The couple, who recently got engaged, shared a kiss while walking hand-in-hand with their dog, with Kym’s stunning engagement ring sparkling in the sunlight.
The 49-year-old former Coronation Street actress looked radiant as she gazed lovingly at Tom, clearly basking in the joy of their recent engagement. Dressed casually but stylishly, Kym wore a black coat over a matching turtleneck jumper, pairing it with black trainers and leggings for a cozy outing. Tom, equally stylish, opted for a white jumper, brown jacket, and black jeans, completing the look with casual ease.
Engagement Bliss: A Fairytale Proposal in Paris
The romantic stroll came just days after Kym showed off her engagement ring for the first time during a dinner outing with Tom. According to reports, the couple’s relationship has been nothing short of a fairytale, with Tom’s proposal taking place in the most romantic city in the world, Paris.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Tom popped the question by the Eiffel Tower, with Kym reportedly saying “yes” immediately. A source shared with The Sun, “Tom had planned the perfect proposal and got down on one knee next to the Eiffel Tower. Kym was overcome with emotion, but she said yes immediately.

A Love That Moves Fast: Kym’s Fourth Marriage
This will be Kym’s fourth marriage, after previously marrying army major Scott Ratcliff, Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, and EastEnders actor Jack Ryder. Despite this being her fourth time down the aisle, Kym’s relationship with Tom seems to be blossoming quickly, with sources revealing the couple has already spent a night away together and that Tom has met Kym’s children.
Their relationship has moved fast, with Tom also joining Kym on outings with her friends, where he became the center of attention due to his good looks and charming nature. It seems Kym, known for diving fully into her relationships, is doing the same with Tom, and fans are loving the way they support each other.
Social Media Confirmation: Kym and Tom Go Public
The couple first sparked speculation about their relationship in October, when Kym shared a series of pictures with Tom on her Instagram, though she only officially identified him in her most recent post. The couple appeared to be enjoying a romantic moment together, with Kym posting a selfie-style photo that captured them sharing a sweet kiss. The post was full of love, with Kym’s followers congratulating the couple on their happy news.
Tom, who has a notable fitness background, is no stranger to tackling tough challenges, such as completing The Welsh 3000s Challenge, which involves climbing all 15 mountains over 3000ft in Wales within 24 hours. His adventurous spirit and charming demeanor have quickly won over Kym, as well as her fans.
Kym’s Past Relationships: A New Beginning
Kym’s journey to this engagement has not been without its challenges. She ended her relationship with ex-boyfriend Samuel just before Christmas in 2024, after the pair had toured together with 101 Dalmatians: The Musical. Although Kym had referred to Samuel as her “soulmate” on social media, the couple found it difficult to maintain their relationship once the tour concluded. Kym had to defend herself after revealing their romance, as Samuel is the same age as her eldest son, David.
The breakdown of her relationship with Samuel seems to have been a painful chapter for Kym, but she appears to have found happiness again in Tom, and their engagement marks a fresh start in her personal life.
A Family-Oriented Love
Kym’s children, including David, 30, Emilie, 28, and Poppy, 14, along with her late son Archie, will likely be just as thrilled about this new chapter in Kym’s life. Kym shares a particularly special bond with her children, who have supported her through various ups and downs, including the tragic loss of Archie, who was born prematurely in 2009.
Her relationship with Tom is bringing joy to not only Kym but also her family, as they welcome this new addition into their lives. Friends and loved ones are excited to see Kym so happy and in love again, and it seems her engagement with Tom is the start of something wonderful.
A Sweet Future Together
For Kym Marsh and Tom Dickinson, this engagement marks the beginning of a new and exciting journey together. With their love blossoming and their shared future looking bright, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on their wedding plans. Whether they’re strolling through the park, sharing intimate moments on social media, or enjoying their adventures together, Kym and Tom’s love story is one to watch.
As the couple continues to move forward with their relationship, it’s clear that their bond is stronger than ever. Kym is clearly overjoyed by the love and support she has found in Tom, and fans are wishing the couple nothing but happiness as they prepare for their special day ahead.
