Una Healy shuts down rumoured throuple romance on Vogue's podcast

Una Healy has admitted she was romantically linked to boxer David Haye earlier this year- but denies she was actively part of a throuple with him and girlfriend Sian Osborne.

The former 'Saturdays' singer made headlines last year after the trio went on holidays to Morocco together. David uploaded a photo on Instagram, captioned with the intriguing line "If a picture says a thousand words, then this one says exactly what it needs to."

He further fuelled suspicions of a three-way romance with a picture of himself with Sian and Una for Valentine's Day, in which he described them as the ' beautiful queens' in his life. However, Una has insisted on a new episode of 'My Therapist Ghosted Me' there was no romantic connection between herself and Sian over the course of the relationship.

She told podcast hosts Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally: "There was no dynamic between myself and Sian. He was just boyfriend to us both. He thought it was very important that we met each other and he kept saying she really wants to see me too. If we’re all pictured together, at least we’re a happy family- there’s nothing sinister going on."

Una revealed that she first met David on the exclusive dating app Raya. He had split from Sian when they first met but was very forthcoming about not wanting a monogamous relationship, an honest assessment which she found attractive.

Una said she never subscribed to the concept of a throuple. She admitted that the trio's holiday in Morocco made her realise that she was seeking a different connection than what David had in mind.

She said: "I remember sitting on the plane over to Morocco. I got the window seat and he was sitting in the middle. He had one hand on my leg and one on hers. I remember looking at him and asking, 'What am I doing?' and he responded that I was having a mid-life crisis."

She called it quits after returning to Ireland, although she did repost a Valentine's Day tribute he made to her via Instagram stories. David told her she had "unsubscribed" from the team but that he took the news well in general.

The 41-year-old said the heavy coverage of the so-called 'throuple' proved incredibly challenging. Her concern was her children as the rumours mounted, especially following her painful split from ex-husband Ben Foden.

Una said: "I went back to being a hermit in Thurles and became this throuple that existed in print but in reality was not a thing. Luckily there were no remarks made in my hometown but I’ve hated the first half of this year and I haven’t been able to enjoy it."

The boxer has since been snapped with Sian and another woman, who could likely be a new addition to the team. She denied claims that David and Sian presented themselves as a couple looking for a third on Raya on the podcast.

The singer is currently focused on new projects in the aftermath of intense media scrutiny in recent months. She is releasing a new single on June 1, aptly named 'Walk Away.'
