Kym Marsh Finds Love Again!
Kym Marsh, the beloved soap star, has found love again, just a year after her third divorce. The 48-year-old actress went public with her new boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, 29, on Instagram earlier this month.
This romance comes after her split from army major Scott Ratcliff, whom she married in 2021. The couple, who met in 2018, announced their engagement in 2021 and tied the knot the same year. However, their busy careers, with Kym filming and rehearsing for various projects and Scott stationed in barracks in the south, created a strain on their relationship.
In May 2023, it was revealed that Kym had decided to end the relationship due to the distance and demanding schedules. A source at the time said, âThey both really tried to make it work, but the cracks have been there for a while and they were only getting to see each other for one or two days a week at the very most."
Kym's new love interest, Samuel, is a fellow performer. The pair met while working together on the UK tour of "101 Dalmations: The Musical", which launched in June 2024.
Kym expressed her joy on Instagram, sharing a photo of the couple kissing and writing, "Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou."
Samuel echoed her sentiments, posting, "I didnât expect you, but here you are. I love you."
Kym's romantic history has been a subject of public interest for many years. Here's a look at some of her past relationships:
- Jack Ryder (2002-2008): Kym's first marriage was to EastEnders actor Jack Ryder, whom she met while working on Top of the Pops. The couple married in 2002 and divorced in 2008.
- Dave Cunliffe (2009-2012): Kym has two children, son David and daughter Emilie, from her relationship with Dave Cunliffe. The pair were together from 2009 to 2012.
- Jamie Lomas (2009-2014): Kym's second marriage was to Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, who she started dating in 2009. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and divorced two years later. They share a daughter, Polly, and have maintained a good relationship for the sake of their daughter.
Kym and Jamie also tragically lost their son, Archie, moments after his birth in February 2009.
Kym's journey through love and heartbreak shows her strength and resilience. She remains a strong and devoted mother to her children, and it seems she has found happiness and love once again.
