In a development sure to ignite speculation among fans and followers, beloved television presenter Stephen Mulhern was spotted attending an intimate family barbecue hosted by Josie Gibson — and it wasn’t just the surprise appearance that drew attention. According to insiders at the event, the pair were seen wearing what appeared to be matching, high-end rings, prompting fresh rumours of a deepening romantic bond.
🔥 A Private Affair with a Public Spark
The barbecue, held at Josie’s countryside home just outside Bath, was intended as a private family gathering — but several attendees couldn’t help but notice Stephen’s low-key presence, quietly blending in with close relatives and friends. According to one guest, “Stephen was there the whole afternoon, chatting with Josie’s mum, playing with the kids — he wasn’t just visiting, he was part of it.”
It was during a group photo moment that several guests reportedly noticed both Josie and Stephen wearing rings that looked nearly identical, described as simple but elegant bands in platinum with a discreet inscription visible only up close.
💍 The Rings That Caught Everyone Off Guard
One guest at the event shared anonymously:
“They were both wearing these sleek matching rings — not flashy, but definitely designer. Someone asked about them, and Josie just smiled and changed the subject. But the look they gave each other said more than words.”
According to fashion insiders, the rings closely resemble custom pieces from a high-end British jeweller known for bespoke couple bands — typically priced at over £5,000 each.
💬 Romance Rumours Resurface
This is not the first time speculation has swirled around the relationship between the This Morning host and the Catchphrase presenter. The pair have been linked by tabloids and fans alike, most recently after being seen together at multiple low-profile weekend outings, including trips to wellness retreats and quiet cafés in the Cotswolds.
Though both have previously described their relationship as a close friendship, the growing number of intimate sightings is now pushing many to believe that there’s more than just friendship behind the scenes.
👀 What’s Next?
Neither Josie nor Stephen have officially commented on the barbecue, the rings, or the nature of their relationship. However, with increasing public interest and a string of subtle hints, fans are eager for confirmation — or at least a cheeky nod — from the famously private pair.
Social media, meanwhile, has already made up its mind:
“Matching rings at a family BBQ? Just announce the wedding already!”
“Stephen’s not just attending — he’s family now.”
