Is Kym Marsh dating her personal trainer?

Kym Marsh is reportedly dating her 23-year-old personal trainer.

The 37-year-old Coronation Street star - who had her divorce from EastEnders actor Jamie Lomas finalised last month - spent Valentine's Day in Paris with Matt Baker, according to the Daily MIrror.

Kym tweeted after her romantic trip: "Literally having the best weekend EVER!!!!! #luckygirl #lifeisgood."

And Matt teased on Twitter: "Le weekend ?."

The pair travelled to Paris with friends, but insiders told the newspaper their friendship has blossomed into romance in recent weeks.

A spokesman for the mum-of-three said: "Kym and Matt are close friends but are not in a relationship."

Matt helped Kym lose 10lb when her marriage to former Hollyoaks star Jamie hit the rocks last summer.

Kym and Jamie, 33, were together for five years and tied the knot in September 2012. But Kym filed for divorce in October 2013 citing Jamie's 'erratic behaviour'. They were reported to be living separately last summer.
