Kym Marsh is reportedly planning a huge fourth wedding to her sixth fiancé Tom Dickinson and will walk down the aisle after her Hear’Say tour next year.

The former Coronation Street actress, 50, began dating Tom last autumn and after a whirlwind romance he popped the question on a romantic trip to Paris in March this year.

The star’s wedding to Tom will mark the fourth time she has walked down the aisle – but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a big celebration.

And it looks to be sooner than expected, with the couple wishing to tie the knot next summer off the back of Kym’s reunion tour with Hear’Say.

A source revealed: ‘She hasn’t been put off by her previous marriages and truly does believe Tom is her happy ever after. They know they want to marry next summer, they have looked at venues and are pretty sure they have found the one.’

The pair have already started asking their bridesmaids and have reached out to wedding videographers.

She also wants to make sure all four of her grandchildren have a part to play on the big day.

The source told The Sun: ‘Kym might have been married before but she still wants the real deal still. There is no way she won’t be in a white dress.

‘She’s well aware people have their opinions but she really doesn’t care. She knows she wants to spend the rest of her life with Tom.’

The Daily Mail has contacted Kym’s representatives for comment.

Kym’s friends and fans have both expressed concerns over the speed of her latest whirlwind relationship.

Critics of the actress admitted they had grown tired of her public declarations of love to her partners, many of whom she has branded her ‘soul mate’.

Kym has been married three times and has accepted six proposals over the years, most recently from her current partner back in March.

And last month Kym was mocked by her followers after sharing a gushing post about her husband to be.

Sharing the smitten post to Instagram, Kym described Tom as her ‘best friend’ and wrote that they will be ‘together forever’.

Kym posted a selection of photos of them together, including one on a trip to Venice on a gondola where they smooched in the snap.

Alongside she wrote: ‘My best friend, my rock, my everything! I love you without measure and I am so lucky to be in love with my best mate. This last year has been my favourite and I can’t wait for our next adventure. Yours forever and always.’

Kym’s most recent breakup was with actor Samuel Thomas, who is 19 years her junior and she met while working together on 101 Dalmatians.

They went public with their romance in mid-2024 and dated for around six months, with Kym describing her ex as her ‘soulmate’.

Kym Marsh’s high-profile love life has included an engagement to Dave Cunliffe during their relationship between 1994 and 1999, followed by marriages to Jack Ryder (2002-2009) and Jamie Lomas (2012-2014), with whom she shares daughter Polly.

She was also engaged to personal trainer Dan Hooper in 2014-2015. She later dated Army Major Scott Ratcliff from 2019, marrying him in October 2021 before their separation in May 2023 and subsequent divorce.

In one photo in her new post, Kym flaunted her dazzling diamond ring but some of her followers made cutting remarks about her most recent engagement.

Sharing their thoughts on her sixth engagement, they said: ‘You say that every time. Let’s hope this one goes the distance’; ‘Bloody hell Kim you’ve had more engagement rings than I’ve had cars lol xxx’; ‘Another Hello magazine shoot coming up!’;

‘Ffs another chap!; ‘Another one? F***ing hell’; ‘Fk me me I can’t keep up. Girls gonna be a millionaire with all of these rings). Must have a fair few by now’; ‘Bloody hell Kym not another one, how do you bag all these rings?’; ‘She’s partial to an engagement ring.’

However, not everyone poked fun, some celebrated her happy relationship and encouraged her to ‘ignore the haters’.

They said: ‘Congratulations to you both Kym, you make a lovely couple and it’s your life! Igore all the negative Nancy’s as they are just jealous because you’re beautiful inside and out and your’e living your best life. Tom is a very handsome guy and if he makes you happy then go for it as you only have one life.’

‘Lovely photos and memories. Ignore the jealous haters’; ‘People are so rude! Relationships are hard! Kym is clearly someone who loves being in love but it’s hard to find the right person to do this life with, she’s not hurting anybody so live and let live! Congratulations Kym and Tom.’

Kym began dating Tom in autumn last year – eight months after she ended her whirlwind romance with Samuel.

It was reported in October that Kym had found love again with a fitness fanatic after the pair were introduced through friends.

She then identified her man when she shared a series of photos to her Instagram – confirming their romance and tagging his account.

In March, it was said that Tom asked Kym to marry him in a romantic proposal by the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Kym was ‘on cloud nine’ after reportedly saying yes ‘immediately’ when Tom popped the question.

A source told The Sun: ‘Their romance has been like a fairytale. Tom had planned the perfect proposal and got down on one knee next to the Eiffel Tower.

‘Kym was overcome, but she said yes immediately. She has the most beautiful ring and can’t wait to plan their special day.’

It will be Kym’s fourth marriage, after previously wedding army major Scott, Hollyoaks star Jamie and EastEnders star Jack.

The couple were seen out for the first time together in November as they enjoyed a day out in Bakewell.

Kym shares her son David, 30, and daughter actress Emilie, 28, with her ex David Cunliffe.

She is also a mother to 14-year-old daughter Poppy, whom she shares with ex-husband and Hollyoaks star Jamie, as well as son Archie who was born 18 weeks premature in 2009 and passed away shortly after birth.
