been spending so much time at his apartment in Kingston that they are considering making their living arrangement permanent.

This isn't the couple's first journey together this month. Eamonn recently brought his girlfriend Katie to explore his hometown of Belfast, sparking discussions about their commitment to a long-term relationship.

According to previous reports from MailOnline, Eamonn is reportedly infatuated with Katie, and their relationship has progressed significantly.

Friends mentioned that they are now spending most weekends together at his apartment in Richmond since his marriage to Ruth came to an end.

Eamonn and Katie are contemplating the right time to share their relationship with the public, and reportedly, they have received lucrative offers for the first official photos of them as a couple.

According to a source, "They've received a good sum for the initial photos of them as a couple."

They added, "Katie and Eamonn are clearly committed for the long run. She expresses her love for him, and he feels the same way about her."

According to a source who spoke to MailOnline, Ruth was caught off guard by how candid her estranged husband was regarding his new relationship (as seen in the photo from last month).

Their friendship deepened after he left the home he shared with Ruth, following her heartbreaking discovery of messages exchanged between him and an unknown woman.

In May, it was reported that Ruth and Eamonn were going through a divorce because their professional obligations had caused their marriage to drift apart.

A representative for the couple stated, "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have announced that their marriage has ended, and they are currently undergoing the divorce process."

Eamonn and Ruth, who got married in 2010 after being together for 13 years, are committed to remaining friends and maintaining a friendly relationship.
