As I delve into the tumultuous love life of Kym Marsh, a woman who has navigated heartache and joy with unwavering resilience, it is truly remarkable to witness her journey. With a career that started on Popstars and spanning over two decades in the entertainment industry, Kym’s experiences are not unlike the rollercoaster ride we all call life.


On Tuesday, Kym Marsh and her partner Samuel Thomas exited The Palace Theatre in Manchester with broad grins after their recent show.

The 48-year-old vocalist and the 29-year-old thespian, who made their relationship known in July, are at present touring extensively across the United Kingdom and Ireland and simultaneously featuring in the production of 101 Dalmatians The Musical.

After leaving the venue, Kym switched out of her performance attire for something more functional yet maintained her bold stage makeup.

She teamed a grey T-shirt with matching joggers and a pair of platform trainers while carrying an oversized tote bag. 

In the play, Kym is portraying Cruella de Vil, while her partner Samuel takes on the role of Tom Dearly. He’s the leading actor in this production, and they are working together.

Beginning on June 22, 2024, the West End production is set to debut at New Wimbledon Theatre and will subsequently travel throughout the nation, concluding its tour in January 2025.

A week ago, Kym appeared quite smitten with Samuel during their joint photo shoot, which he subsequently posted on Instagram.

He softly expressed that “life is really wonderful right now” as the newlyweds savor their honeymoon phase.

Samuel shared in his post’s caption that they spent two delightful days exploring and acting like tourists in London, soaking up the city’s attractions.

In conclusion, he expressed his affection by saying “I love you” during their delightful outing, which included a stunning photo of Kym.

He penned: ‘Life’s pretty great right now. Two wonderful days in London staying at @strandpalace in between venues last week, and what a lovely time we had.

Fantastic food, fresh tattoos, exploring Camden Market, @kissmekateuk and @barbicancentre, filled with laughter, love, and joy. I adore you, @marsh_kym ❤️. (Paraphrased)

His pals were quick to comment under the post saying how happy and in love he looked.

The event follows a situation where Kym had to explain why she’s dating someone the same age as her son, following accusations against her.

At twenty-nine years old, Samuel, whom she affectionately calls “the greatest man I know,” shares the same age as her oldest son, David Cunliffe.

It seems that Kym’s friends are concerned that her latest relationship with a younger individual might dissolve, potentially causing distress, as they fear it may not last.

The prominent actress, it seems, has the backing of her friends, who appear joyful that she’s found a companion. However, reports indicate that they harbor worries she might get hurt in the process.

The actress has a son named David, who is 29 years old, and a daughter named Emilie, who is 27, from her past relationship with builder David Cunliffe.

Back in the late ’90s, I crossed paths with this extraordinary duo at a cozy pub in Lancashire. Little did we know that our friendship was about to take a turn, as fate had other plans for us just a year later in 1999. You see, my dear friend embarked on an incredible journey towards stardom, all while I was still basking in the comfort of obscurity.

Two years down the line, Kym graced the stage on Top of the Pop’s show, where she encountered the well-known actor Jack Ryder, who was famed for portraying Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders.

In August 2002, they got married at St. Albans parish church in Hertford, and later on, they allegedly sold their wedding photos to OK! Magazine for approximately £300,000.

However, seven years down the line, things came to an end. Ryder filed for divorce, citing infidelity as the reason, after it seemed she had been involved with Jamie Lomas, her future second husband.

At first, people were concerned that Kym may have hastily entered into her romance with Lomas, as they began dating merely four months following her separation from Ryder.

In 2007, they encountered each other on a train while both were heading towards the TV Quick Awards. Their initial friendly conversation blossomed into a romantic relationship, and by 2008, they had made their love public – a development that occurred about a year before she finalized her divorce.

In just under two months of being a couple, Kym found herself expecting their first child. However, heartbreak followed as their son, Archie Jay, passed away mere moments after being delivered 18 weeks too early on February 11.

The couple had happier news when they welcomed daughter Polly in March 2011.

In September 2012, they made their vows, but by 2014, their marriage had ended. It was said that Kym was taken aback when Lomas chose to end the relationship.

She remarried for a third time to Scott Ratcliff back in 2021.

Thirteen months after their wedding, the couple decided to part ways when Kym initiated a divorce due to what she perceived as irrational actions on his part.
