Just weeks after the heartbreaking loss of his father, Gethin Jones has found himself in the headlines again — this time as the real reason for his split from Helen Skelton comes to light. 
According to the Daily Mail, the TV presenters — who had been quietly growing closer and were heavily “shipped” by fans — suddenly cooled their romance after only a short time. What shocked many was the revelation that Gethin had been spotted on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya just last month.
He shared with a friend that he was in Australia with pals and was keen to meet other women. This, the friend said, “puts the final nail in the coffin for his romance with Helen. If they were still together, Helen would never stand for that — and Gethin has far too much respect for her to go behind her back.”
Despite their increasingly close bond, the romance has “cooled down significantly,” leaving fans who hoped they would become one of the UK’s golden couples deeply disappointed.
The news comes amid a period of personal grief for Gethin, who recently said a final goodbye to his father — a devoted headteacher for nearly three decades — holding his hand as he took his last breath. Friends believe that the emotional toll of his loss, combined with his busy work schedule and long periods away from home, may have contributed to the relationship’s end. 
Representatives for both Gethin and Helen have declined to comment. But for many fans, it marks a bittersweet and premature ending to a love story they had hoped would blossom into something lasting.
