Meanwhile, Katie, 43, opted for a white ruffled gown with black polka dots.
Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a selection of snaps from the pair's sunny day out last week.
She captioned: "A Beautiful day with beautiful people at @ascotracecourse yesterday.
"Fantastic weather, albeit too hot which meant I had to drink more champagne! to stay hydrated!"
One of the sweet snaps showed Eamonn and Katie leaning in for a kiss.
Eamonn began his relationship with marriage counsellor Katie last year.
The Northern Irish broadcaster and ex-wife Ruth Langsford ended their 14-year marriage.
The former couple, who first began dating in 1996, share son Jack, who was born in 2002.
A source said previously: 'Eamonn and Ruth's relationship changed when they left This Morning.
"They started moving in different directions in their careers and their priorities started to change.

'Eamonn was desperate to return to Belfast, which he thinks of as home, but Ruth would never move.
"It became a bone of contention.
'As her ITV career continued, Eamonn went down another path and they became ships in the night.
'For the past two years they had led separate lives, professionally and personally.'
Earlier this month, Katie warned she "doesn't forget" in a candid message posted on her Instagram story.
Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here's how their romance played out...
1997 - The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 - To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: "I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less."
2002 - Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 - Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 - The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 - Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth's mother for her hand.
June 2010 - Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 - Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 - On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits "compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal," while Ruth said it was "laughter and an equal marriage".
November 2020 - Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in a 'show shake-up'.
December 2021 - After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 - Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 - Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 - Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 - Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 - Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 - Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a 'fierce' divorce lawyer.
She took to her account to admit 2024 had been "the year of hell" with "lies about me and death threats from people who have never met me."
She added: "Not only did my mental health suffer but also my childrens' did.
"One thing I don't do is forget.
"But a huge thank you to my friends and family who know me, and the truth, and have supported me through the past year."

Maya Jama reveals secret connection to Love Island boy that's never been mentioned in the villa
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island host Maya Jama has revealed a secret connection to one of the hunks in the villa. On last night's Aftersun, Maya surprised the audience and viewers at home when she shared she was already aware of a brooding bombshell before the latest series began. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Maya Jama revealed a secret link to a Love Island lad Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 She knows Shea through her brother, Omar Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The TV star told how model brother Omar runs in the same circles in Britsol as Shea Mannings, though added: "Oh no, I won't spill his tea. Let me skip back." So far, Shea has had no luck finding a suitable partner and many feel he lacks the personality to be a memorable villa star. However, last night, during a game of spin the bottle, Shea came to life when he was tasked with going around each Islander individually and telling them the word he'd use to describe them. Some of his choices were savage with calling Helena a "mug", Alima "hard work" and Toni a "b**ch". Shea's luck could be about to change though with the arrival of two new female bombshells. Blonde stunner Caprice Alexandra, who looks to be a travel bunny, has arrived in the villa. Her Instagram is filled with curvy bikini snaps from the likes of Mauritius and Morocco. She's joined by Poppy Harrison, who has set foot in the ITV2 show after calling time on her latest relationship last week. Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID A source told us: 'Poppy is super flirtatious on a night out and I could see her fitting in well with this year's cast. 'She is a fan of the show." Watch moment 4 bombshells arrive in Love Island villa as Helena makes u-turn They continued: "Her split came with her ex came out of the blue - her boyfriend wasn't expecting it at all. "She's a smart girl and is likely heading into the villa with a gameplan." Poppy boasts over 8,000 followers on Instagram, giving her fans a glimpse into her luxurious lifestyle. She can be seen skiing with influencer pal, Maddie Eastham, showing off her designer purchases and sunning herself in Cannes. 4 Omar and Maya appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox together Credit: Instagram

