But now, according to the Mail Online, the couple have cooled things off with Gethin joining celebrity dating app Raya during his current trip Down Under in a bid to meet Aussie women.
It was first reported by the same publication in May how the pair were enjoying a flirty and tactile relationship with each other and had even spent time on a spa retreat and were acting "like a couple" after chemistry "blossomed".
But now it appears that Gethin's focus is elsewhere after updating his Raya profile to show he is in Australia where the 47-year-old has been enjoying a boys trip.
Insiders added to the Mail that Gethin is on the prowl in hopes of finding a new connection.
A source said: "Gethin is on the prowl Down Under which puts the nail in the coffin for his romance with Helen.
"He's there with pals but keen to meet other women.
"There is no way Helen would stand for that if they were together and he has far too much respect for her to even go behind her back.
"Despite having an increasingly close connection it's cooled down significantly which is gutting for fans who really wanted them to be together."
The Sun has reached out to representatives for Gethin and Helen for comment.
Helen is understood to have been single following the high-profile collapse of her marriage to Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler.

He chose to leave Helen and their three children to marry Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew, with whom he went on to have two children.
Gethin meanwhile last romanced First Dates star CiCi Coleman in 2023.
He has also enjoyed brief dalliances with a bevy of celebrity beauties including TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh and German lingerie model, Katja Zwara.
Gethin famously dated Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins for four years from 2007 and even became engaged in February 2011 before they split ten months later.
Helen and Gethin grew close after he became a shoulder to cry on for the star as she continued to struggle with the loss of her marriage.

Ryan Reynolds' £7.5m target's dad drops huge hint on record Wrexham transfer going through
A Wrexham transfer target's dad appears to have hinted that a record £7.5m move is close with a cryptic post, sparking fan excitement as the club gears up for the Championship Nathan Broadhead's dad appears to have dropped a major hint that his son is about to complete a move to Wrexham in a club-record deal. The Red Dragons, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were reported to have tabled a £7.5million bid for the Ipswich Town forward last week. Broadhead, who was previously part of Wrexham's academy, joined the Tractor Boys from Everton for £1.5m in January 2023. He played a key role in Ipswich 's back-to-back promotions from League One and the Championship, before being restricted to just seven Premier League starts last season. Now in the final year of his contract at Portman Road, talks over the Wales international's proposed move were initially understood to be progressing well. The deal looked to have stalled at the weekend though due to injuries and transfer interest in other Ipswich attackers. However, the 27-year-old's dad, Mark Broadhead, has offered hope to Wrexham fans after sharing a cryptic post from his personal Facebook account. Simply captioned "12 years later," it shows an image of a young Nathan playing for Everton in 2013, followed by one of him celebrating a goal for Ipswich last year. The final picture, titled "Now," shows Nathan sporting a Wrexham shirt while kneeling on the pitch at the Racecourse Ground back in his academy days. While the deal has not been confirmed by either club, supporters have taken it as a sign that his return is imminent after a screengrab of the post was shared on X by the Fearless in Devotion fan account. One person replied: "That's all the info we need." While someone else posted: "As good as an official announcement, that." Another supporter wrote: "Someone may have just let it slip also outside the ground too." Ipswich fans also seemed convinced, with one adding: "You've got yourselves one hell of a player. Good luck this season." Broadhead has bagged 23 goals in 83 appearances for Ipswich in total and his arrival at Wrexham would be seen as a big coup. The Welsh side are preparing for their first campaign in the second tier for 43 years after securing promotion from League One in April. Manager Phil Parkinson has so far signed eight players this summer as he looks to improve his squad. Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore became the latest addition on Tuesday, joining on a three-year contract in a deal reportedly worth £2m. Wrexham face a tough start to the season as they travel to face relegated Southampton on Saturday in their opening game. Liberato Cacace is another new face who signed up last month from Italian outfit Empoli, and the left-back is looking forward to getting started. Explaining why he signed, he told the BBC: "There was interest in Italy, but for me, I'm a big football fan as well. I watch a lot of football and I've always watched English football, from the Premier League to the Championship so I know the level I'm heading into. "It was always a big dream of mine to play in the UK. Obviously Wrexham having so much publicity in the media as well you could see what the club was like. It's a very exciting project and I'm also very excited to start the season as well." He added: "I've already had chats with the players and with the manager and I think I'm settling in pretty well. I'm a professional person as well so I always like to keep fit. I'm going to use every day to make sure that against Southampton I'll be ready to go."

American Exchange Group snaps up womenswear brand Venus
Womenswear brand Venus has found a new home at American Exchange Group (AXNY Group), which has acquired the Floridian label for an undisclosed sum. The move builds on AXNY's efforts to grow its portfolio of owned and licensed fashion and lifestyle brands, which already comprises Aerosoles, Indie Lee and Jonathan Adler. In a statement, Alen Mamrout, CEO of AXNY Group, said: "This acquisition represents a significant step forward in our continued expansion into the fashion and apparel category. The brand's strong identity and loyal customer base align seamlessly with our strategic vision. With our resources and expertise, we're excited to explore what's next for the brand and unlock its full potential in the evolving retail landscape." As part of AXNY, Venus said it plans to streamline its product offering towards more curated, seasonal collections. Alongside an emphasis on digital growth, the brand is also planning to introduce new retail experiences, including an expansion into retail partnerships. Venus will continue to operate from its Florida headquarters. Laura Bollier, CEO of Venus, said the 'new chapter gives us the strategic support to sharpen our focus and thoughtfully expand – while staying rooted in the DNA our customers have always loved'. Bollier noted that the company was 'excited to reset and return to the core of what made Venus iconic'. Founded in 1984, Venus set out to target 'fashion-forward women', offering pieces for everyday style, vacations and wardrobe staples. The company has primarily operated as an online retailer and catalogue business, however, in more recent years, financial turbulence has put it in precarious positions. In 2009, the company, which was formerly known as Venus Swimwear, was rescued from the cusps of bankruptcy by German retailer Bonprix, a subsidiary of the Otto Group. By 2023, Venus was then forced to reorganise its Jacksonville headquarters, laying off 129 workers due, according to media reports at the time.
