Is love in the air for Gethin Jones? The TV presenter has set tongues wagging with his recent birthday ski trip to Morzine, where he was spotted getting cozy with Sky Sports presenter Pien Meulensteen. But here's where it gets interesting: just months ago, Gethin was rumored to be romantically involved with his Morning Live co-host, Helen Skelton. So, what’s the real story? Let’s dive in.
Gethin, 48, shared glimpses of his birthday getaway on Instagram, captioning his photos with, “A quality few days in Morzine with a top-class group—the padel princesses.” Among the group was Pien Meulensteen, 29, a rising star in sports broadcasting. Pien, who made history as the first female commentator for a live Premier League match on Sky Sports in 2023, also works for ITV, the Premier League, and DAZN’s Women’s Champions League coverage. When she’s not behind the mic, she’s reporting for Soccer Saturday. Oh, and did you know she’s the daughter of Rene Meulensteen, former assistant manager at Manchester United? Talk about a powerhouse lineage!
But here’s where it gets controversial: Gethin’s love life has been a hot topic lately. Just last year, he and Helen Skelton, 42, fueled dating rumors after walking the red carpet together at the Pride of Britain Awards. The pair had been spotted acting “like a couple” during a spa retreat, and their chemistry seemed undeniable. However, Helen recently shut down the speculation, insisting they’re ‘just work friends.’ And this is the part most people miss: according to Mail Online, Gethin reportedly joined the celebrity dating app Raya during a trip to Australia, seemingly looking for new connections.
Adding to the intrigue, Gethin was last linked to First Dates star CiCi Coleman in 2023 and has had high-profile flings with the likes of TOWIE’s Lucy Mecklenburgh and German lingerie model Katja Zwara. His most famous relationship? A four-year engagement with Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins, which ended in 2011.
So, is Pien Meulensteen just a friend, or is there something more brewing? And what does this mean for Gethin’s rumored connection with Helen Skelton? Is it fair to speculate about celebrities’ personal lives, or should we give them more privacy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one love story we can’t stop talking about!
