Despite co-parenting together, Helen revealed she and footballer ex Scott Sinclair, “don’t like each other very much”. Since their split, rumours were sparked Helen could be a part of David and Sian’s throuple

How did they become involved?

The actress was seen chatting to David, who she met on I’m A Celebrity back in 2012, and Sian back in May of this year. They caught up at a Heineken after-party following a boxing event as Helen sparkled in a black blazer and a pair of gold stilettos. They were watching KSI fight at Wembley, with Helen’s former Corrie co-star Beverley Callard also at the bout.

An onlooker told MailOnline: “After the boxing match, Helen was sat down in a quiet corner at the Heineken party and David marched past the crowd with Sian straight to Helen, who looked happy to see them and gave them both a hug. The couple were equally enamoured to be in her company. Their faces lit up seeing her. David was smiling away at Helen who had been turning heads all night in her stunning outfit.”

Hours later Helen took to her social media where she told her followers about her “fun” night. While sitting on her train, Helen took to her Instagram Stories where she said: “I’ve had such a fun time actually when the kids have gone away. They’re away with Scott and they’ve had the best time with all their cousins so I know they’re really happy. And obviously, Scott’s amazing with the kids, and his mum is, so I know they’re good.

“It’s been nice actually having my own time. I’ve made sure I’ve gone out with all my friends and I’ve had fun. I kind of feel like I did in my 20s, I acted like I was in my 30s in my 20s and I’m doing more of my own thing now. But I can’t wait to go home, I want to go for a run and do some detox and get some juices down me.”

A source close to Helen exclusively told the Sunday Mirror: “Helen reconnected with David earlier this year. They got on like a house on fire and have been messaging a lot since. Helen and Sian have also met and hit it off straight away. Helen’s a very open-minded person and all three got on well. Helen has had some difficult dating experiences since becoming single but is really enjoying David’s company.”

After 13 years with her ex Scott, Helen has hinted she is open to dating again. Discussing what led to their break-up, Helen said it would be impossible to pinpoint anything specific, but admitted she “struggled” with her mental health following the birth of her youngest child Charlie in 2021, which put a “strain” on the relationship at times.

She recently introduced the ‘Men of 2023’, as she shared she had saved the dates in her phone under nicknames including: “Too obsessed with their dog, ruined my mental health. My ghoster. Dead chat. Complicated X. Dead chat 2.” Helen even teased she had a man saved in her phone as “My One Night Stand.” She also told fans: “After 13 years of being wifed off, I’ve spent this year trying to find myself and start dating again. Let’s just say it’s been an experience… In conclusion, we’re hoping for a better 2024.”

While David started this year announcing he was in a relationship with both Sian and Una. She eventually called it quits back in February amid rumours that she and Sian had fought over David’s affections. Opening up about their time together on the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast, Una explained that reports of a throuple were inaccurate, stating: “Dating HIM is the right term because that’s how it was, it wasn’t a throuple. We had a lovely relationship.”

She added: “It was casual, it wasn’t serious. 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.”

In April, David and Sian were reportedly romantically involved with personal trainer and influencer Mica Jova while staying in Costa Rica. While in August, David shared a snap via Instagram that showed his ‘girls’ Sian and another woman named Dani posing at the Notting Hill Carnival.
