Kym reportedly met her new beau while starring in 101 Dalmatians The Musical. It seems their relationship has gone from strength to strength, as Kym wasn’t afraid to gush about her new partner on social media.
She penned in the caption of the loved-up snap: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou.”
Samuel commented: “I love you.”
The Tom Dearly actor also shared his own tribute to Kym, with a romantic black and white photo of himself embracing the star whilst she sat on his lap. He wrote in the caption: “I didn’t expect you, but here you are. I love you.”
Kym replied in the comments: “Ditto. The best things happen unexpectedly. Love you too.”
Meanwhile, some social media users were less than impressed and left some cruel comments. One person fumed: “Did she just get married? Literally can’t keep up…”
You said that about the last bloke the other year.
Another said: “Isn’t that her son and his girlfriend.”
A third slammed: “He looks like your son. I was so confused for a sec as I thought it was an inappropriate kiss with David.”

Kym Marsh defends new relationship
Regardless, Kym made sure she defended herself. One person wrote: “Jesus another amazing man. 5 minute wonder. He looks like your son,” to which she hit back: “Do one.”
Another said: “You said that about the last bloke the other year,” to which Kym replied: “Why don’t you go do one.”
The star’s followers were also quick to defend her new love, with one stating: “I cannot believe the amount of people who have jumped on this post straightaway, to just post negative [bleep]. This is a human being sharing their good news, this is a woman who has lost her father not long ago and has found happiness by the looks of it.
“Most of these comments are from women as well, which somehow always makes it worse when it comes to another woman being content and happy. I can only think it’s jealousy or just being completely miserable in your own lives.”
Kym also agreed, replying to the lengthy comment with her thanks.
Another said: “I’m so happy for you Kym! You deserve all the happiness!!”
A third wrote: “Ahh love this. You deserve all the happiness in the world.”
