Rylan Clark admits his new boyfriend is the first man he’s introduced to his family since his divorce – and they’ve already discussed having children

Rylan Clark openly shared that his latest partner is the first male companion he’s brought home to meet his family since his divorce.

In simpler terms, the celebrity from The X Factor, aged 36, had been married to his former spouse Dan for a span of six years until their divorce in 2021. Rylan himself confessed that he had been unfaithful during their marriage.

As a loyal admirer, I am excited to share that four years after our separation, I found myself in a new relationship with an extraordinary individual named Kennedy. She is notably a prominent figure at Billy Bates & Sons funfair in Leicestershire. I disclosed this joyous news last week.

In a recent episode of his “How To Be In Love” podcast, where he’s been exploring the quest for romantic connections, he disclosed his new relationship during an interview with celebrity Louis Theroux.

Rylan openly displayed his romantic involvement by going out on numerous public dates with a man, yet surprisingly, no one seemed to notice.

Additionally, they’ve contemplated starting a family, with Rylan mentioning to Louis that he and his new partner share this desire for children.

Rylan expressed that he is currently feeling extremely content. Lately, he has found himself in a new relationship, one that he finds exceptional and unlike any other he’s experienced before, which he takes as a positive indication for him.

I’ve just met someone for the first time in four years who I’ve introduced to my family, and I’m overjoyed about it. Normally, I would have been cautious and kept a low profile, avoiding restaurants and other social activities. However, this time around, I decided to do something different, and I’ve been openly enjoying my time with them instead of keeping it a secret.

It seems nobody has caught on, but my assertiveness might be coming off as a touch arrogant, which I can’t help but admit to with a sense of pride.

However, even though I have a job and would rather keep it private, I find myself unwilling to miss out on this particular aspect.

‘I’m loving what I’ve got at the minute and I want to keep it that way.’

In our subsequent conversation, Louis offered guidance on maintaining long-term relationships, emphasizing the importance of finding solutions more frequently once you have kids.

Louis inquired if that was something Rylan had been contemplating, and Rylan responded affirmatively by expressing his desire for children, with the addition that Louis shares a similar aspiration.

On his BBC Radio 2 program, Rylan played a video for his fellow star Lottie while simultaneously announcing it live.

Towards the finale of the video, Lottie playfully inquired if anything more had been discussed, which ignited a lighthearted banter. Rylan initially dodged her questions with humor, but eventually admitted that yes, he was dating someone.

He expressed something like: “It feels strange to confess this over the airwaves, but I might have mentioned that I’ve been…” Before acknowledging that he had hidden it for quite some time, however, the truth is, he was involved with someone.

Lottie mentioned that she, along with her team, found Rylan’s latest companion delightful. The former X Factor contestant further shared that Rylan appears to be happy and incredibly satisfied in his new romance.

Additionally, Rylan playfully hinted that their romantic involvement would put an end to rumors about him dating his close friend, Robert Rinder, for a long time.

It is reported that the star of “This Morning” has been secretly dating a funfair worker named Kennedy for quite some time, and they have been practically joined at the hip during the summer months.

A source reports that this recent fellow has undeniably brought a cheerful expression back to Rylan, and they seem to be relishing the time they’ve been spending together.

This summer, Rylan’s loved ones – his family and friends – have had the chance to get acquainted with him. They’ve been enjoying a series of concerts together, among them, the legendary band Oasis.

The insider told The Sun on Sunday: ‘They’re inseparable, they make a lovely couple.’ 

DailyMail contacted Rylan’s representatives for comment.
