The heavyweight champ – who has been linked to Helen Flanagan and Una Healy – is non-monogamous which is when someone has multiple romantic and sexual relationships, with the consent of a partner or spouse
I’m A Celeb star David Haye is known for his British heavyweight boxing career but his colourful love life has continued to dominate the headlines over recent years.
The one-time heavyweight champion is non-monogamous which is when someone has multiple romantic and sexual relationships, with the consent of a partner or spouse. According to one ex, “one woman will never be enough” for him.
He has been in a relationship with model Sian Osborne since 2020, but over recent years he’s also been linked to Saturdays singer Una Healy. According to sources, the couple used the exclusive dating app Raya to specifically look for a third person to join their relationship.

Their profile reportedly made it clear they were a “packaged deal,” seeking a woman who could fit into their established ‘throuple’ dynamic.
After hitting it off years earlier during their first stint on I’m a Celebrity back in 2012, Helen Flanagan was romantically involved with the retired boxer throughout 2023 before their split in December that year.
Speculation swirled that she formed a “throuple” with David and his girlfriend Sian, but she has firmly dismissed this. But during a chat on Celebs Go Dating, the Corrie star spoke about Haye and the baggage that comes with dating the gold medal-winning former fighter.
Helen became emotional as she revealed they had once been an item, but struggled with the thought of not being the only woman in his life. “I’d known him for 10 years,” Helen said on the show.
“We did a reality show together. I remember the first time seeing him in the jungle, I was like ‘wow.’ It was quite something – it’s really hard for me to talk about.
“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. It was weird – I think he does love his girlfriend, and he loves me as well. It just brings me to a part in my life that was quite dark.”
After being quizzed about claims she was in a throuple, she said: “No [it wasn’t]. I was in love with him. I wouldn’t have enjoyed watching the man I was in love with have sex with another woman; that’s not for me.
“I had communication with his girlfriend, but I felt very guilty. I didn’t feel nice about it all. It really upsets me because I don’t mean to hurt other people, but I was just really lonely. I found it really difficult because it just happened. It’s not nice to another girl, and I should’ve known better.”
Helen opened up again whilst promoting her recent memoir, Head and Heart. “The relationship that I had with David was just David on his own,” the actress explained. “My evenings were just spent with him, that’s what only ever happened.” At the start of 2023, fans were intrigued to see Saturdays singer Una Healy holidaying with David and Sian.
David and Sian had been on holiday since early January, with Una joining them for a short visit while lapping up the sunshine in Costa Rica. Fans noticed that David was holding hands with both ladies in an image shared on social media.
Former boxer David appeared to confirm the polyamorous relationship in a Valentine’s Day post on Instagram, in which he paid tribute to the “queens in my life”.
He also said he preferred to keep his “private life private”, adding: “What I do behind closed doors is between me and the girls involved.’
But in March that year, Una insisted she was single. A few months later, mum-of-two Una admitted she had been in a relationship with David, but felt “hoodwinked” into the situation, insisting she and Sian were never involved romantically with one another.
She said: “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.”
Speaking about Sian, Una added: “There’s no dynamic there – she’s not my girlfriend – he’s both our boyfriend and I just thought, ‘I’m out, you can have him.’ He can have whoever he wants because one [woman] will never be enough for him.”
But things took a messy turn when model Sian took to social media to make a brutal swipe against Una’s claims. She posted multiple pics of the trio enjoying a theatre performance before enjoying London’s Winter Wonderland.
Alongside the snaps, she said: “Hoodwink: verb to deceive or trick someone. A liar weaves a tangled web, trapping themselves in a labyrinth of deceit. When we embrace truth, we align ourselves with the harmonious order of the universe.”
“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,” Una explained on the My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast.
She claimed David had reconnected with Sian while they were casually dating, and wanted them to meet. While initially resistant to the idea, she eventually relented for fear of being accused of having an affair with David behind Sian’s back.
Una said she soon realised that life in a throuple wasn’t for her, and broke things off with the ex-sportsman while insisting they left things on good terms.
