IT was only three months ago that Kym Marsh happily declared her son was the only man she needs in her life - but now the actress has revealed she has found love again. Former Corrie star Kym, 48, has fallen for her 29-year-old theatre show co-star Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior. After sharing her new romance on social media, she swiftly shut down one cruel troll who said that he looked like her eldest son David , who was born the same year as Samuel.
Kym shot back on Instagram: "Do one." The couple met working together on 101 Dalmations: The Musical, with the actress calling him her “soulmate.” Their unexpected romance comes after the actress split from her third husband Scott Ratcliff , 35, last year.
Samuel also posted: "I didn’t expect you, but here you are. I love you." And Kym, who is also mum to Emilie, 27, and 13-year-old Polly, isn’t the only soap star to believe age is just a number when it comes to their love life.
EastEnders star Michelle, 62, revealed last month that a psychic told her she would meet 'the love of her life' as she got close to her 50th birthday, and went on to meet her toyboy husband Mike Davidson, now 39, just months later. The actress - who returned to the soap as fan favourite Cindy Beal last year following a 25-year hiatus - met Mike in 2012 after being set up on a date with him by her niece. Speaking in 2016, Michelle admitted she hated the word cougar , often used to describe an older woman who dates younger men.
