Tamzin Outhwaite confirms split with toy boy Tom Child after after six years
TV actress says she’s happy to be single after splitting with toy boy.
Tamzin Outhwaite has confirmed she has split with boyfriend Tom Child - 20 years her junior - after six years together. In an interview with The Mirror the TV actress, 53, opened up about how she is “happy” to be single.
The TV star said: “There has been no acrimonious ending; we’ve moved on to a friend zone. We are still really great mates, which is nice.”
She added “Maybe before now, I’ve been single but not happy, but I’m quite happy. And being single and happy is a really lovely place to be. And that can only happen with life experience.”
The actress who is currently starring in the Channel 5 series ‘The Wives’, met Tom Child at a yoga class in 2017. They reportedly quit at the beginning of the summer. It was her first relationship following her divorce from Lucifer actor Tom Ellis in 2014. The former couple share two teenage daughters together.
Tamzin and Tom split after it was revealed he had an affair with Lost actress Emile De Ravin whilst they were filming the US series Once Upon a Time. Last year Tamzin shared a post on social media which read: “10 years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time.”
The Wives starring Tamzin Outhwaite, Jo Joyner and Angela Griffin is available to watch on Channel 5.
