The ex-husband of A Place in the Sun star Laura Hamilton is in a new relationship with a stunning PR executive, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his former wife Laura, 44, split from husband Alex, 45, with whom she has children Rocco, 12, and Tahlia, 10, in 2022 after a decade of marriage. Pictured in 2018 Becky, who runs London-based PR agency Knowles Communications Ltd, uploaded the snaps to her Instagram with the simple caption, ‘Us’, followed by a love heart before Alex reposted them to his Instagram story.As well as boasting similar looks, Alex’s new girlfriend, 44, and his ex Laura have work in common. Laura also tried her hand at runnin a talent management agency when she launched Evoque Management in 2020 in the hope of bagging a host of fellow celebs and taking a slice of their earnings for masterminding their careers.But she closed down her agency after she failed to snare any big-name clients.Laura married insurance broker Alex in 2012 – three years after they started dating. They share two children together, Rocco and a daughter Tahlia.But in an interview with Hello! magazine shortly after their separation, Laura admitted that she and Alex were on ‘different paths’.’There have been times I have been so overwhelmed with sadness,’ she confessed.’It was a chapter of my life that I am now closing, and I have so many happy memories.’I am very much someone who believes in focusing on the future, not having regrets, and I want to be positive for my children.’ Alex has now also moved on, and has been dating PR guru Becky Knowles for several months, posting Instagram photos of the pair enjoying a date night this weekShe added: ‘It was a decision we both came to. We have an enormous amount of respect for each other, but we are now on different paths.’At the point it was announced, we’d already overcome a lot of difficult times.’But I am lucky that we have the relationship and respect for each other that we have, and our children’s happiness will always be our priority.’The presenter, who co-parents with her ex, revealed she plans her filming schedule around when her children are with their dad, using that time to focus fully on work. But Laura has also been targeted by online trolls who accuse her of neglecting her children while she films abroad.She recently dismissed the criticism, insisting social media never shows the full story.She told The Mirror of comments about coparenting: ‘I really don’t like it when people comment and go, ”Oh, it’s sad for the children!”’Why is it sad for children? Actually, it is brilliant for the child that they get to spend time with both parents – and that both parents are happier!’ In one photo, he has his hand on Becky’s leg who is sat on a stool posing with a drink dressed in a short black skirt and heels. A second photo shows them cuddled up in a boothExplaining that people make judgements from what they see online, she said: ‘People say, “She’s always away, she’s not with her kids.”‘ ‘People have no idea. One: I don’t even share my social posts always in real time, and two: just because I don’t always post everything that I’m doing with my kids doesn’t mean I’m not with them.’ The TV star, who joined A Place in the Sun in 2012, said she hopes to inspire her daughter to believe she can balance family life and a successful career. Laura first joined the Channel 4 show 14 years ago after working behind the scenes on programmes including Top of the Pops and Big Brother.She remains one of its most recognisable faces and said she still feels ‘honoured’ to be part of the long-running series, which marked its 25th anniversary last year.
