Stephen Mulhern’s frank admission about his sex life as romance rumours with Josie Gibson swirl

Stephen is a private person

From a reported EastEnders partner to new dating rumours, In For A Penny star Stephen Mulhern has kept his relationship life very private, despite being a television presenter for over two decades.

While attempting to track down his past romances, not much can be unveiled. However, the ITV star can be found opening up about his sex life in a fairly recent interview.

Stephen Mulhern is not having ‘enough’ sex

During an interview with The Sun in 2020, Stephen – back with In For A Penny tonight (April 20) – was asked how often he has sex, to which he replied: “Not enough!”

When questioned about who the love of his life was, he avoided mentioning any potential ex-partners. Instead, he said his sister, Suzie. “Is that a bit weird?” he asked.

Stephen reportedly dated Emma Barton

Previously, Stephen insisted that his busy work life has impacted his time to date. Reports in the past have suggested that Stephen dated EastEnders actor Emma Barton, who currently plays Honey Mitchell.

Allegedly dating between 2008 and 2011, Stephen and Emma met while both appearing in a Snow White pantomime.

With their relationship kept fairly under wraps, Stephen reportedly said at the time that everything had come to a “natural end”.

“I’m in love with Stephen Mulhern. There you go,” she said. “But story of my life, I don’t think he loves me.”
