Una Healy has addressed reports she was in a 'throuple' with David Haye for the first time, claiming she had to 'Google' the term that left her 'in bits'. The Saturdays star, 41, was said to have been in a three-way relationship with the boxer, 42, and model Sian Osborne.
Rumours about the trio's relationship were fuelled when David shared a cosy snap with his arms around bikini-clad Una, 41, and Sian, 35, on New Year's while on holiday in Morroco. And while Una remained tight-lipped on the relationship, David made it no secret the trio were romantically involved, including gushing about them on Valentine's Day.
Now though, Una has broken her silence on the relationship, insisting she was never part of a "throuple" and has said she was only dating David - who was simultaneously dating Sian - after connecting on the celebrity dating app, Raya.

"Dating HIM is the right term because that's how it was, it wasn't a throuple. We had a lovely relationship," mum of two Una explained to Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally on their My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast.
After coming across his dating profile, the pair had agreed to just be friends because Una was concerned by his past. However, the pair soon started texting every day and grew closer. "It was casual, it wasn't serious," Una admitted. "I was happy enough with it. It was in a romantic capacity."
But when comments about a 'throuple' emerged, Una, who shares son Tadhg, seven, and daughter Aoife Bell, 10, with her ex-husband Ben Foden, she had to Google the term because she'd never heard of it but was being 'trolled to death' on her social media. Asked by podcast host Joanne if the 'throuple' was a narrative being pushed by David, Una mused: "I think he was very happy about it but I was in bits about it."
At one point, Una recalls saying to David: "I said to him, "what am I doing?" and he goes "you're having a midlife crisis but don't worry so am I!" and I thought "she's [Sian's] not because she's 10 years younger!"
After explaining to David that she could no longer date him, Una noted "he's just living his truth, his authentic self." And although their relationship had ended in January, David shocked her by paying tribute to her on Valentine's Day.
Una also revealed that she harbours no bad feelings towards David and that while she doesn't talk to Sian, she still keeps in contact with the former sportsman. "I really enjoyed my relationship with him," she confessed. "He was very kind to me and very honest but it ran its course and I've been single ever since."
