Gethin Jones is no stranger to our screens, from his early days on Blue Peter to his current role as a Morning Live presenter. But while we’ve watched his career soar, many of us are curious about the most important part of his life—his love life.
Is Gethin, 48, still searching for love? Has he ever been married? And who has he dated along the way? Here’s a full breakdown of the highs, lows, and everything in between in Gethin’s romantic journey.
Gethin Jones’ Heartbreaking Engagement to Katherine Jenkins
Though Gethin has never been married, he did experience the heartbreak of a failed engagement. In 2007, he met world-renowned opera singer Katherine Jenkins on Strictly Come Dancing, where they hit it off and began dating. The couple announced their engagement in February 2011 but sadly called it off by the end of the year.
The relationship was a huge moment in Gethin’s life. As he opened up on Strictly’s podcast, “I had gone from Blue Peter to dating a world-famous singer. Everything changed with this relationship.”
Reflecting on the end of their engagement, Gethin said, “The plan was always to go home to Wales, get married, have children and teach my children to speak Welsh. But you just never know what’s going to happen, do you?”
Lucy Mecklenburgh: A Brief Romance
After his split from Katherine, Gethin had a brief fling with TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh. However, their busy schedules made it impossible to take things further. Lucy confirmed their mutual decision to part ways, calling Gethin “the nicest guy,” but admitting the timing just wasn’t right.
Later, Gethin had a one-year relationship with model Katja Zwara, who appeared in Olly Murs’ Dance With Me Tonight music video. Unfortunately, their relationship ended in 2018 due to their hectic work schedules.
Gethin’s Connection with First Dates’ Cici Coleman
In the summer of 2023, Gethin was linked to First Dates waitress Cici Coleman. The pair were seen together at a West End show, sparking rumors of a blossoming romance. A source revealed, “They’ve grown close and have been spending time together,” but as of now, it’s still unclear if their connection has blossomed into something more.
Helen Skelton: The Rumors That Took Over
The most recent romance rumors involve Gethin’s Morning Live co-host Helen Skelton. After attending the TV BAFTAs together in May, a source claimed, “Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship, and in recent months, their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection.” At a charity event, onlookers speculated they were a couple, noting their undeniable chemistry.
Despite these whispers, Gethin and Helen both denied any romantic involvement. Helen clarified, “We just work together. We are not together. No, no, no. We’re just work friends.”
Gethin’s Hope for the Future: Love and Family
In past interviews, Gethin has opened up about his desire for a family. “I hope one day I’m blessed to be married and have children, but you can’t force the issue. The older I get, the more relaxed I feel about it,” he shared in 2016. He has also expressed interest in adoption, inspired by a close friend’s experience. “I’ve always wanted to adopt,” he revealed in 2023. “I think it would be amazing to save a child in that sense.”
Gethin’s journey in love hasn’t been without its share of heartbreaks and missed opportunities. But one thing is clear — he’s someone who values family, love, and connection, and when the right person comes along, he’s ready to embrace it.
Will Gethin finally find his happy ending? Stay tuned, as we watch the next chapter of his love life unfold.
