Kym Marsh has shared some exciting baby news as her daughter Emilie, 27, is pregnant. The Hear’Say icon is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time, sharing the happy news four months on from her split with her boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, 30, who she previously described as her ‘soulmate’.
The 49-year-old shared an adorable snap of her grandson and granddaughter proudly holding a baby scan, sporting Big Brother and Big Sister t.shirts, alongside it Kym penned: “I am so thrilled to share the news!!! Grandchild number 4… incoming!!! Congratulations to my beautiful daughter @listentoemilie, my wonderful son in law @mikeyhoz and Teddy and Polly!! Can’t wait to meet you little one!
Many of the actress’ friends and followers sent their congratulations to her on the post, one replied: “Congratulations to Emilie, Michael, Polly and Teddy. So thrilled for you all.” While a second added: “The best news, so happy for your family.”
Kym first became a grandparent when she was just 42. However she admitted that she wouldn’t go by the name ‘Grandma’ and so changed it to Yaya on grandson Teddy’s request before finding out the name was Greek for ‘grandma’, according to The Mirror.
Speaking to CBeebies about her family, she said: “I always knew I would be a young grandparent because of how old I was when I had my children.
“I was 42 when I found out I was going to be a grandparent. It still came as a bit of a shock but I was so excited.

“Both me and Emilie’s dad were thrilled to bits. Then, of course, meeting Teddy was on another level.”
She continued: “I’m still a very busy person, but as a grandma I try to make as much time as I can. I like to think they will all grow up knowing that, even though I’m busy, I will always be there for them.”
Kym’s happy news comes four months after she split with actor, Samuel, who she met while performing in 101 Dalmatians The Musical. Despite referring to the 30-year-old as her ‘soulmate’, Kym split with her co-star after six months.

The mum-of-three, who has been married three times, met Samuel after she split up from her third husband, Scott Ratcliff. Fans thought Samuel, who is the same age as Kym’s eldest child, David Cunliffe, may propose. But now it’s all over, with Kym insisting she’ll never walk down the aisle again.
Kym opened up to the Independent about her future plans as she got ready to star in a theatre production of Abigail’s Party in April, playing Beverley, she said of the seventies – when the play was written: “You were expected to get married back then. It was almost a little girl’s dream.
“But not for Kym Marsh. I’ve been married three times, and three times it’s not gone well – so no more for me. Three strikes and I’m out.”
