It’s been a sad time for Kym Marsh, who is said to have split for good with her husband of almost 19 months, Army major Scott Ratcliff. Spotted out still wearing her wedding ring, the former Coronation Street actress, 46, who presents Morning Live and now appears in Waterloo Road, looked sombre as she was snapped shopping with daughter Emilie Cunliffe.
Speaking about the reasons for the couple’s separation, a source tells new, “Kym and Scott are both saddened by the split. Unfortunately, distance and career paths led to the breakdown.”
Although the break-up is amicable, they point to the differences – and distance – between the pair, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Sandhurst military academy in October 2021. “They had a trial split earlier this year after their first anniversary. Friends thought it was just a glitch and they would get back together but it just hasn’t resolved itself,” said the source.
Kym, who has recently taken the lead role of Rachel Lumberg in Take That musical Greatest Days, will at least have plenty to take her mind off things as she embarks on a seven-month countrywide tour. She’ll no doubt be relieved to have the support of Emilie, who is playing the younger version of Rachel in the production.
Meanwhile, 34-year-old Scott – “Ratty” to his friends – who serves with the Parachute Regiment, will continue to be based in his barracks in the south of England.
