Una Healy has announced a huge new job as her I’m A Celebrity star ex David Haye continues to cause controversy – but what has she said about ‘their throuple’?

The Saturdays star, 44, was rumoured to have been in a three-way relationship with 45-year-old David in early 2023.

It came following her split with her rugby player husband Ben Foden. They broke up following reports Ben had been unfaithful.

During that time, Una was pictured cosying up to David and his long-term partner, Sian Osborne, in Costa Rica.

That snap in particular appeared to be the confirmation the world needed that they were in a ‘throuple’.

So what really went on. Was Una in a ‘throuple’ with David and Sian. Here’s what she has said.

Una Healy and David Haye’s relationship timeline

The rumours about Una, David and Sian being in a ‘throuple’ began at New Year in 2023. Una took to Instagram and posted a picture of herself sat around a dinner table with David and Sian.

The trio were in Morocco at the time and, as David held Una’s hand, he linked arms with Sian on the other side.

Una told her followers: “I’ve started 2023 in a comfortable place, feeling genuinely happy and at peace. Here’s to this year being ours x.”

Whispers went wild about what Una was announcing. In the coming weeks, she was spotted with David on multiple occasions, adding fuel to the fire.

The picture everyone was waiting for came in February 2023. It showed Una and Sian cosying up to David on the beach in Costa Rica. It appeared to be the confirmation fans needed.

By March, however, Una announced she was single. All trace of David was removed from her social media.

Una also told the Irish Mirror: “I am single and raising my two children, just like many other single parents – both men and women – doing a great job.”

What has Una said about her relationship with David?

The following year, Una spoke about her relationship with David for the first time. But she told Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally’s podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, that it was never a ‘throuple’.

Una said she first met David on the celebrity dating app Raya. He told her he was single but that he “didn’t believe the traditional relationship exists anymore”.

Una admitted she was hesitant at first, but ended up going on a few dates with him.

“It was casual, it wasn’t serious,” she said. “I was happy enough with it. It was in a romantic capacity.

“He was very honest that I wasn’t the only woman he was seeing, I was very aware he was seeing other people.

“I knew he was being honest and it’s not like I was being cheated on. I knew he wasn’t husband material, just a bit of fun and I was enjoying it.”

Ruling out the throuple claims, she explained: “He doesn’t label, he’s never called her his girlfriend, he’s open, polyamorous.

“So I did meet [Sian] and she was a really nice girl but there was nothing going on there so it wasn’t a throuple. I wasn’t romantic with her, I don’t really know her.”

Una lands new job while ex David is on I’m A Celebrity

David has certainly been raising eyebrows while on I’m A Celebrity South Africa. Earlier this week, he hit the headlines for his outrageous views on “ugly birds”. 

Una, meanwhile, has shrugged it off and not even mentioned her ex online. Instead, she has announced a brand new partnership with make-up giant No7.

Una declared: “So honoured to be brand ambassador for @boots.ireland new No7 ‘Prime Forever’ skincare range. I’ve been using the full range for a few weeks now and my skin is honestly in the best condition it’s been in a long time!”

Interestingly, one of the hundreds of people congratulating Una in the comments is one of David’s other rumoured exes, Helen Flanagan.

Helen simply told Una: “So beautiful always x.”
