Kym Marsh Fires Back At Critics Attacking Her For Dating 29 Year Old Co-Star

Kym Marsh, the renowned actress and presenter, recently took to social media to defend her relationship with her new partner, Samuel Thomas, amidst a wave of online criticism. The 48-year-old star, best known for her role in “Coronation Street,” met the 29-year-old actor while both were starring in “101 Dalmatians The Musical.” Marsh has affectionately referred to Thomas as her “soulmate” in a heartfelt Instagram post.

In her Instagram post, Marsh shared a photobooth snapshot of the couple kissing, accompanied by a loving caption: “Met the most amazing man ever! Sometimes the most unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times. @samuelthomasuk I love you #beautiful #soulmate #loveyou.” Thomas reciprocated the sentiment with a simple but profound comment, “I love you.”

Thomas also shared a black and white photo of the couple on his Instagram, expressing his feelings with the caption: “I didn’t expect you, but here you are. I love you.” Marsh responded in kind, writing, “Ditto. The best things happen unexpectedly. Love you too.”

Despite the couple’s open display of affection and happiness, Marsh faced a barrage of negative comments online, with critics comparing Thomas to her eldest son David, who is also 29. Many commenters voiced their disapproval of the age difference, but Marsh and Thomas have remained steadfast in their support for one another.

Marsh, who split from her third husband 13 months ago, has not shied away from addressing the criticism. In a recent interview, she emphasized that love knows no boundaries and that her relationship with Thomas is based on mutual respect, understanding, and genuine connection. “People will always have opinions, but what matters is how we feel about each other,” Marsh stated. “Samuel is an amazing person, and I’m incredibly lucky to have found him.”

Thomas, equally unperturbed by the negativity, reiterated his commitment to Marsh. “Age is just a number,” he said. “Kym is an incredible woman, and our relationship is built on a solid foundation of love and respect. We’re happy, and that’s all that matters.”
