According to reports, Kym Marsh appears to be venturing into dating once more, looking for her ideal match following her recent separation from Samuel Thomas, her younger partner.
The well-known actor from Coronation Street, aged 49, is said to have signed up for the dating app Hinge, and has allegedly issued specific guidelines to any potential new suitors.
In her profile description, Kym emphasized that the person she intends to love should have the ability to make her laugh so hard it tickles her ribs, in order to increase their chances.
As reported by The Sun, Kym identifies herself as both an actor and a presenter who cherishes lazy mornings, leisurely dog walks, and indulgent roast dinners on her perfect Sunday.
She additionally displayed a humorous disposition, casually comparing dating her to feeling like you’re living in the ‘Truman Show,’ suggesting that while it might be reminiscent of the predictable nature of the TV show, it’s never dull!
The article mentions that her online dating profile features photographs of her affectionately holding two dogs and striking playful poses.


Daily Mail has contacted Kym’s representatives for comment.
As a devoted admirer, I find myself sharing the news that my whirlwind romance with Samuel, who graced us at the tender age of 29 and carries a 19-year age difference in his favor, has come to an end. After a thrilling six months, we parted ways.
I personally parted ways romantically with the performer prior to Christmas. Following our tour with the musical adaptation of 101 Dalmatians, I decided it was best for both of us to move forward separately.
In a turn of events, the singer found herself needing to justify her actions following her public declaration on social media that Samuel, who shares the same age as her eldest son, is her cherished soulmate.
During her split, reports to The Sun indicated that following the end of their tour, Kym struggled to spend as much time with him.
After their separation, according to The Sun’s sources, once their tour concluded, Kym found it challenging to be around him.
As a die-hard enthusiast bursting with excitement, I can’t help but spill the beans! Word on the street has it that Kym and Sam experienced an immediate connection so profound, it was as if they were swept off their feet the moment they crossed paths. The anticipation was palpable – they just couldn’t wait to share their joyous news with the world!
However, as Kym’s involvement in 101 Dalmatians concluded, it seemed that finding opportunities to be together grew more challenging, and over time, a part of their initial enchantment between them began to fade away.
‘It’s such a shame, especially before Christmas but Kym surrounded herself with family.’


Kym shares her daughter actress Emilie, 28, with ex David Cunliffe.
Kym has a 14-year-old daughter named Poppy, who she co-parents with her former husband and actor Jamie Lomas. Additionally, she is also the mother of a son named Archie, who was born 18 weeks premature in 2009 and tragically passed away shortly after birth.
Initially, Kym and Jamie crossed paths aboard a train while heading towards the 2007 TV Quick Awards. Later on in July 2008, their friendship blossomed into romance, which happened about a year before Kym officially parted ways with her then-husband Jack Ryder.
In 2021, she got married for the third time, specifically to soldier Scott Ratcliff. However, news of their separation became public knowledge in May 2023.
Previously, Kym paid an emotional homage to her eldest children’s father, David – the father of Emilie and David Junior, aged 31.
Regardless of parting ways in 1999, they’ve managed to keep a strong bond. The singer even refers to the builder as one of his dearest friends on earth.
In the year 1994, they crossed paths for the first time at a karaoke bar. After this meeting, they had two beautiful children together. However, their journey took a different path in 1999, just before Kym gained prominence as a contestant on the television talent show Popstars, ultimately leading to their separation.
Yet, they’ve developed a robust shared-parenthood and friendship rhythm, often seen sharing their joint experiences on various social platforms, courtesy of Kym.
