KYM Marsh has found love again 19 years her junior a year after her third divorce.

The soap star, 48, went Instagram official with her new man Samuel Thomas, 29, earlier this month.

Kim’s new romance comes a year after her divorce from Scott Ratcliff.

The love birds met working together on 101 Dalmations: The Musical, which launched a tour of the UK on June 22.

Sharing a snap of the pair smooching, Kym confessed: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou.”

Samuel also posted: “I didn’t expect you, but here you are. I love you.”

Over the years, the actress has had a number of romances in the public eye.

Let’s have a look at some of her past relationships…

Kym was married to army major Scott Ratcliff between 2021 and 2023.

The pair – who met in 2018 – announced their engagement in 2021 and tied the knot the same year.

But in May last year The Sun revealed Kym called time on her relationship because of the strain of their jobs.

A source said a the time: “They both really tried to make it work, but the cracks have been there for a while and they were only getting to see each other for one or two days a week at the very most.

“Kym’s been so busy, and last year Strictly meant even her weekends were stacked up along with weekdays rehearsing.

“More recently she’s been filming all over the place and rehearsing for a new theatre run.

“And Scott is based in barracks down south — he’s got a very busy career as well.

“Kym’s still a working mum, too, and lives up in Cheshire with her family. In the end it was the fact they lived so far away from each other that just made it impossible.

“They had a trial separation earlier this year and were hoping to get things back on track but they’ve decided it’s best to go their separate ways.

“It’s very sad for all involved, but they’ve decided it’s time to tell their family and friends and focus on the future — which means filing for divorce. They’re hoping to keep things as amicable as possible. Hopefully time will help to heal things.”

Kym and Hollyoaks legend Jamie started dating in 2009.

The former couple tied the knot in 2012, but they divorced two years later.

They are proud parents to their daughter Polly – and recently reunited to celebrate her 13th birthday.

Kym has recently spoken about her “good relationship” with her ex.

She told The Mirror: “We have a very good relationship, Jamie and I. Polly has a good relationship with her dad…

“We have nothing bad to say about each other.”

Jamie and Kym tragically lost their son Archie moments after his birth in February 2009.

Kym’s first marriage was with EastEnders actor Jack Ryder.

They crossed paths in the BBC canteen while she was doing Top of the Pops and he was starring as Jamie Mitchell in the BBC soap.

The pair tied the knot in 2002.

But then in 2008 they decided to go their separate ways, and their divorce was announced the following year.

Kim is also proud mum to son David and Emilie, from a relationship with Dave Cunliffe.
