Kym Marsh has joined dating app Hinge and set out a blunt requirement for prospective partners: they must “make her laugh until her ribs hurt,” according to media reports.
The Coronation Street actress and presenter, 49, is said to have created a profile describing herself as an “actor and presenter” who enjoys lie-ins, dog walks and roast dinners on a typical Sunday. Her profile also included a tongue-in-cheek line comparing dating her to being “on the Truman Show, but it’s never boring,” the reports said.
Photos on the profile reportedly show Marsh cuddling two dogs and posing for the camera. The details were first published by The Sun and picked up in coverage by other outlets on Sept. 6, 2025.
The Hinge activity comes after Marsh ended a six-month relationship with Samuel Thomas, 29. The relationship, reported as a romance between Marsh and a partner 19 years her junior, drew tabloid attention during its run; the split was described as recent in reports.
Marsh rose to national prominence for her role on the long-running soap Coronation Street and has worked as a television presenter. The Hinge profile, as described in media accounts, emphasises humour and everyday pastimes rather than celebrity trappings, and includes casual, candid imagery intended to convey personality and family life with pets.
Representatives for Marsh and for Hinge did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The reporting did not include direct comment from Marsh about the profile beyond the quoted profile text.
Public interest in celebrities’ use of mainstream dating apps has grown in recent years as performers and presenters increasingly engage directly with fan and dating platforms; media outlets often report on profile details when they are publicly visible. Marsh’s move to a mainstream dating app follows the widely reported end of her most recent relationship and represents a return to the public dating sphere for the actress.
