Kym Marsh has split from her husband Scott Ratcliff after just 19 months of marriage - but the former Hear'Say singer has ignored her heartbreak as she gushed over her 'incredible' career experience.
The singer, 46, and ex-soldier Scott, 34, have called time on their relationship after getting married at a lavish ceremony in October 2021.
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.
Sources close to the Strictly Come Dancing contestant 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.
Following the news of their split, Kym has remained silent - however, she took to Instagram on Saturday to gush over her musical 'family'.
Kym, who is taking part in the Relight Your Fire with Greatest Days musical, shared a sweet snap of the cast and crew of the production as she described her time working on musical as an 'incredible experience'.
Alongside the snap, Kym penned: "Posted this photo before but I just want to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of this cast and crew. This whole experience has been incredible and I truly feel so privileged to be part of it!!!
"We open tonight in Bromley! Let’s go SMASH it gang!!! This show is one I will NEVER FORGET," she added.
Kym's post comes after she paid tribute to Scott on first wedding anniversary last October as she shared a photo of the newlyweds at sunset on their big day.
Describing her husband as her "rock" and her "soulmate" she gazed lovingly at her Scott, who wore his red uniform.
She captioned the photo: "One year ago today I was lucky enough to marry my best friend. This man is everything to me. I honestly don’t know what I would do without him.
"He is my everything, my rock, my friend, my soulmate. Scott, I am so very lucky to be your wife and I thank my lucky stars everyday that you came into my life. So all that’s left to say is Happy Anniversary my wonderful, amazing, sexy af husband.
"I love you with all of my heart! Always and forever."
Despite trying to work through the distance, it was just insurmountable for Kym and Scott.
“Kym’s still a working mum, too, and lives up in Cheshire with her family. In the end it was the fact they lived so far away from each other that just made it impossible," the source added.
The Mirror has reached out to Kym's representatives for comment.
