Away from the chaos of live TV, Alex relaxes in his stunning home in Bristol which he shares with his son Cruz, 12, and dog Peaches.
And it seems when he's not arguing with Piers Morgan, presenting the weather, or appearing on talent shows like All Star Musical he's busy getting his body in shape at his home gym, or posing for selfies in his stunning home.
The star can be seen looking smart in one snap, wearing a grey suit jacket and standing alongside a grey-themed corridor and interior.
On the wall are black, white and grey framed pictures complementing the grey hues entering the kitchen area, with a modern lamp fitting hanging from the ceiling.
The bedroom area where he is seen relaxing with son Cruz features a grey velvet bedhead, with a dark grey and silver lamp with beige and neutral bed linen in the minimalistic area with a blue velvet bed base.
Floor to ceiling mirrors feature in the room creating more visual space.
The Bristol garden is surrounded by greenery and trees overlooking the outer area.
It features a hanging swing chair, a perfect Astro turf lawn with white plant beds surrounding the grass with planted palms and blue slouchy chairs for catching some rays and relaxing in.
The bedroom features a grey carpet, with a white chest of drawers, a small pink wooden stall, white shutters and more modern plants.
Modern fixtures and fittings are seen in the grey and white chic kitchen with a huge clock on the wall in gold and black.
The spotless area is the perfect place for one of his buff selfies.
The handsome weatherman can also be seen snuggling up to his pooch on the brown leather sofa wearing a cosy dressing gown.
The Good Morning Britain weatherman and 29-year-old McKay have been dating since August 2020 after a mutual friend set them up on a blind date.
Beresford told Hello! magazine: "I'd been on my own for a while and was ready for a new relationship. But I was adamant I didn't want to try a dating website.
"I'm of an age where before social media, you met a girl, took her phone number and called to invite her out."
He explained that he asked a friend if she knew anyone he would get on with, to which she replied: "I do - but she's way too good for you".
The presenter said he laughed along and told her "She's the one that I want!"
Reflecting on the beginning of their relationship, he said: "We hit it off from the start.
"We talked every day about our shared values and goals, and our love for our families. We've always been on the same page."
McKay grew up in Australia and works in e-commerce operations for a top London restaurant.
She revealed that she had never seen Beresford on television before meeting him and refrained from looking him up beforehand as she wanted to find out for herself what he was like.
Recalling their first date in Bristol, where Beresford lives, she said: "When we met, it felt as if we'd known each other for ages. Holding hands and laughing together just came naturally."
The couple have since had a long-distance relationship moving between Bristol and London before their engagement.
Beresford described the "amazing moment" when he popped the question to McKay while they were walking along the beach in Majorica.
He said: "The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was crystal clear. 'This is it,' I thought.
"Imogen's not one for taking photos, but as I persuaded her to pose for a picture overlooking the sea, I kneeled down to take the engagement ring I'd hidden inside my rucksack.
"When she turned around, I was on one knee, and asked her the biggest question of my life - and she said yes. It was an amazing moment."
The couple plan to return to Majorca for their wedding in September, which will have around 100 guests to help them celebrate their big day.
Beresford's 12-year-old son Cruz, from his previous marriage with Natalia Natkaniec, will act as ring bearer and best man.

Alex said two years ago he "never imagined" he'd be single as he approached 40 years old in an interview for the Britain Get Talking podcast.
In the chat, the star spoke to newsreader Kylie Pentelow, who asked if he was looking for love.
The GMB favourite who had split from Natasha a year before replied: "It's been a massive learning curve, I didn't think at the age of 20 that when I was approaching 40, I would be in this situation.
"The age of 40, you'll be married, you'll be a grown up, you'll have a kid or two, your life is going to be set. I'm not old, I don't feel old, it's a bit daunting.
"But we've been in lockdown, so even if I wanted to go on a date, I couldn't go on a date.
"I don't want to grow old on my own, life is for sharing and it'd be great to meet someone in the future but they have to be right for me, right for Cruz."
Alex explained they decided to part ways but lived together until the start of 2020.
"I'm not a quitter, and I hate quitting things," he added.
"We tried to work through things, but at some point you realise the best thing to do for everybody is walk away, but walking away is never easy."
He continued: "We were in the same house up until the beginning of this year, knowing that we were parting ways, it takes a while to figure things out. One thing I didn't want to do is rush things.
"By being in that house, knowing we weren't together, we started to get on better - it removed a lot of the stress and expectation that a relationship can bring."
