Kym Marsh makes baby news announcement after split from 'soulmate' toyboy
Kym is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time.
Kym Marsh has shared some exciting baby news as her daughter Emilie, 27, is pregnant. The Hear'Say icon is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time, sharing the happy news four months on from her split with her boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, 30, who she previously described as her 'soulmate'.
The 49-year-old shared an adorable snap of her grandson and granddaughter proudly holding a baby scan, sporting Big Brother and Big Sister t.shirts, alongside it Kym penned: "I am so thrilled to share the news!!! Grandchild number 4… incoming!!! Congratulations to my beautiful daughter @listentoemilie, my wonderful son in law @mikeyhoz and Teddy and Polly!! Can't wait to meet you little one!
Many of the actress' friends and followers sent their congratulations to her on the post, one replied: "Congratulations to Emilie, Michael, Polly and Teddy. So thrilled for you all." While a second added: "The best news, so happy for your family."
Kym first became a grandparent when she was just 42. However she admitted that she wouldn't go by the name 'Grandma' and so changed it to Yaya on grandson Teddy's request before finding out the name was Greek for 'grandma', according to The Mirror.
Speaking to CBeebies about her family, she said: "I always knew I would be a young grandparent because of how old I was when I had my children.
"I was 42 when I found out I was going to be a grandparent. It still came as a bit of a shock but I was so excited.
"Both me and Emilie's dad were thrilled to bits. Then, of course, meeting Teddy was on another level."
She continued: "I'm still a very busy person, but as a grandma I try to make as much time as I can. I like to think they will all grow up knowing that, even though I'm busy, I will always be there for them."
Kym's happy news comes four months after she split with actor, Samuel, who she met while performing in 101 Dalmatians The Musical. Despite referring to the 30-year-old as her 'soulmate', Kym split with her co-star after six months.
The mum-of-three, who has been married three times, met Samuel after she split up from her third husband, Scott Ratcliff. Fans thought Samuel, who is the same age as Kym's eldest child, David Cunliffe, may propose. But now it's all over, with Kym insisting she'll never walk down the aisle again.
Kym opened up to the Independent about her future plans as she got ready to star in a theatre production of Abigail's Party in April, playing Beverley, she said of the seventies - when the play was written: "You were expected to get married back then. It was almost a little girl's dream.
'But not for Kym Marsh. I've been married three times, and three times it's not gone well – so no more for me. Three strikes and I'm out.'

The best pictures as Welsh-language festival Tafwyl attracts thousands
Wales has a lot to be proud of. Steeped in history, fiercely independent in its identity, and with its own thriving language, there is a lot to cover in Welsh culture. Welsh festival Tafwyl, which took place in Cardiff's gorgeous Bute Park on Saturday, June 14, and Sunday, June 15, certainly does a very good job bringing together a lot of Welsh culture. There is so much to enjoy at Tawfyl, from the two music stages, endless food options, children's area, and more. As soon as you enter you are hit by the delicious smell of a range of street food and nearly overwhelmed with the Instagram opportunities, as two lovely signs declaring Tafwyl welcome you in. After that, you could mingle and mooch around the trade stalls which are fronted by Welsh artists, designers, and makers, selling everything from prints to jewellery and more. The festival was home to the Tafiliwn stage and the main stage, Prif Lwyfan. Here Welsh artists from across the country took to the stage bringing everything from rap to even renditions of Dolly Parton and Abba in Welsh. Lining the sides of this are the amazing food traders including Hoggi Hoggi Hoggi, Greek options, vegan and vegetarian options, paella, and more. Tafwyl really is for everyone. Welsh speakers, non-Welsh speakers. Old, young, and everyone in between. Families, couples, friends, and every combination possible. Many enjoyed going to Tafwyl and here are some of the best pictures from Tafwyl 2025.

He added: 'I've been thinking a lot about a diary entry that I found from 1997. 'It's this one. I was 14 years old, it says although I would love to be a stand-up comedian, I'll probably end up being a teacher. And I've been thinking a lot about that.' A post shared by Jon Richardson (@jonrichardsoncomedian) "I've loved being a comedian, it was absolutely the right choice. But I've decided it would've been nice to try the other option, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do." The comedian went on to share that he had accepted a teaching job, telling fans: 'I've been doing some training, I've taken a teaching position. I will update you as and when I can.

Nicola Peltz pays sweet tribute to her dad and snubs father-in-law David Beckham
Nicola failed to mention her father-in-law in her social media post celebrating Father's Day. Nicola Peltz posted a sweet Father's Day tribute to her dad Nelson Peltz on Instagram, but failed to mention her father-in-law David Beckham. This comes as another blow to David and Victoria Beckham amid their ongoing fallout with their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife. Nicola wed David and Victoria's firstborn child back in 2022 and once appeared to be rather close with the famous family. However, after their lavish wedding things started to go downhill and things really came to a head when Nicola and Brooklyn, 26, snubbed David's 50th birthday celebrations, according to The Mirror. At the time, the couple both didn't publicly acknowledge the footballing icon's milestone birthday and they snubbed all of his celebrations despite being in London and ever since Brooklyn has continued to prove his loyalties to his wife as he failed to post anything when David was awarded a knighthood from King Charles earlier in the week. Now, as today is Father's Day, Nicola shared a gushing tribute to her own dad on Instagram but not her father-in-law. She shared a series of photos throughout the years with her dad Nelson alongside a touching caption. Nicola wrote: "Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father's Day dad." Brooklyn's younger brothers Romeo and Cruz shared sweet posts for David online. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: " Happy Father's Day, I love you x." Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: "love you." Wife Victoria also shared a Father's Day post to David, she penned: " Happy Father's Day Sir @DavidBeckham!!! We love you so much." In a video clip of David and their children, she penned: "Happy Father's Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so much." David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: "My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what... "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine." Brooklyn did not share a post for David on his social media. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
