Kym Marsh announces baby news after splitting up with 'soulmate' toyboy
Coronation Street star, Kym Marsh, has shared some 'thrilling' baby news with her followers after calling it quits with her 'soulmate' boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, this year
Kym Marsh has got some exciting baby news after revealing her daughter Emilie, 27, is pregnant. The Hear'Say star, 49, who is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time, shared the happy news four months after she called it quits with her boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, 30, who she previously described as her 'soulmate'.
Taking to Instagram, posting a snap of her grandson and granddaughter proudly holding a baby scan, sporting Big Brother and Big Sister t.shirts, Kym wrote: "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!"
Responding to the post, one of the actress' followers 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, whose son, David, also has a child, first became a grandparent when she was 42. However she admitted she didn't relish being called 'Grandma' and so changed it to Yaya on grandson Teddy's request before finding out the name was Greek for 'grandma'.
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 baby news comes four months after she called it day 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.
Talking 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.'

All About Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who rose to fame with her six children after starring on the E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Here's what Kris has been up to: Kris was first married to the late Robert Kardashian, famously known as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney in his 1995 murder trial. They shared four children: daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, and a son, Robert The former couple were married from 1978 until 1991. Following their divorce, Kris tied the knot with former Olympian, Bruce Jenner, who also appeared on KUWTK. The pair shared two daughters, Kendall and Kylie. They split in 2015, around the time that Bruce transitioned and changed her name to Caitlyn. Kris met her current boyfriend, Corey Gamble, in August 2014, and they have been together ever since. Kris manages her daughters' widely-successful careers and they've continued their reality TV run with The Kardashians on Hulu, shortly after KUWTK ended. The home would be familiar to Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans, as it was a staple of filming the reality show for over 11 years. According to an insider, the house 'hasn't had any good enough offers.' 'People have complained it's way overpriced for what it is. There has also been a lot of concern over wildfire danger and the lack of insurance available for that. 'The home is gorgeous, everyone agrees on that. But in order to get someone to bite, they'll need to make the price lower,' the real estate source claimed.

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has hit out at her ex boyfriend Gary Lucy as she cheers to 'single mums' on Fathers Day and says she feels bad for her daughter Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has taken a swipe at her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy on Father's Day as she told her social media followers that she feels bad for her 2-year-old daughter Bonnie. Laura and Gary started dating after they both appeared on Channel 4 's Celebs Go Dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter together in 2023. Despite them splitting up while Laura was pregnant, the couple attempted reconciliation ahead of the birth of their daughter, Bonnie, in September 2023. They were seen together in Scotland, and Gary was present during the labour and delivery, however, it wasn't meant to be, and they split again. Laura took to social media on Father's Day wearing a pink top and her hair styled in waves as she took a dig at her daughter's dad. Posing with a slight smile and her thumb up, Laura wrote: "Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day.' Gary revealed their split to The Sun in February 2023 when Laura was pregnant. He said: "I love Laura, but we are no longer together. My main drive as always, is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby." In 2024, Laura began a new relationship with footballer Clark Robertson, whom she had reportedly known for several years. They went Instagram official in October 2024 and recently moved in together. Laura keeps her followers updated on her life as a mum on Instagram and recently received backlash for going on a romantic getaway with her new boyfriend, without her daughter. After sharing a bunch of loved-up snaps online, Laura swiftly hit back at the nasty online trolls who tried to guilt-trip her about her picture-perfect getaway. Laura told her followers: 'Just to clarify, I do not feel guilty at all for holidaying without my child. Neither should you! Bonnie and I have holidayed together a lot, and it's pretty obvious I'm a lone parent and look after her myself. l 100% deserve as many breaks as I see fit." She said: 'I truly worry about the children of the women judging online and spreading hate. Spend your time reading your child a book instead of trolling me.' The former Love Island star added: 'I'm also not afraid to say I know l am an unbelievable mother, so your trolling doesn't affect me. It just makes me sad that my daughter is growing up in a world like this. I truly hope you heal.' A source claimed to OK! that the online backlash has been deeply unpleasant for the mum, but she's doing her best not to let it get under her skin. They said 'Laura doesn't feel she's done anything wrong – apart from having a good time on holiday with her boyfriend, and sharing her posts, like many of us do." 'She adores her daughter and is absolutely devoted to her. It's horrible for her to read these comments – but she's her own woman, she won't let it stop her living her life or let it destroy her happiness.'