Katie Price reveals exactly how much she weighs after fan concerns over her skinny frame
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has revealed exactly how much she weighs following fan concerns over her skinny frame. Former glamour model Katie, 47, who first sparked worry over her shrinking appearance at the start of the year, hit out at critics on Snapchat as she zoomed in on a set of scales. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Katie Price has revealed exactly how much she weighs following fan concerns over her skinny frame Credit: Instagram 5 Her implant-free body is close to 7st 2lb Credit: Portsmouth Pride The TV personality, believed to be 5ft 4in tall, showed her weight as 7st 12lb. Katie had attempted to put fears to rest, saying in the video: "Everyone is so obsessed with my weight. This is what I weigh. That. That is what I weigh." But with the combined weight of her 2120cc breast implants removed - which are thought to weigh around 4.87lb each - her implant-free body is closer to 7st 2lb. That puts her BMI at 17.2, putting her below the healthy range and into the underweight category (below 18.5). It also nudges her dangerously close to being classed as moderately underweight, a sub-category defined by the World Health Organization as a BMI below 17. Katie has also confessed to having dermal filler injected into her face and bum, however the weight of these treatments are unknown in her case. The podcaster previously tried to shut down fears over her weight loss, saying she decided to slim down after a long-standing foot injury and attempts at IVF made her put on weight. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. Katie Price shows off biggest ever boob job in sheer lace crop top in Ibiza "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny. "But today where I have lost weight, I feel, my butt looks like a deflated balloon." Some fans have asked Katie whether she has taken popular weight loss jabs to shed the pounds - but the star, who has been open in the past about procedures she's gone through, has strongly denied it. 5 Katie had attempted to put fears to rest in a Snapchat video Credit: Snapchat 5 Katie is medically underweight - and dangerously close to being classed as moderately underweight Credit: PA

Tennis star told 'nobody likes you' in spat hits back at rival in four-word jibe
Tennis stars Yulia Putintseva and Maria Sakkari were engulfed in a furious war of words during their heated match at the Bad Homburg Open this week and the Kazakhstani has now continued the feud on social media Tennis star Yulia Putintseva has continued her war of words with rival Maria Sakkari after the Greek star told her "nobody likes you" during a heated clash at the Bad Homburg Open - as she accused her of being a hypocrite on social media. The pair exchanged insults during the third round match, which Sakkari won 7-5, 7-6, after giving each other a lukewarm handshake at the start. Sakkari later told Putintseva to "act like a human being", which led to an angry reaction from the Kazakhstani player - who told her to "go f*** yourself". After Sakkari followed Putintseva to her bench and appeared to say, "F***ing hell, I'm what?", she then followed it up by saying: "Nobody likes you!" Putintseva was beaten in straight sets and further irked Sakkari, who could be heard telling her to look into her eyes when shaking hands. Putintseva then decided to continue the conflict on Instagram as she posted a story showing Sakkari previously failing to make eye contact with opponents after games, including against Emma Raducanu. She wrote a caption that said: "And the plot thickens..." She also posted a message in a separate clarifying her actions on the court. She said: "By the way - not that I care - I shook her hand as most women do. Clearly not according to the 'hugging protocol' some men seem to follow." This is not the first time Putintseva has been involved in controversy during her tennis career. At the end of last year, she was slammed after footage circulated of her standing motionless while a ballgirl bounced two balls towards her during her defeat to Jasmine Paolini at the US Open. Putintseva apologised for her actions and said the video painted the wrong picture, adding: "It's kind of scary the way the world can judge someone from just a three second video, that someone posts from one side, without seeing the rest on what was really happening," "I was just playing tennis and lost a tough game, which was very close (in my opinion) to turn that match around. After the game (as you can see on a pic) I got very much disappointed and was almost crying, that I didn't do better. "At this time the girl was giving me the ball, which I didn't even notice or so, because I was deep in my thoughts… I was not trying to humiliate her (or anyone) by not taking this ball that she was giving to me. "I didn't do anything disrespectful to anyone at this particular moment. I do apologise, if this girl thinks that it was something towards her. (And btw her name is Kate, very nice girl, which understood that it was nothing towards her). "I can't say that I am perfect all my career. I am getting angry on court, p*****, saying stupid stuff and curse like no tomorrow sometimes. Guilty for that. But I did never put myself "on top" of someone. That's just not me at all."
