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. 'Three people shot' after gunman opens fire in Times Square 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. 5 Gibbon and Wyld have been pictured together on several occasions since their separations from their partners Credit: Facebook

Mark Gibbon: Grandfather who tried to drown daughter-in-law was secretly in relationship with her
A shocking twist has emerged in the case of a British grandfather accused of trying to drown his daughter-in-law during a family holiday in Florida. The family had been staying at the Solterra Resort in Davenport, about 65 kilometres south of Orlando, when the incident occurred last Sunday. What reportedly began as a dispute over Mark Gibbon's will quickly escalated into violence, with the confrontation between Mr Gibbon and Jasmine Wyld ending in the resort's swimming pool, according to local authorities. Now, in a startling development, it has been revealed that the two had allegedly been in a romantic relationship for the past two years. A family source told the Daily Mail that Mr Gibbon and Ms Wyld became close after they both separated from their respective partners. 9yo girl's brave act after grandpa tries to drown her mum 1 min read 'Mark and Jasmine have been seeing each other for a few years, but they've never admitted it,' the source revealed. 'They do an awful lot together and they go away on holiday with the children a couple of times every year. 'They went to Florida two years ago and have been to Budapest where she posted pictures of them together like a couple. 'I don't know for sure what happened on this holiday and why Mark has apparently tried to drown her. 'But I have been told that Jasmine was unhappy that they have been in a relationship for a few years and she is not named in his will.' Ms Wyld separated from Mr Gibbon's son, Alex, in 2021. Though no longer a couple, they continue to raise their two children together. Meanwhile, Mr Gibbon divorced his wife and now resides alone in a million-dollar property in Beaconsfield, which he bought in 2023. Past tensions between Mr Gibbon and his son had already created serious rifts within the family. In 2024, Alex served a prison sentence after an explosive confrontation in which he reportedly drove an £80,000 ($164,000) Porsche Cayenne into his father. The year before, the two had also publicly fallen out when Alex suddenly left the family business under unexplained circumstances. The insider confirmed that father and son are no longer in contact. 'He feels an awful betrayal at how his dad has struck up a relationship with the mother of his two children,' the source said. Mr Gibbon is now facing a single count of attempted murder and two counts of felony battery as a result of the drowning attempt. While admitting to holding Ms Wyld 'underwater a few times', Mr Gibbon claims it was never his intention to drown his daughter-in-law. Mr Gibbon is being held at the Polk County Jail without bail.
