Gareth Paul Gates is a British singer and songwriter who rose to prominence as the runner-up on the first series of the television talent show "Pop Idol" in 2002. Known for his powerful vocals and charisma, Gates quickly became a popular figure in the UK music industry. He has sold over 3.5 million records in the UK alone and achieved multiple top ten singles.
Gates met dancer Suzanne Mole in 2002, and the couple married in a private ceremony in 2008. Although the wedding was kept out of the public eye, it was later reported by the media as a "secret marriage." The couple welcomed a daughter during their time together. In 2012, Gates publicly announced their divorce, citing that they had grown apart and had mutually decided to part ways.
In 2013, Gates began dating actress Faye Brookes, known for her work in theatre and on television. The relationship reportedly developed sometime after his separation from Mole. Though media speculation hinted at an earlier association between Gates and Brookes, there is no confirmed evidence that their relationship began before his split from Mole.
Reports at the time suggested that photographs of Gates leaving Brookes' residence around midnight contributed to speculation surrounding the breakdown of his marriage. Additionally, rumors circulated about a possible prior relationship between Gates and singer-actress Katie Hall, who was 19 at the time. However, there is no verified evidence to confirm the nature of that relationship.
After the separation, Mole was granted primary custody of their daughter. Gates expressed his desire to remain actively involved in his child's life and stated that he aimed to maintain a respectful relationship with Mole for the sake of their daughter. There are no publicly available details regarding spousal or child support agreements, and Mole has chosen not to comment on the terms of their separation or subsequent relationships.
As of recent reports, Gates remains in a relationship with Faye Brookes. He has been consistently supportive of her career, often attending her performances and publicly expressing admiration for her work. While Mole has not been seen publicly with any new partners, both parties have demonstrated a commitment to co-parenting and providing stability for their daughter.
