Kym Marsh looked every inch the woman in love as she shared a series of tender moments with her new fiancé Tom Dickinson during a romantic park stroll.
The former Coronation Street star, 49, was seen kissing Tom, holding his hand and cosying up beside him on a bench as the couple enjoyed some quiet time together with their dog on Saturday. Beaming throughout the outing, Kym appeared completely smitten as she lovingly gazed at her fiancé, with her dazzling engagement ring clearly on show.
For the relaxed walk, Kym kept things understated in a black coat layered over a matching turtleneck jumper, black leggings and trainers, while Tom opted for a white jumper, brown jacket and black jeans.
The public display of affection came just a day after Kym was seen showing off her engagement ring for the first time during a family meal out, adding even more excitement to what has already become one of her most talked-about romances.
Kym is said to have found happiness again with fitness enthusiast Tom after the pair were introduced through mutual friends last year. Their relationship only became public in recent months, but it now appears to have moved at lightning speed.
She recently made things Instagram official by sharing a string of loved-up snaps and tagging Tom directly, finally confirming his identity to fans after previously only giving fleeting glimpses of their romance. In one particularly intimate post shared to Instagram Stories, the pair were seen enjoying a passionate kiss in selfie mode.
According to reports, Tom proposed in Paris beside the Eiffel Tower in a picture-perfect moment that left Kym overwhelmed. A source told The Sun: “Their romance has been like a fairytale. Tom had planned the perfect proposal and got down on one knee next to the Eiffel Tower.”
The insider added: “Kym was overcome, but she said yes immediately. She has the most beautiful ring and can’t wait to plan their special day.”
The engagement marks a major new chapter for Kym, who is now preparing for what would be her fourth marriage. She was previously married to army major Scott Ratcliff, actor Jack Ryder and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas.
Tom, whose Instagram profile lists a number of intense endurance challenges including The Welsh 3000s Challenge, is also said to have already become close to Kym’s inner circle. Reports have claimed he has met her daughter Emilie, joined nights out with her friends and made a strong impression.
A source previously said: “They have already enjoyed a night away together and he’s met her daughter Emilie, so things are moving fast.”
The insider continued: “He’s also been on nights out with her pals and was the centre of attention, which is no surprise because he’s so hunky. Kym always throws herself fully into everything – including relationships.”
Kym’s new romance comes after the end of her relationship with actor Samuel Thomas, whom she split from before Christmas in 2024 following their time together on tour with 101 Dalmatians: The Musical. At the time, her relationship drew headlines because Samuel was the same age as her eldest son, and Kym had publicly described him as her “soulmate”.
Now, however, the actress appears to have firmly turned the page — and judging by her smile, she could not look happier.
