Kym Marsh breaks silence on split from husband after just 19 months of marriage

Emotional Kym Marsh has seemingly broken her silence on her split from husband Scott Ratcliff after just 19 months of marriage.

The former Coronation Street star, 46, and soldier Scott, 34, wed in October 2021 at a star-studded bash.

Scott is Kym's third husband after she previously tied the knot with actor Jack Ryder in 2002 and former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas ten years later.

But it's all over after just over a year-and-a-half as the actress announced the speculation is true.

Breaking her silence on her personal life in a new interview, Kym quipped: "It's just experience."

In the interview with The Guardian, Kym made the quip after being discussing how she has learned to be resilient with her personal struggles.

Sources close to Kym claim the pair have split due to work commitments after trying to make things work.

"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," the insider claims.

"Kym’s been so busy, and last year Strictly meant even her weekends were stacked up along with weekdays rehearsing."

Speaking to The Sun, the source added how "Scott is based in barracks down south — he’s got a very busy career as well."

Former Hear'Say star Kym married her man four months after announcing their engagement.

The pair wed at Sandhurst military academy in front of friends and family plus guests included telly star Carol Vorderman. Her former Corrie co-star Antony Cotton acted Master of Ceremonies.

Kym was keen to wed quickly after her father David, 76, was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer.

The actress and former pop star previously revealed it was her dream for her dad to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.

Kym’s children David, 27, Emilie, 24, and Polly, 11, all attended - with Scott’s daughter Renee, six, on the top table.

She is yet another Strictly contestant who became single after appearing on the BBC dance competition.

Strictly is linked to the infamous curse which saw a string of stars' and dancers' off-screen relationships breakdown over the past 19 years.

Many relationships ended because of the curse but many also blossomed as a result of the tight schedules and sexy dance moves.

However, Kym's ex Scott supposedly paid no mind to the curse that many people worry about.

Kym, who was recently partnered up with Graziano di Prima, said in October: "I know everyone talks about it but Scott really couldn’t care less.

"I’m an actor and he came and watched me on Fatal Attraction where I took my clothes off on stage, which was pretty daunting."
