Kym Marsh ‘new boyfriend’
According to The Mirror, Kym’s friends have chimed in on her new relationship. They even reportedly expressed their concern regarding the couple’s romance: “Samuel seems a really nice lad and we are pleased for Kym and she seems really happy again. But it is a unique situation when you are working together on a show and spending so much time together.
I hope she doesn’t get hurt or it doesn’t fizzle out.
“The relationship will have to change when the show ends and they have their own lives and new projects to work on. Hopefully the spark will continue and the relationship will become a long term one. Kym is headstrong and throws herself into romance, I hope she doesn’t get hurt or it doesn’t fizzle out. Unfortunately she has had her fair share of bad luck in love.”
Regardless, Kym, 48, appears to be smitten with Samuel, 29. She gushed on social media: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou.”
