Eamonn Holmes<\/a> and his girlfriend Katie Alexander made their red carpet debut together on Saturday after it was revealed the honeymoon phase of their relationship had come to an end.<\/p>\n

The age gap couple were all smiles as they on the carpet for the Icon Awards, which took place at the Troxy in the east end of London.<\/p>\n

Eamonn, 65, who has been plagued with health issues in recent years after spinal surgery in 2022, used an electric wheelchair at the venue.<\/p>\n

He looked dapper in a black suit with a white polka dot tie for the lavish night out, where he scooped the lifetime achievement gong.<\/p>\n

Standing proudly beside him was girlfriend Katie, 43, who wore a tailored black blazer with rolled-up sleeves.<\/p>\n

The marriage counsellor completed her look with a floor-length skirt that was sheer at the bottom and a black scarf that was wrapped around her neck.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The age gap couple were all smiles as they walked the carpet for the Icon Awards, which took place at the Troxy in the east end of London<\/p>\n

Another snap of the couple at their table showed Eamonn beaming for the cameras as he stuck to water for the event.<\/p>\n

Other stars snapped included Lizzie Cundy, Denise Welch and actor Tamer Hassan.<\/p>\n

There was also a rare appearance from Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle who was all smiles on the red carpet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eamonn and Katie’s outing comes after the Daily Mail revealed how real life has kicked in for the pair<\/a>, who have previously enjoyed lavish holidays including a cruise around the\u00a0Mediterranean.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One friend suggested their romance is ‘struggling’ to Consultant Editor Katie Kind, saying: ‘Let’s just say the honeymoon period looks like it is very much at its end.’<\/p>\n

They continued: ‘He’s grumpier than ever and his health problems [he has chronic back pain] really aren’t helping but, instead of moving closer to Katie and settling, he’s spending more time with his family in Belfast, often without her.<\/p>\n

‘The lavish gifts and the swanky holidays don’t seem to have made him any happier<\/p>\n

That sentiment was echoed by some of Eamonn’s colleagues at GB News, who describe him as ‘very, very moany’ \u2013 with one saying he’s ‘a miserable goat even on a good day’.<\/p>\n

\"During <\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Eamonn proudly smiled after he was honoured with the lifetime achievement award<\/p>\n

‘He goes into GB News in the morning, and he moans and moans,’ the colleague said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It seems to be fizzling out for him. He is very low \u2013 the only thing that cheers him is going to work, he loves working.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daily Mail previously exclusively revealed that the broadcaster and father-of-four had had a terrible falling-out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle.<\/p>\n

And more devastatingly, Niall has sided with his stepmother Ruth over his own father, following the couple\u2019s split.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also understood that Jack, 23, the son Eamonn and Ruth have together, has sided with his mother.<\/p>\n

Eamonn is also father to son Declan, 36, and daughter Rebecca, 34, from his first marriage, and is believed to still be close with both of them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ruth and Eamonn announced a year ago that they were to\u00a0part divorce after 27 years as a couple, and 14 years of marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Loose <\/p>\n

Loose Women panelist Denise Welch stunned in an all black attire for the glitzy bash in East London on Saturday night<\/p>\n

\"Television <\/p>\n

Television presenter Vanessa Feltz grabbed attention in her eye-catching pink sheer frock<\/p>\n

\"Britain's <\/p>\n

Britain’s Got Talent legend Susan Boyle also made a rare red carpet appearance for the event<\/p>\n

It was previously reported Eamonn and Katie were first in touch 12 years ago, when it\u2019s claimed they exchanged flirty messages.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s suggested that, in the year before their split, Ruth learned Eamonn had been showering Katie with gifts.<\/p>\n

However, both Eamonn and Katie, who was also married, insist nothing went on until both their marriages ended.<\/p>\n

The fact they are still together is said to have \u2018gone down like a lead balloon\u2019 with Eamonn\u2019s family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eamonn Holmes and his girlfriend Katie Alexander made their red carpet debut together on Saturday after it was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[539,17376,93,61,60,99,1489],"class_list":{"0":"post-34244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-eamonn-holmes","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-tvshowbiz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
