Kym Marsh ditches her wedding ring as she makes her first public appearance after ‘split’

Kym Marsh made her first public appearance on Wednesday evening after reporting that she had split from her third husband Scott Ratcliff.

The Waterloo Road actress, 46, is said to have parted ways with 34-year-old Scott just 19 months into their marriage.

Kym hit the red carpet for the Pride Of Manchester Awards at The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel – but her wedding and engagement ring were noticeably missing.

The soap star ditched the diamond sparklers in favor of a beautiful teardrop ring she wore on her middle finger.

The former Hear’Say member showed no signs of heartbreak as she joined her daughter Emilie, 26, Emilie’s fiancé Mikey Hoszowskyj and son David, 28, for the evening to celebrate Greater Manchester’s unsung heroes.

Kym exuded glamor in a strapless dress that hugged her figure and showed a hint of cleavage with a nude panel on the cleavage.

She completed the look with open-toed heels and a sparkly handbag, while her hair was styled in a quiff.

Kym beamed for the cameras as she posed alongside her daughter, who also opted for a black ensemble for the evening.

It’s because Kym reportedly erased husband Scott from her Instagram bio following their shock split.

Kym has removed “wife to Scott” from her Instagram profile, according to her The mirror.

Over the weekend, Kym was seen for the first time since the dissolution of her marriage was reported and her engagement and wedding ring were conspicuously absent.

The couple is said to have separated after a trial separation due to work keeping them apart.

A source told The sun“They both really tried to make it happen, but the cracks had been there for a while and they only saw each other once or twice a week.

“Kym has been so busy, and last year (when she was on Strictly Come Dancing) meant that even her weekends were packed with rehearsing during the week, more recently she’s filming everywhere and rehearsing for a new theater show.”

The insider added how Army Major Scott’s work drove a wedge between him and Kym, saying: ‘Scott is stationed in a barracks down south – he has a very busy career too. Kym is also still a working mother and lives with her family in Cheshire. In the end it was the fact that they lived so far from each other that it was impossible.’

The source said the couple “had a trial separation earlier this year” and are “hoping to get things back on track,” but added that they’ve decided “it’s best to go their separate ways.”

In January last year, two days after their October 2021 wedding, Kym revealed that Scott had been sent away for two weeks – something she ‘didn’t expect’ and labeled life as an army wife as ‘pretty grim’ due to the distance.

In addition to the stress of their distance, she admitted that the danger of his job compounded the problem, worrying about war.

She said, “There’s always fear, it’s always stressful when he leaves. There may not be an actual threat of war right now, but there is always a risk when you are in these dangerous places.”

In addition to her assessment of the distance in their lives, she also spoke of how Strictly exacerbated her anxiety — with training consistent with Scott’s time away from the Parachute Regiment — which led the pair to barely see each other.

Speak against OK! in January 2022 she said, ‘It was really good. Well I say that but we got married and two days later Scott was sent away for two weeks and we didn’t expect that! That was a bit grim, but it’s just part of being an army wife…

“It felt like on my honeymoon I could celebrate being Mrs. Ratcliff.”

Scott explained why he had to leave his new wife so soon after the wedding to go to work, adding, “I attend (military academy) Sandhurst for three semesters a year and each semester I go away for two weeks to do a overseas training exercise. .’

Kym’s first husband was former EastEnders actor Jack Ryder, 41, whom she married in 2002 but divorced seven years later.

In 2012, she married Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, 48, but they divorced in 2014 and she met Scott in 2018.

Kym has children David, 28, and Emilie from a previous relationship, as well as daughter Polly, 12, with Jamie, with whom she also had son Archie in 2009, who died shortly after his birth.
