Kym Marsh makes dig at her exes as she goes public with her new 'soulmate'

Former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh went public with her new man, Samuel Thomas, a year after her split from husband Scott Ratcliffe

Kym Marsh made a dig at her ex-partners after going Instagram official with her new boyfriend, Samuel Thomas.

Over the weekend, the former Coronation Street actress, 48, posted a picture on Instagram where she was seen sharing a kiss with her 101 Dalmatians - The Musical co-star Samuel Thomas, referring to him as the "most amazing man". She wrote as the caption: "Met the most amazing man ever!

"Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou". After going official on social media, she took to her Stories to share a loved-up quote with her fans. The quote read: "Someday someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you've never seen.

"They'll look at you like you're everything they've been looking for their entire lives. Wait for it." Her new relationship with the 29-year-old actor comes one year after she famously split from her Army Major husband Scott Ratcliffe, following a whirlwind two-year marriage.

Kym and Scott originally tied the knot in October 2021 in a romantic ceremony involving 150 guests. They seemed lucky in love initially, but they parted ways in May 2023, only 19 months after saying 'I do'. When discussing her failed marriage with The Guardian, the soap star said it was 'just experience.'

She added: "I think I am a risk-taker because ‘What if?’ is always worse." Before tying the knot to Scott, Kym was in a number of high-profile romances with celebrities, including former EastEnders star Jack Ryder, who she fell for after meeting in a BBC canteen. According to reports, she fell for the Jamie Mitchell actor in 2001 when she bumped into him in the staff canteen.

They were quick to fall for one another and began to date. It wasn't long before they tied the knot at St. Albans parish church in Hertford in 2002. They were together for six years before ending it in 2008. Their divorce was finalised in 2009. She later fell for another soap star, fellow Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas.

Within a year, she fell pregnant. Sadly, in a heartbreaking twist, at just 21 weeks she went into labour because of a condition that meant her body was rejecting the baby. This meant that her son Archie sadly died just minutes after being born. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2011, married in 2012 and divorced in 2014.

She also dated Coronation Street co-star Oliver Mellor in 2013.
