David Haye's 'Throuple' Rumours Spark I'm A Celebrity Chatter
David Haye, the retired boxer and current I'm A Celebrity contestant, has found his personal life under intense scrutiny as rumours of a 'throuple' with long-term girlfriend Sian Osborne dominate discussions. The 45-year-old athlete, who went public with model Sian in 2020, has seen their relationship become a focal point for millions of viewers, with speculation swirling around their consensual non-monogamous arrangement.
Understanding Ethical Non-Monogamy and Public Perception
Ethical non-monogamy (ENM), where individuals engage in multiple romantic or sexual relationships with full consent from all parties, has gained visibility in recent years. Dating apps like Feeld cater specifically to this community, while platforms such as Tinder and Hinge allow users to openly state their relationship preferences. Despite this growing acceptance, David has remained notably silent on the topic during his jungle stint, leaving his campmates to fill the void with gossip.
In a recent episode, Gemma Collins couldn't resist referencing the headlines, telling Adam Thomas, "Honey, it's everywhere in the press! He's in a permanent throuple, the geezer." The show's hosts, Ant and Dec, also joined in, with Dec joking, "Tell you what, it must be busy round David Haye's house – him and his two girlfriends," and Ant adding, "Don't forget that bloke in his bedroom as well – every night he shouts in the microphone, 'Let's get ready to throuple!'"
Una Healy and Helen Flanagan Weigh In on the Rumours
The speculation intensified in 2023 when Una Healy, former singer of The Saturdays, joined David and Sian on a trip to Costa Rica. Instagram photos from the holiday fuelled throuple rumours, with David later posting a Valentine's Day tribute to both women, calling them his 'queens'. However, Una later clarified on the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast, stating, "Dating him is the right term because that's how it was, it wasn't a throuple. We had a lovely relationship. It was casual, it wasn't serious." She admitted to having to Google the term 'throuple', emphasising that she barely knew Sian.
That same year, David was also linked to Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, whom he met during his first I'm A Celebrity appearance in 2012. Their fling ended in December 2023, with Helen later revealing on Celebs Go Dating in 2024 that David was in an open relationship with Sian at the time. She recalled, "He had a girlfriend and an open relationship. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I did. We did have this amazing connection together – we were like fire." Helen denied being part of a throuple, expressing guilt over the situation and stating she wouldn't have tolerated watching David with another woman.
The Broader Context of Modern Relationships
This saga highlights how public figures navigate evolving relationship norms in the digital age. While David Haye's private life remains largely unconfirmed, the discussions on I'm A Celebrity reflect a broader cultural curiosity about non-traditional partnerships. As ethical non-monogamy becomes more mainstream, stories like this challenge conventional perceptions of romance and commitment, sparking debates both in the jungle and beyond.
Ultimately, despite the rumours and gossip, the full truth of David Haye's relationships may remain known only to those directly involved. Yet, the fascination with his love life continues to captivate audiences, proving that in the world of celebrity, personal boundaries are often blurred by public intrigue.
