Kym Marsh Plans Fourth Wedding Amidst Concerns Over Whirlwind Romance
The former Hear'Say singer is reportedly set to marry fiancé Tom Dickinson next summer, her sixth proposal and fourth marriage.
Kym Marsh is reportedly planning her fourth wedding to fiancé Tom Dickinson, with the ceremony expected to take place next summer following her reunion tour with the band Hear'Say. This will mark her sixth proposal and fourth trip down the aisle, occurring after a whirlwind romance that began last autumn.
Marsh, 50, accepted Dickinson's proposal in March during a trip to Paris. Despite past relationships and a public history of engagements, sources close to Marsh indicate she believes Dickinson is her 'happy ever after' and is undeterred by her previous marital experiences. The couple has reportedly already begun selecting bridesmaids and looking at wedding venues.
Friends and some followers have expressed concerns about the rapid pace of the relationship. Marsh has previously described partners as her 'soulmate,' leading to some public skepticism. Her past relationships include a marriage to actor Jack Ryder (2002-2009) and a subsequent marriage to Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas (2012-2014), with whom she shares a daughter. She was also engaged to personal trainer Dan Hooper and later married Army Major Scott Ratcliff in October 2021, divorcing in May 2023.
Marsh's most recent public relationship prior to Dickinson was with actor Samuel Thomas, a relationship that reportedly ended eight months before she began dating Dickinson. Her Instagram posts about Dickinson have been met with both supportive messages and critical comments regarding her relationship history.
Supporters have encouraged Marsh to ignore negative comments, highlighting her happiness and the couple's visible connection. Marsh herself has expressed strong feelings for Dickinson, calling him her 'best friend' and 'rock' on social media.
Marsh has four children: David and Emilie, from her relationship with David Cunliffe; daughter Polly with ex-husband Jamie Lomas; and son Archie, who passed away shortly after birth in 2009. She also has four grandchildren who she wishes to include in the wedding festivities.
