The shocking confrontation unfolded at the luxury Solterra Resort near Disney World while the pair were on holiday with Wyld's two children - who are also Gibbon's grandchildren.
But now, a source close to the family claimed the bitter feud began years ago in extraordinary circumstances.
The insider told the Daily Mail: "About four years ago there was a big fall-out.
"Alex went up the stairs and found Jasmine in his father's bed. They had a massive row."
They added: "It's torn the family apart... there's been so much bad blood between Alex and his dad.
"He just can't get over the fact that his father ended up in a relationship with his ex-partner and the mother of his children."
Wyld, 33, separated from Gibbon's son Alex, 32, in 2021 but the pair still share two young children.
Gibbon divorced his wife and now lives in an £800,000 semi-detached home in Beaconsfield, where the alleged couple are said to spend much of their time.
Their alleged relationship began after they both split from their partners, the Mail reported.
'Mark and Jasmine have been seeing each other for a few years, but they've never admitted it,' the source claimed, adding that they have holidayed together in Budapest and Florida.

Family tensions reportedly boiled over last year when Alex was jailed for driving an £80,000 Porsche Cayenne into his dad following a public row.
The father and son no longer speak.
The alleged poolside attack happened after Gibbon and Wyld began arguing over "stipulations" in his will.
US police claim Gibbon pushed her head "under the water and held her down multiple times" until bystanders threatened to call the sheriff's office.
Wyld reportedly told officials she "could not breathe and believed she was going to drown", while her nine-year-old daughter desperately tried to pull her to safety.
Gibbon has allegedly admitted pushing Wyld underwater but denied trying to kill her, claiming they had both been drinking, she slapped him, and the fight escalated.
He is now facing one count of attempted murder and two counts of battery.
Gibbon, a lighting technician who has worked on music videos for Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Paloma Faith, is also listed as the sole director of Sage Hairdressing.
The Sun has approached Gibbon for comment.

Israeli minister confronts long-imprisoned Palestinian leader face to face
Marwan Barghouti is serving five life sentences after being convicted of involvement in attacks at the height of the Palestinian uprising, or intifada, in the early 2000s. Polls consistently show he is the most popular Palestinian leader. He has rarely been seen since his arrest more than two decades ago. It was unclear when the video was taken, but it shows national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, known for staging provocative encounters with Palestinians, telling Barghouti that he will 'not win'. 'Anyone who messes with the people of Israel, anyone who murders our children, anyone who murders our women, we will wipe them out,' Mr Ben-Gvir said in the video. He repeated those words in a post on X in which he shared the footage. Mr Ben-Gvir's spokesman confirmed the visit and the video's authenticity, but denied that the minister was threatening Barghouti. Barghouti, now in his mid-60s, was a senior leader in President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah movement during the intifada. Many Palestinians see him as a natural successor to the ageing and unpopular leader of the Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israel considers him a terrorist and has shown no sign it would release him. Hamas has demanded his release in exchange for hostages taken in the October 7 2023 attack that triggered the war in the Gaza Strip. In a Facebook post, Barghouti's wife said she could not recognise her husband, who appeared frail in the video. Still, she said after watching the video, he remained connected to the Palestinian people. 'Perhaps a part of me does not want to acknowledge everything that your face and body shows, and what you and the prisoners have been through,' wrote Fadwa Al Barghouthi, who spells their last name differently in English. Israeli officials say they have reduced the conditions under which Palestinians are held to the bare minimum allowed under Israeli and international law. Many detainees released as part of a ceasefire in Gaza earlier this year appeared gaunt and ill, and some were taken for immediate medical treatment.

I walked streets of Washington and saw scenes straight from disaster movie after terrifying breakdown in law and order
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE armoured vehicles were stationed in position, troops in combat fatigues buzzed around and temperatures headed towards 33C. But this wasn't a scene from Iraq or Afghanistan. We were standing in Washington DC, the birthplace of American democracy.

