She then deleted all traces of her third husband from social media and ditched her engagement ring.
Kym has now spoken out in the aftermath, opening up on her “learned” resilience to tough events in her life.
She told the Guardian: “It’s just experience.”
The former Hear’Say singer added: “I think I am a risk-taker because ‘What if?’ is always worse.
“Comfortable is not good. I always want to be that person who has a go, because I wouldn’t want to sit there years down the line and say: ‘I wonder what would have happened if …?’”
Kym, who starred on Strictly last year, ended their marriage after 18 months.
Scott proposed on Kym’s birthday in 2021 and they wed later that year.
The solider had just enjoyed a rare long break at home from the army, meaning Kym got to see more of her beau. And she told The Celeb Report at the time: “I feel so lucky to be in this situation.”
Two years on, the TV presenter and actress called it quits over the strain of their jobs, and a source told us: “Kym’s been so busy, and last year Strictly meant even her weekends were stacked up along with weekdays rehearsing.
“More recently she’s been filming all over the place and rehearsing for a new theatre run.
“And Scott is based in barracks down south — he’s got a very busy career as well.
“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.
“They had a trial separation earlier this year and were hoping to get things back on track but they’ve decided it’s best to go their separate ways.
“It’s very sad for all involved, but they’ve decided it’s time to tell their family and friends and focus on the future — which means filing for divorce. They’re hoping to keep things as amicable as possible. Hopefully time will help to heal things.”
Her first husband was former EastEnders actor Jack Ryder. They wed in 2002 but divorced seven years later.
In 2012 she married Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas but they divorced two years later.
Kym has two children, David and Emilie, from an earlier relationship, and a daughter, Polly, with Jamie. She and Jamie also had a son, Archie, in 2010, who died moments after he was born.
At the time, a spokesman for Kym declined to comment on the split.
