Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford are reportedly trying to finalise their divorce quickly in the New Year.

The GB News presenter, 65, and Loose Women panellist, 64, announced their plans to divorce in June after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together.

Eamonn has since been dating counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, since his split from Ruth and has reportedly spoken openly of his hopes to tie the knot.

And now it has been revealed that Eamonn and Ruth are hoping to settle their divorce imminently – with Ruth to keep their £3.5million Surrey mansion

‘The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as quickly as possible in the New Year,’ a source told The Sun.

‘Ruth is keen to stay in their marital home as it is where she is settled, Eamonn on the other hand wants to get out and make a fresh start.

‘They aren’t dragging their heels and want this settled and done as quickly as possible.’

MailOnline has contacted Eamonn’s representatives for comment.

It comes hours after Eamonn sparked speculation he is engaged to Katie after she was spotted wearing a large ring on her engagement finger during a romantic getaway to Paris last week.

‘Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her,’ a source told The Sun.

‘They’re already living together and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well.

‘She has given him a real lust for life and she looks after him.’

In pictures obtained by the publication, the couple headed to the Louvre, with Katie wearing a gold diamond ring on her engagement finger.

The counsellor was not pictured wearing the band at a Christmas carol concert in West London on December 5.

Eamonn and Loose Women star Ruth announced their plans to divorce in June after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together

Katie has reportedly told friends she is in for ‘the long haul’ with the GB News host.

She has been helping Eamonn through the split from Ruth, with the couple heading on holiday together in recent months.

But her friends say she is at pains to point out that their friendship has only grown close once the marriage was over in May.

An onlooker said at the time: ‘Katie certainly seems to be able to put a smile back on Eamonn’s face. They seem genuinely besotted with each other.’

The getaway reportedly left Eamonn’s estranged wife Ruth shocked, with the Ibiza holiday occurring just four months after the former golden couple announced they were divorcing.

It was reported last month Ruth has hired a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer amid the bitter split.

As reported by The Sun, Catherine Costley has been called up by Loose Women host Ruth who seeks to end her 14-year marriage to Eamonn with a financial settlement.

Ms Costley is known for her fierce approach to divorce settlements and has said all women should have a ‘go bag’ fund when exiting a relationship, according to The Sun.

The divorce lawyer was once an apprentice of ‘Steel Magnolia’ Baroness Fiona Shackleton, Britain’s highest-profile divorce lawyer who famously represented Charles in his split from Diana in 1996.

Baroness Shackleton has also worked with A-list stars including Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher and Madonna.

She was once doused with water in court by a furious Heather Mills while representing the Beatles legend during the couple’s divorce in 2008.
