How David Haye is the biggest ‘heartthrob’ in sport despite ‘three hotties rota’
He is one of the most recognizable faces in the sporting world and has even been awarded an honorary doctorate for his boxing achievements. But as David Haye himself once said, he is a ‘selfish prick’ when it comes to women.
Since ‘throupling’ with model Sian Osbourne in 2020, the ‘Hayemaker’ has introduced at least four other women to their unconventional relationship – and unfortunately broken a few hearts along the way.

Examples of this include the beautiful DJ Mica Jova in April 2023 and the Canadian businesswoman Danielle in August of the same year.
Just this week, actress Helen Flanagan tearfully admitted she was once “in love” with him.
But despite falling for the womaniser, she refused to be added to his ‘bed roster’ of women. She said: ‘I wouldn’t have liked to see the man I was in love with having sex with another woman.’
She broke down in tears as she admitted she felt “really guilty” about sleeping with the 43-year-old while he was with Sian, 32, who appears to be comfortably on his threesome list.
Meanwhile, 43-year-old singer Una Healy of The Saturday insisted she had never heard the word ‘throuple’ before meeting Haye, and was convinced she had been ‘conned’ into joining the unconventional group.
Unconsciously women are attracted to his type, they try to change him but they rarely succeed. He is a challenge they want to take on.

Despite leaving behind much heartache, Haye has secured the title of “the greatest player in the game”, with some fans even claiming he is “living the dream”.
But according to Tina Wilson, relationship expert and founder of WingmanTriple relationships come with a lot of complications.
She says: “You have to know what you’re signing up for. One of the challenges is the extra emotional effort that comes with it.
“First, it can be tiring to explain your relationship style, and you may have to constantly deal with both your own emotions and those of the other people involved.
Jealousy and insecurity can be more prevalent in a threesome than in a regular couple, because there are more people and feelings involved. This can lead to resentment and heartbreak.
“It takes a lot of time and continuous work to keep the relationship strong. Everyone has to be fully committed, because if one person doesn’t, it can cause major problems.”
Calling for new ‘hotties’
And it seems Helen preferred to stay away from it.
Speaking about her brief fling with Haye last year, following her split from footballer Scott Sinclair, the 34-year-old told Celebs Go Dating that she couldn’t bear to share David with Sian.
Helen’s sincere feelings are a far cry from the heavyweight champion’s yo-yo mentality.
There are photos of him enjoying the company of beautiful women, while Sian is nowhere to be seen.
Yet on Valentine’s Day, he paid tribute to the 32-year-old model, whom he had previously branded his “accomplice,” with a bizarre and awkward declaration of love, suggesting that she might be the only woman who would put up with him.
“In the dance of life, you are the partner who has unconditionally embraced my true essence,” he exulted. “’Amidst my rough edges, you guide me through a path of Love, well-being and creativity.”
In a call for new “hotties” on the upscale dating app Raya in April, the Lothario confessed that he’s not exactly monogamous boyfriend material, going so far as to call himself a “selfish prick” in a bizarre attempt to lure gorgeous women into his bed.
“Nothing is ever good enough,” he warned potential dates. “I always want more, rarely satisfied.
“I have many deep-seated complex demons that are eating me up from the inside out and that manifest in disgustingly shocking acts of… let’s not tell you everything and spoil the surprise!”
It seems that Sian is okay with their unconventional arrangement for now.
But if she wants to commit in the future, she’ll probably be out of luck with a man like Haye, Tina says.
“A man who is willing to change partners and advertises on his dating profile that ‘nothing is ever good enough’ is showing signs of narcissism,” she adds.
“His approach to relationships provides insight into his values around commitment, emotional safety and trust,” she explains.
Who is David Haye?
David Haye is a former British professional boxer who competed between 2002 and 2018.
He is best known as the world champion in two weight classes: cruiserweight and heavyweight.
His nickname is The Haymaker.
Outside the ring, he was known for his charisma, confidence and ability to sell fights.
In recent years, his love life has been a spectacle.
But on paper, it’s not that hard to see why Haye is a good fit and why these smart, clever women might fall for him.
With a fortune of over £15million, celebrity friends including Dizzee Rascal and One Direction and an enviable body thanks to “hard work and dedication, hard work and dedication”, some women can’t resist.
A Playboy bunny who slept with him in 2003 called it “the best sex I’ve ever had.”
Fans were shocked when Una started dating Haye in 2022 and he posted a picture with his arms around his two girlfriends in bikinis, but she later denied ever having a relationship with Sian.
She ended the relationship in February 2023, after Haye and Sian went on holiday without her.
His powerful presence and self-assurance ultimately add to his charm. Subconsciously, women are drawn to his type to try to change him, but they rarely succeed. He is a challenge they are willing to take on

She said, “I’m a monogamous person, hopefully someday I’ll settle down with a nice monogamous man.”
She also claimed that when she first met Haye on a dating app, he told her he “didn’t believe traditional relationships existed anymore.”
She added: “He was honest that I wasn’t the only woman he was seeing. I was very aware that he was seeing other people.
“I thought, ‘I’m done. This isn’t for me. He can have whoever he wants.’ One will never be enough for him.”
Haye once ventured into monogamy when he married his ex-wife Natasha, now 42, in 2008.
They were together for eight years and had three children – Cassius, Sienna and Kingston – but rumours of an affair ended the marriage, which had already been marred by infidelity on his part.

At one point during their marriage, he was photographed snuggling up to TOWIE star Lauren Goodger at a party.
He is also said to have had sex with a beautiful blonde behind his wife’s back and to have had an extramarital affair with a stripper.
When Natasha’s divorce petition, alleging unreasonable behaviour, was granted within 30 seconds, Haye made her sign a gag order, conveniently requiring her never to reveal any details of his affairs.
Although he hadn’t really proven himself to be a one-woman man by 2020, the move towards the ‘trinity’ seems to have begun when he met Sian.
But even 16 years ago, the boxer bragged about how women couldn’t get enough of him.
And when asked why he had so many scantily clad female followers on the social media site MySpace, he replied: “They seem to be attracted to me.”
When feelings are not addressed or someone feels overlooked, it can create tension between everyone. Open communication and making sure everyone feels valued is key

The reason for this, Tina adds, could have to do with Hayes’ “confidence.”
She explains: “His powerful presence and confidence ultimately add to his charm.
“Unconsciously, women are attracted to his type, they try to change him, but they rarely succeed. He is a challenge that they want to take on.
“His appeal is also the confidence, the success, the physique and the excitement that comes with being a wealthy athlete.”
It is unlikely that Haye is a man who has trouble sleeping at night because of his frivolity in relationships.
However, Tina says that by doing so he is jeopardizing his chances of long-term happiness.
“If David involves more people in the marriage, it could still affect his chances of finding lasting love,” she says.
“When feelings aren’t discussed or someone feels neglected, it can cause tension between everyone.
“Open communication and making sure everyone feels valued is key. Without that, the relationship can fall apart.
“It’s easy to be attracted to the concept, but the reality is much harder to deal with.”
And referring to former Coronation Street star Helen, Tina says she shouldn’t think too hard about leaving Haye behind.
“For some, like Helen, the dynamics of an open relationship can be an emotional rollercoaster, and dealing with those feelings can be difficult.
“It’s completely normal to feel confused and want a traditional, monogamous relationship.”
