I feel now that you have done personal counselling for each of them seperately, now its the time that you should bring them together and have an discussion with HR and if possible any professioanal counsellor / trainer / coach.
Mention to them that HR dept has observed these romours and unnecessary discussions which may / are causing problems to orgnaization, organization culture and work environment.
You can hear to both of them and leave the decision to them on what next to do.... You be very clear that you dont want the organization and organizational culture to get affected because of any personal issues.
