We Forget We’re on Air”: Helen Skelton Breaks Silence on Gethin Jones Rumours as She Admits Her Deepest Regret About Motherhood After Heartbreaking Split

For months, fans have watched the sparks fly between Helen Skelton and her Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones, with every red-carpet appearance and on-air glance fuelling whispers of a secret romance.

Now, in a luminous new Prima photoshoot and candid interview, Helen has finally opened up — not with a love confession, but with a revealing insight into just how close their bond really is… and the deeply personal choices shaping her life beyond the rumours.

“We Forget We’re on Air”

Helen, 42, admits her connection with Gethin, 47, runs so deep that professionalism can sometimes blur into pure friendship.

“We’re such good mates that sometimes we genuinely forget we’re on air,” she laughed. “That’s the tricky bit.”

She revealed their history stretches back more than two decades — long before the romance rumours ever began.

“Geth was on Blue Peter before me. We’ve always crossed paths. Michelle and I were flatmates in London. We’ve known each other forever.”

Despite reports earlier this year that their relationship had “cooled,” recent cosy red-carpet appearances at the Pride of Britain Awards and the Royal Television Society Awards suggest the connection remains very real.

Helen won’t label it — but she doesn’t shut it down either.

New Love, New Chapter After Heartbreak

Helen’s honesty comes three years after her highly public split from rugby player Richie Myler in 2022 — a life-shattering moment that forced her to rebuild everything as a single mother of three.

She now raises Ernie (10), Louis (8) and Elsie (3) alone — and admits motherhood has completely reshaped how she sees guilt, ambition and love.

“I used to really stress about going back to work after having kids,” she admitted. “Now I know they actually love what I do.”

One recent moment flattened her emotionally.

“One of them said, ‘My mum’s Helen Skelton.’ That just brought me to my knees.”

The Regret She’s Never Admitted Before

In a rare, raw confession, Helen revealed she would have had more children — if life had unfolded differently.

“I really would have had more kids until this stage,” she said. “I genuinely love it.”

But she has now made peace with where she is.

“I’m conscious that right now, they all really want me. And I want to be there for them all.”

It’s the quiet sacrifice behind the smile — choosing presence over expansion.

Turning 40 Changed Everything

Helen says turning 40 freed her from perfection.

“My house is chaos. My car’s a tip. I’m always late. I turn up to kids’ parties with unwrapped presents — and my friends bring their own food to dinner.”

Then she smiled.

“I’m chaotic… but I’m great fun.”

And that, she says, is the life she’s finally learned to accept.

So… Are Helen and Gethin Really Together?

She doesn’t confirm it.
She doesn’t deny it.
She simply smiles through the speculation and lets the closeness speak for itself.

What’s clear is this:

Helen Skelton is no longer defined by heartbreak — but by friendship, family, quiet regret, unexpected connection… and the bold acceptance of exactly who she is now.
