Kym Marsh has joined the dating app Hinge and indicated that the next man she dates must be able to “make her laugh until her ribs hurt,” the Daily Mail reported, citing The Sun. The Coronation Street actress and presenter, 49, is said to have completed a profile on the app after ending her relationship with Samuel Thomas, 29, earlier this year.
According to the report, Marsh describes herself on Hinge as an "actor and presenter" who enjoys a lie-in, dog walks and roast dinners on an ideal Sunday. Her profile reportedly also includes a jokey line that dating her is like "being on the Truman Show, but it’s never boring!" The pictures on the profile were said to show Marsh cuddling two dogs and posing for the camera. The Mail said the split from Thomas, 19 years her junior, followed a six-month relationship.
Marsh is best known for her long-running role on Coronation Street and for presenting work on television. Reports of her joining a dating app come after the widely reported end of her recent romance. The age difference between Marsh and Thomas was noted in coverage of their relationship, which outlets described as a brief romance that lasted roughly six months.
Hinge, the app Marsh reportedly joined, markets itself toward users seeking serious relationships, encouraging prompts and detailed profiles rather than quick swipes. Marsh’s reported profile details — emphasising humour, everyday routines and pets — align with those prompts, which are designed to help users convey personality and interests.
The report was published by the Daily Mail and referenced The Sun as its source for the Hinge profile details. Marsh has not publicly commented to the Mail regarding the profile or the reported requirements for a future partner. Neither Marsh nor representatives for Samuel Thomas provided a statement to the publications cited in the reports.
Marsh's public profile and past media coverage have frequently drawn attention to her private life, including her relationships and family. Coverage of celebrities joining dating apps has increased in recent years as public figures use those platforms to seek partners while managing media scrutiny. This article reflects details reported by the Daily Mail and the Sun; neither Marsh nor Hinge issued an independent confirmation of the profile to the publications cited.