Washington's Lincoln Memorial is such a symbol of America that it features on the five-dollar bill. But the monument now serves as a backdrop to row after row of tents where homeless people are massed in a camp which looks like the cross-Channel migrant 'jungle' in Calais. Rubbish was strewn everywhere, and the occupants were clearly in it for the long haul. One had even somehow set up a washing machine. READ MORE ON WASHINGTON DC NO-GO ZONE Washington will be besieged by riots if Trump wins or loses, says security chief Under a nearby bridge, mattresses and glass beer bottles lay scattered everywhere. Piercing scream I have never seen so many homeless in a city. Within 30 seconds of arriving at the world-famous Union Station, I was confronted by a woman lying on the floor, with her trousers falling down. More rows of homeless were slumped outside a library just a street away from the White House, and they took no heed of Trump's warning – telling me: 'We are never leaving.' Some had been smoking what they told me was super-strength cannabis, and were lying comatose on the floor unable to wake up. A security guard at a nearby Hilton hotel said: 'You think this is crazy? You should have seen it last week. There was a shooting nearby.' Five US cities where Donald Trump could next launch militarized crime crackdown as DC launch exposes Democrat failures He claimed that at the weekend, kids go to party and take fentanyl – a drug said to be more dangerous than heroin – on the rooftop of a nearby hotel. Its swimming pool sits a matter of yards from the Capitol, home of America's parliament. One such get-together ended in a shooting – and when I left town the killer was still on the loose. Not far away was a posh restaurant where the cheapest glass of wine will set you back 15 dollars. But diners peering through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows can see the canvas of a tent and half a dozen homeless people shouting and swearing. Locals say they are a group out of their minds on crack cocaine. One man verbally abused me as he held a sign condemning 'the human race' and another was seen shouting at a little girl that she was a 'b***h', because she didn't give him a dollar. Suddenly, there was a piercing scream and a woman had been knocked over by a speeding car. Later, in scenes straight from a Hollywood disaster movie, we witnessed hundreds of FBI officers being briefed at a base near one of Washington's most dangerous neighbourhoods, Anacostia. One by one, their cars left the centre in dramatic fashion. That evening's mission: A crackdown on 'bloodthirsty criminals'. We attempted to take a leaf out of the FBI's book and venture into the neighbourhood ourselves but swiftly realised that was a bad idea, as masked gangs loitered on the streets looking for trouble. As we cruised back to town, we spotted six blacked-out SUVs full of Drug Enforcement Administration officers armed with machine guns stopping a car and arresting a wrong 'un. Another man was half-naked and trying to dance with scared tourists Scarlet Howes A crazed man sat in just his underpants at a bus stop he had turned into a makeshift home, and was terrifying people. A woman coming home from work was so scared she jumped on the wrong bus just to escape from him. He had taken fentanyl and, when he saw us, put his middle finger up. Another man was half-naked and trying to dance with scared tourists who just wanted to see the city's famous landmarks. It seemed the men who Trump called 'drugged-out maniacs' were lurking around almost every corner. And his plan was in full force, as nearly every street had a police car parked up, or a special agent. There were too many of them to count. 4 The Sun's Scarlet speaks to a homeless man in the city centre Credit: James Breeden for The Sun

Andrew Tate's £180k deposit on Aston Martin Valhalla seized by police
Devon and Cornwall Police said cash used to pay the deposit came from tax evasion and money laundering Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDREW Tate's £180,000 deposit on a supercar has been seized by police. The social media influencer, who has been charged with rape and human trafficking, put a down payment on an Aston Martin Valhalla in July 2021, officers said. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up An early version of the £850,000 limited-edition model appeared in Bond film No Time to Die. Devon and Cornwall Police said cash used to pay the deposit came from tax evasion and money laundering. It comes after £2.7million worth of criminal assets were seized from Tate and his brother Tristan last December. Police obtained account freezing and forfeiture orders at Westminster magistrates' court earlier this week. Det Supt Jon Bancroft said: 'This latest judgement follows on from our applications made against the Tate brothers which resulted in a successful ruling in December 2024 and the forfeiture of nearly £2.7 million of criminal funds. 'From the outset we aimed to demonstrate that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their tax obligations and laundered money. 'People in Devon and Cornwall will benefit from the money seized and it will be reinvested to help prevent crime, aid victims and vulnerable people, and to boost good causes.' 1 Andrew Tate's £180,000 deposit on a supercar has been seized by police Credit: AFP
