Kym Marsh is reportedly set to marry for the fourth time after becoming engaged to her fitness fanatic boyfriend, Tom Dickinson, just six months into their relationship. The actress, 49, began dating Tom in the autumn of last year, following the end of her whirlwind romance with Samuel Thomas, who was 19 years her junior.
Kym and Tom were introduced by friends, and Kym confirmed the romance by sharing photos of them together on Instagram. Now, it’s been revealed that Tom proposed to Kym in the most romantic way possible — by getting down on one knee beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Sources say Kym was ‘on cloud nine’ and said “yes” immediately, showing off her beautiful engagement ring. A source close to the couple revealed: “Their romance has been like a fairytale. Tom had planned the perfect proposal. Kym was overcome with emotion but immediately said yes.”
This will be Kym’s fourth marriage, after previously marrying army major Scott Ratcliff, Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, and EastEnders actor Jack Ryder.
Kym and Tom were first seen together in November, enjoying a day out in Bakewell, Derbyshire. In a casual look, Kym dressed in a cream tracksuit while makeup-free, her hair tied in a practical bun. It was earlier that month when Kym shared loved-up snaps with Tom, revealing she had joined the dating app Hinge after her split from Samuel.
Tom’s Instagram handle, @tom_dicko_, shows him to be an avid adventurer, with his bio listing numerous fitness challenges he has completed, including the Welsh 3000s Challenge, where he climbed all 15 mountains in Wales over 3000ft in just 24 hours.
The couple’s whirlwind romance seems to be moving quickly, with reports stating they’ve already shared nights away together and that Tom has met Kym’s daughter, Emilie. Sources close to Kym describe her as someone who fully immerses herself in relationships — and this one is no exception.
While Kym’s previous relationships have made headlines, this latest chapter appears to be bringing her joy. Fans are eager to see how Kym’s journey toward marriage unfolds, but one thing is clear — this engagement is moving at lightning speed.
