You know how they say true love never runs smooth? Well, Kym Marsh can definitely attest to that.
At 48, she’s finally found her soulmate, Samuel Thomas, a lesser-known actor who is 29 years old – the same age as her eldest child.
Kym shared their relationship on Sunday evening with a heartfelt post: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times.
@samuelthomasuk I love you.”
Interestingly, Kym met Samuel while playing the villainous Cruella de Ville in a touring production of 101 Dalmatians.
Despite her many attempts at love, including a third marriage that ended just 13 months ago, Kym believes she has now found her forever person.
But who else has been part of her journey to true love? Let’s take a look.
David Cunliffe (1994-1999)
Before she became a household name, Kym met David Cunliffe, a local builder, during a karaoke night in her hometown of Garswood, Lancashire.
They got engaged quickly and had two children, David, 29, and Emilie, 27. However, the couple separated in 1999.
Kym recalled those tough times, living on a tight budget and making ends meet as a single mother.
She often shared the struggles she faced to provide for her children, highlighting the difficulties of those early years.
Jack Ryder (2001-2009)
Kym’s romance with Jack Ryder blossomed over tea and biscuits in the BBC canteen.
At the time, Kym was part of the pop group Hear’Say and Jack was a well-known actor in EastEnders.
They married in 2002, selling their wedding photos to OK! magazine.
However, their marriage ended in 2009 after Jack filed for divorce due to Kym’s affair with actor Jamie Lomas.
The court proceedings revealed Kym’s admission of adultery, which led to their eventual separation.
Jamie Lomas (2009-2014)
Kym and Jamie Lomas started dating just four months after her split from Jack Ryder.
They met on a train to an awards show and quickly became a couple.
Kym fell pregnant with their child within two months, but tragically, their son Archie Jay died shortly after being born prematurely.
Kym spoke openly about the isolation and grief she felt during this time.
Despite this tragedy, they welcomed their daughter Polly in 2011 and got married in 2012.
However, their relationship ended in 2014, with Kym being surprised by Jamie’s decision to end it.
Oliver Mellor (2013)
Before her marriage to Jamie ended, Kym had a five-month affair with her Coronation Street co-star Oliver Mellor.
Oliver later claimed that he ended the relationship because he believed Kym would never leave Jamie.
He stated that their chemistry was undeniable and that they had strong feelings for each other.
However, he felt it was best to step away from the situation, although he was glad that Kym eventually left Jamie, believing it was for the best.
Kym’s journey to finding true love has been filled with ups and downs, but she remains hopeful and grateful for the unexpected turns that have led her to where she is now.
