On Saturday, Rylan Clark appeared completely smitten with his fairground worker boyfriend, Kennedy Bates. At the Radio 2 In The Park event in Essex, they showed affectionate signs and seemed very close.
As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but notice that at the ripe age of 36, the charismatic TV host was seen relishing multiple beverages under the sun with the handsome showman, aged 47. The duo was delightfully interacting with numerous companions in the exclusive VIP section of the festival.
Overflowing with happiness, Rylan beamed ear-to-ear, revealing his iconic bright smile, clearly thrilled to have his newfound love standing beside him.
It appears that Kennedy not only gained the approval of Linda, Rylan’s cherished mother, but also shared a seat with them.
Previously, Rylan confessed that his current partner is the first male companion he’s presented to his family since finalizing his divorce.
For six years, the celebrity from The X Factor was wedded to his former spouse Dan, but they parted ways in 2021 following the revelation that Rylan had been unfaithful.



Four years have passed, and it turns out that the TV celebrity is back in a relationship. His new partner is Kennedy, who runs the amusement park Billy Bates & Sons in Leicestershire.
Rylan disclosed a fresh romantic relationship while conducting an interview with celebrity Louis Theroux on his “How To Find Love” podcast, where he’s been chronicling his quest for romance.
I openly showed my affection for him, going out together on numerous public occasions. Yet, amazingly, it seemed to go unnoticed by those around us.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement when I heard that the dynamic duo has been discussing something truly heartwarming – starting a family! Rylan confided in Louis that he, along with his partner, is eager to embark on this beautiful journey and bring new life into their world.
Currently, Rylan expresses his contentment, attributing it to a new relationship he recently entered. He finds this experience exceptional and distinct from any past relationships, a positive indicator for him.
I’ve just introduced the first person in four years to my family, and I’m very happy about it. However, I haven’t exactly followed conventional social norms – like avoiding restaurants and keeping things low-key – instead, I’ve done quite the opposite.
As a self-proclaimed lifestyle aficionado, I’ve been rather subtle in my expression of expertise, perhaps even elusively so, yet I find myself secretly amused that my knowledge hasn’t exactly set the world ablaze with recognition – and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
However, despite the constraints posed by my work, and my wish to keep certain aspects private, I can’t afford to pass up this opportunity.



‘I’m loving what I’ve got at the minute and I want to keep it that way.’
In the course of our conversation later on, Louis shared some wisdom about sustaining a relationship over time, emphasizing that it becomes even more important to work things out when you have kids.
Louis inquired, ‘Have you been considering having children?’ To which Rylan responded, ‘Absolutely, I do want kids. So does he.’
Last week, during an appearance on the BBC Radio 2 show, Rylan announced that he’s now in a new relationship – following the playback of a segment from his podcast conversation with Louis.
At the close of the video, Lottie Uttley playfully inquired about any additional topics discussed, which led to a light-hearted interaction. Rylan initially pretended to ignore her queries, but eventually admitted that yes, he was currently involved with someone.
He mentioned, “Perhaps I suggested I was, it’s strange to utter it over the airwaves,” before acknowledging that he had “hidden it for such a prolonged period,” but he was, in fact, “in a relationship.
Lottie mentioned that she, along with her team, have encountered Rylan’s latest companion and found him to be quite charming. Moreover, Rylan himself expressed that he’s quite content and joyful in this new romantic connection.
Rylan playfully added that his romantic involvement with his long-term friend, Robert Rinder, could put an end to the ongoing rumors about their relationship.


It’s reported that the celebrity from This Morning has secretly been seeing a funfair worker named Kennedy for quite a few months now, and they’ve been practically inseparable during the summer.
Apparently, the arrival of this fresh individual has brought joy back to Rylan, and they seem to be cherishing their many moments spent together.
This summer, Rylan’s loved ones, both family and companions, have had the opportunity to get acquainted with him. They’ve enjoyed a series of concerts together, among which were the iconic performances of Oasis.
The insider told The Sun on Sunday: ‘They’re inseparable, they make a lovely couple.’
