Kym Marsh's colourful love life as she splits from husband after 19 months

Kym Marsh has reportedly split from third husband Scott Ratcliff just 19 months after their star-studded wedding.

The former soap star, 46, and ex-soldier Scott, 34, got married in front of guests at a lavish ceremony in October 2021, but it seems the couple have called time on their relationship less than two years on.

It has been reported by a source close to the Hear'Say singer, who claimed that work commitments have been to blame for the demise of their marriage 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 source claims.
