Laura Hamilton’s former husband, Alex Goward, has gone public with a new relationship, introducing his girlfriend on social media more than three years after the couple ended their decade-long marriage.

The insurance broker, 45, is now dating London-based public relations executive Becky Knowles, and the pair recently made their romance Instagram official by sharing affectionate photos from a date night.

The relationship has attracted attention not only because it marks a new chapter for Goward but also because fans have pointed out the remarkable resemblance between Knowles and his ex-wife, A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton.

Hamilton, 44, and Goward announced their separation in early 2022 after nearly 10 years of marriage.

The former couple share two children—12-year-old son Rocco and 10-year-old daughter Tahlia—and have consistently emphasized their commitment to co-parenting despite the end of their relationship.

The new romance became public after Becky Knowles posted two intimate photographs of herself and Goward enjoying an evening together.

In one image, Goward is seen placing his hand on Knowles’ leg as she poses with a drink while wearing a black skirt and heels.

Another photograph shows the couple embracing while seated together in a restaurant booth.

Knowles, founder and director of the London-based communications firm Knowles Communications Ltd, captioned the post simply: “Us” alongside a heart emoji.

Goward later reshared the images on his own Instagram Stories, signaling that the couple is comfortable making their relationship public.

According to multiple reports, the pair have been dating for several months.

The relationship has sparked discussion online, with many social media users noting that Knowles shares several physical similarities with Hamilton, including blonde hair, facial features and an elegant style.

Interestingly, the similarities between Hamilton and Knowles extend beyond appearance.

Both women have built careers in media-related industries.

While Knowles has established herself in public relations, Hamilton previously ventured into talent management by launching Evoque Management in 2020.

The agency was designed to represent television personalities and celebrities, though it ultimately closed after struggling to secure major clients.

Hamilton has since remained focused on her television career, property projects, travel ventures and various business interests.

Hamilton married insurance broker Alex Goward in 2012 after the couple had dated for around three years.

Throughout their marriage, they became parents to two children while Hamilton’s television career continued to grow through her work on Channel 4’s long-running property series A Place in the Sun.

However, like many couples, they reportedly faced increasing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Several reports suggested that extended lockdowns placed additional pressure on their relationship, eventually leading them to realize they wanted different futures.

Following their separation announcement in 2022, Hamilton later reflected openly on the emotional impact of ending the marriage.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine at the time, she admitted that the breakup had been incredibly difficult.

“There have been times I have been so overwhelmed with sadness,” she said, describing the end of the relationship as the closing of an important chapter while emphasizing that she still cherished many happy memories from their years together.

Hamilton also stressed that the separation was a mutual decision and said the former couple continued to have enormous respect for one another.

She explained that despite taking different paths in life, their children’s happiness would always remain their highest priority.

Since their divorce, Hamilton has spoken frequently about the importance of maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship.

The television presenter has explained that she carefully schedules filming commitments around the time her children spend with their father, allowing her to devote uninterrupted time both to work and family life.

In recent interviews, she has challenged criticism from online users who have questioned her frequent travel for filming.

Hamilton has argued that social media offers only a small glimpse into her daily life and doesn’t accurately reflect how much time she spends with her children.

Responding to criticism, she said people often assume she is away from home constantly because of photographs posted online.

However, she explained that many of her social media updates are shared after trips have ended and that she intentionally keeps much of her family life private.

The presenter also rejected suggestions that children suffer when parents separate.

Instead, she has said that children can benefit from spending meaningful time with both parents, particularly when both parents are happier following the end of an unhappy relationship.

Her comments have resonated with many parents navigating similar family arrangements.

Despite major personal changes over recent years, Hamilton remains one of the best-known faces on A Place in the Sun.

She joined the popular Channel 4 property series in 2012 after previously working behind the scenes on entertainment programmes including Top of the Pops and Big Brother before transitioning into presenting.

The show celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, and Hamilton has said she still feels honored to be part of one of British television’s longest-running daytime programs.

Alongside television work, she has developed a strong following through property renovation projects, travel content and business ventures, frequently documenting home transformations and overseas filming assignments on social media.

While Hamilton has occasionally been linked romantically to businessman James Pettigrew following her divorce, she has largely kept her private life away from public attention.

Now, Goward’s new relationship with Becky Knowles signals that both former spouses have entered new chapters following the breakdown of their marriage.

Although public interest continues to surround their personal lives, both Hamilton and Goward have consistently demonstrated a shared commitment to respectful co-parenting and maintaining stability for their children.

As fans continue to follow Hamilton’s successful television career and Goward embraces a new relationship, the former couple appear focused on moving forward while preserving the mutual respect they have repeatedly spoken about since their separation.
