Kym Marsh supported as she writes heartbreaking message to late son on milestone birthday

Kym Marsh has paid an emotional tribute to her late son Archie on what would have been a milestone birthday. The actress took to social media to remember her baby boy, who was stillborn following a premature birth in February 2009.

Kym went through the devastating loss of baby Archie, with her ex-husband Jamie Lomas, at 21 weeks of pregnancy. She later won huge praise for the harrowing Coronation Street storyline in 2017 which saw her character Michelle Connor go through the devastating loss of her baby Ruairi at 23 weeks after suffering a similar heartbreak in real life.

Kym - who has David, 29, and Emilie, 28, with Dave Cunliffe, as well as Polly, 13, with Jamie Lomas - has now marked Archie's 16th birthday. In an emotional post on Instagram. she wrote: "16 years without you. It feels like yesterday we said goodbye. Every year I try to write something new. But the fact is that there is nothing new to say.

"I still miss you every day, that will never change. I still hurt and feel pain the same as always. I still would give anything to have you here with us to celebrate your birthday.

"To see you smile when you opened your gifts, to hear you laugh at the silly things people would write in your cards, to see Polly annoying her big brother and the two of you doing the silly bickering that siblings do, to give me a hug and tell me you love me, but that I needed to let go now cos I’m embarrassing you haha (sic)"

Kym - who lost her dad, David, to cancer in January 2024 - also promised to continue to "honour" her late son. She said: "We all miss you so much, there will always be my one missing, but I take great comfort in knowing that grandad is up there with you now. He’s hugging you for me, for us.

"He's making you laugh
