Kym Marsh, 46, ‘splits from third husband’ Scott Ratcliff, 34, 18 months after tying the knot

Kym Marsh has reportledy split from third husband Scott Ratcliff just 18 months after tying the knot.

And the former Corrie actress, 46, appeared glum as she was spotted shopping with daughter Emilie, 26, on Thursday in exclusive pics obtained my MailOnline.

According to The Sun Kym and soldier Scott, 34, decided to end their marriage due to the strain of work, but ‘cracks’ had been present in the relationship for some time. 

The pressures of their careers led to the couple attempting a trial separation earlier this year, before deciding to officially split.

While mum-of-four Kym lives in Cheshire, Scott is based in barracks down south meaning the couple struggled to spend quality time together – and Kym’s intense Strictly rehearsals last year only put further strain on the marriage.

Kym stars in Waterloo Road, is a regular host of BBC1 daytime show Morning Live as well as appearing in theatre roles. 

A source said: ‘They both really tried to make it work, but the cracks have been there for a while and they were only getting to see each other for one or two days a week at the very most’.

They continued: ‘They had a trial separation earlier this year and were hoping to get things back on track but they’ve decided it’s best to go their separate ways.

‘It’s very sad for all involved, but they’ve decided it’s time to tell their family and friends and focus on the future — which means filing for divorce. They’re hoping to keep things as amicable as possible. Hopefully time will help to heal things.’

MailOnline have contacted Kym’s reps for comment. 

Kym was previously married to EastEnders’ Jack Ryder from 2002-2009 and Hollyoaks’ Jamie Lomas 2012-2014. 

Former Hear’Say singer Kym cut very sombre figure on the outing as she shopped for shoes before stopping by a bakery. 

She donned an animal print tracksuit which she teamed with a black leather biker jacket and comfy trainers. 

The former soap star often shares snaps and gushing tributes to her children on social media, however she seemingly has deleted all trace of Scott.

Despite this her profile still lists herself as a mum, actor and ‘Wife to Scott’.
