'Only throuple I am in is me, myself and I': Una Healy talks rumours ...

A ‘throuple’ is a term used to describe a romantic relationship between three people and Healy admitted she only learned the word when it was linked to her in headlines after the photo from the trip gathered attention.

“I’m telling you I've been haunted by that picture,” Healy said. “For the last few months literally it was the same picture — me in that black bikini with two other people — while I'm literally down at home in Thurles minding my own business doing the school run.

“I have no idea where that word came from or how I'm linked to it, just because I posted a picture with two people that I know, but I've been haunted by it since. I think I need to put this whole thing to bed right now and move on.

“The only ‘throuple’ that I am in is me, myself and I,” she added.

She said the rumour was hurtful to bother herself and her loved ones and she was upset that she was being “used as clickbait” by some outlets.

“To be honest, it's been horrendous. I'm not going to lie. I've found it really horrible and I think that I’ve been used as clickbait and it's really affected me and it's really upset me and it's upset my family. I would just love if I could just be left alone about that, leave that word behind and let me move on.” 

Describing herself as “very single” now, Healy said she hopes to meet someone organically rather than through a dating app. She met Haye last summer on the celebrity dating app, Raya.

Her comments come over a week after she broke her silence on the ‘throuple’ rumour, telling the popular My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast that she had to ‘Google’ the word because she did not know what it meant.
