After months of keeping her private life close to the chest, Kym Marsh has finally been spotted out and about with her new boyfriend.
The actress, 49, enjoyed a relaxed day out in the picturesque town of Bakewell this past Saturday, showing off a loved-up side that fans have been eagerly waiting to see.
A New Chapter After Past Romance
This new relationship comes roughly eight months after Kym ended a whirlwind romance with Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior.
Their six-month relationship ended in February, leaving Kym ready to embrace a fresh start in her love life.
Introducing Tom to the World
Kym has now officially introduced her new man, Tom, on social media.
Last week, she shared a series of Instagram photos tagging his account, confirming the romance.
The couple appeared inseparable during their weekend outing, walking hand-in-hand through the streets after a shopping trip.
Kym kept things casual in a cream tracksuit, featuring a cropped hoodie and wide-leg trousers.
She went makeup-free for the stroll and styled her hair in a practical bun, showing that comfort and style can go hand-in-hand.
Social Media Affection and Shared Adventures
Earlier this month, Kym had already hinted at her blossoming romance by posting intimate snaps with Tom.
On Instagram Stories, she shared a selfie showing the pair sharing a smooch, putting their newfound love on display for fans to see.
Tom’s Instagram bio highlights his adventurous side, listing feats such as the Welsh 3000s Challenge, which involves climbing all 15 Welsh peaks over 3,000 feet within 24 hours.
Sources suggest the couple met through mutual friends, and while Kym had shared photos of Tom intermittently, this was the first time she officially identified him online.
Moving Fast and Meeting Family
According to insiders, things are progressing quickly for the couple.
“They’ve already enjoyed a night away together and he’s met her daughter Emilie,” a source told The Sun.
“He’s been out with her friends and was the centre of attention—it’s no surprise because he’s so hunky.
Kym always throws herself fully into everything, including relationships.”
Back on the Dating Scene
Kym’s return to dating was first reported last month after she joined the app Hinge.
Her profile emphasized that her future partner must make her “laugh until her ribs hurt” and showcased her personality with humorous touches.
She described herself as an “actor and presenter” who loves “lie-ins, dog walks, and roast dinners” and joked that dating her is like “being on the Truman Show, but it’s never boring.”
Her photos included snapshots with her dogs, as well as playful pouts, reflecting both her warmth and wit.
Family and Past Relationships
Kym’s personal life has always been in the public eye. She shares two adult children—David, 30, and actress Emilie, 28—with her ex David Cunliffe.
She is also mother to 14-year-old Poppy with ex-husband and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, and she previously experienced the heartbreak of losing her son Archie, born prematurely in 2009.
Kym and Jamie first met on a train heading to the 2007 TV Quick Awards, later developing a romance in 2008, a year before her divorce from ex-husband Jack Ryder.
Despite a life full of ups and downs, Kym appears ready to embrace new love while balancing family life.
Finding Love and Laughter Again
With her new romance officially public, Kym Marsh seems to be stepping confidently into a fresh chapter.
Between her weekend outings with Tom, playful social media posts, and her willingness to enjoy life’s lighter moments, it’s clear she’s ready to move forward with love, laughter, and plenty of adventure.
