Archie Jay Lomas was the son of the actress and singer Kym Marsh and the actor Jamie Lomas. He was born on 11 February 2009, eighteen weeks before his due date, and died moments after his birth.
There is, sadly, no longer life story to tell: Archie’s life lasted only moments. His name is nevertheless publicly known, and still searched for, because his mother has spoken openly for many years about losing him and about baby loss generally, and because she continues to mark his birthday in public each year.
This page records what reputable news reports actually document about Archie. It also corrects a misunderstanding found elsewhere online: some websites present him as an adult with a career and a public profile. He was not. He was a much-loved baby who is remembered by his family.
Early Life and Background
Archie was born at Trafford General Hospital in Manchester on 11 February 2009. His mother, Kym Marsh, was then best known as Michelle Connor in Coronation Street; his father, Jamie Lomas, played Warren Fox in Hollyoaks. The couple later married, and subsequently divorced.
He arrived eighteen weeks prematurely, despite doctors’ efforts over several days to delay the labour, and he died just moments after he was born. His parents announced his death in a statement, and the news was widely reported at the time, including by BBC News, Reuters and The Telegraph.
Archie was his parents’ first child together. He has half-siblings in both families; his sister Polly was born in 2011, after a pregnancy in which their mother received specialist care at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester to reduce the risk of another very premature birth.
Career Journey and Professional Development
Archie had no career, education or public life: he died on the day he was born. Any website describing his professional development, ambitions or adult achievements is inventing them, and readers should treat such pages with caution.
Pages of that kind are generally generated automatically from a name alone. In Archie’s case, the name became searchable for a sad reason: he was the child of two well-known television actors, and his birth and death were reported by national news organisations in February 2009.
For the same reason, there are no interviews, professional records, businesses or social media accounts belonging to Archie himself. Everything reliably documented about him comes from the reports of 2009 and from his parents’ tributes in the years since.
If you have arrived here looking for the biography of an adult professional with this name, no such public figure is documented in any reliable source.
Public Image and Online Presence
What public presence Archie’s name has is really his mother’s doing. Kym Marsh has discussed baby loss in interviews and on television for well over a decade, and each February she marks his birthday publicly, including on social media.
In July 2022, a segment on the BBC programme Morning Live showed an artist adding his name — ‘Archie Jay Lomas’ — to a memory wall for babies who had died. His mother, who took part in the feature, was overcome with emotion, and viewers praised the programme for highlighting baby loss.
Searches for his name tend to rise each February, around his birthday, when his mother’s tributes are reported — a pattern that says more about public sympathy, and about how many families share some version of this experience, than about celebrity.
Out of respect for the family, this page does not speculate beyond what his parents have chosen to say publicly and what reputable news organisations have reported.
Personal Life and Interests
There are no personal-life details to record for Archie himself: he was a newborn baby. What is documented concerns his family, and it is recorded here only where it has been publicly reported.
After his death, his mother was cared for during her next pregnancy at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, a specialist centre, where treatment to prevent early labour helped his sister Polly to be born safely in 2011.
His mother has said publicly that the pain of losing him does not go away, and that his family continues to wonder who he would have grown up to be — sentiments that many bereaved parents will recognise.
His parents later divorced, as was widely reported at the time. That is part of the adults’ story rather than Archie’s, and it is mentioned here only for completeness.
Achievements and Notable Highlights
There are no achievements of the usual biographical kind to list for a baby who lived only moments. What can honestly be recorded under this heading is the effect his short life has had through the people who loved him.
His mother’s willingness to keep talking about him — in interviews, on television and each year on his birthday — has helped keep baby loss in public conversation, at a time when many families still grieve in silence.
The memory wall featured on Morning Live in 2022, where his name was placed alongside those of other lost babies, turned private grief into a shared public memorial. His mother has made clear that being remembered by name is what matters to her.
Conclusion
Archie Jay Lomas (11 February 2009) was the son of Kym Marsh and Jamie Lomas. Born eighteen weeks early, he died moments after his birth. There is no adult biography to write, and this page has not invented one.
What remains is a family’s remembrance, conducted partly in public, which has given comfort and recognition to many other parents who have lost a baby.
If this page serves one further purpose, it is to stop readers being misled elsewhere: there is no hidden career, business or public life to discover — only a baby who is remembered by name, which is exactly what his mother has always asked for.

What does Archie Jay Lomas do?Nothing of that kind applies: Archie died on the day he was born. Websites that describe a career, profession or business for him are publishing invented content.
Why is his name searched online?Because his parents are well-known actors, his death was widely reported in 2009, and his mother marks his birthday publicly each year and has spoken about baby loss on television — including a 2022 Morning Live segment in which his name was added to a memory wall.
Is Archie Jay Lomas a public figure?No. Archie was a private individual — a newborn baby. The public interest attaches to his parents, and to his mother’s openness about baby loss, not to any public life of his own.
Where can I find accurate information about him?In reputable news reports: BBC News, Reuters and The Telegraph reported his birth and death in February 2009, and the Manchester Evening News and The Mirror have covered his family’s tributes in later years.
