Former Coronation Street favourite Kym Marsh has officially stepped into the spotlight with her new man, sending fans into a frenzy with the romantic revelation. The 48-year-old actress and presenter has confirmed her relationship with co-star Samuel Thomas, 29, after the pair met while working together on the theatre production of Father Brown.
Marsh took to social media to share the happy news, posting several adorable photographs with her new beau during a romantic getaway. The couple appeared blissfully happy in the images, which showed them smiling and embracing against picturesque backdrops.
From Stage Romance to Real-Life Relationship
The pair first connected while performing together earlier this year, with their professional chemistry quickly blossoming into something more personal. Friends close to the couple report that they've been growing increasingly close over recent months.
'They're absolutely smitten with each other,' revealed an insider. 'It's been wonderful to see Kym so happy again. They share a great sense of humour and similar outlooks on life.'
Age Gap No Barrier for Happy Couple
Despite the 19-year age difference between them, friends say the couple are perfectly matched. Thomas, who previously appeared in BBC's Doctors, has been described as 'grounded and mature,' qualities that have clearly resonated with Marsh.
The actress, who shares two children with ex-partner Jamie Lomas, has been open about her relationship struggles in the past. Her new romance marks a fresh chapter for the television personality, who has focused on her career and family in recent years.
Fans Show Overwhelming Support
Social media has been flooded with positive messages from well-wishers, with many commenting on how radiant Marsh looks in the couple photographs. 'So happy for you both!' wrote one follower, while another added: 'You deserve all the happiness in the world.'
