Corrie’s Kym Marsh splits from partner shortly after buying home together

"It just wasn’t to be."

Kym Marsh is single again. The Coronation Street star has split up with her personal trainer boyfriend Matt Baker. The couple had been seeing each other since 2015 and had recently bought a home together but have gone their separate ways, a rep for Kym confirmed. "Sadly, we can confirm Kym and Matt have made the decision to take some time apart, but remain friends. There will be no further comment at this time." The pressure of work and buying a house became too much for the pair, a source told The Sun. "They wanted this to work out and have spent weeks trying to work through the issues but, sadly, it just wasn’t to be," the source said. "In the end, they both agreed it was for the best that they go their separate ways despite buying a house together so recently." Kym is mum to three kids - 23-year-old David and 21-year-old Emilie, both from a previous relationship, and Polly (seven), whom she had with ex husband Jamie Lomas. The couple also lost a son, Archie, shortly after he was born in 2010. She and the Hollyoaks actor were together for five years before calling it a day in 2013. She was also previously married to EastEnders actor Jack Ryder between 2002 and 2009.
