Actress Tamzin Outhwaite has finally broken her silence after she split from her boyfriend Tom Child.
The former couple met at a yoga class in 2017 and it didn’t take long before sparks flew between them. But after six years together, they decided to call it quits this summer and quietly went their separate ways.
Suspicions started to rise after fans noticed that the EastEnders star, 53, hadn’t posted any snaps of the 33-year-old hunk on social media in months. This was a stark contrast to the contest she delighted her fans with in previous years.

Tom and Tamzin were last pictured together on each other’s Instagram in November 2023, and since then things between the pair have been quiet. Now, the blonde bombshell, who was 20 years his senior, has confirmed they have separated but still remain “really great mates.”

Speaking to the Mirror, Tamzin has insisted that she is happy being single for the first time in her life. She explained: “There has been no acrimonious ending.
“We’ve moved on to a friend zone. We are still really great mates, which is nice.” Tom was her first serious relationship after her difficult divorce from Lucifer star Tom Ellis, who she shares two children with.
The 45-year-old, who now lives across the pond with his new wife Meaghan and his third child Dolly, reportedly cheated on Tamzin with his co-star Emile De Ravin whilst filming the US series Once Upon A Time.

But it didn’t take long before the actor found a new, younger Tom to fall in love with. The doting mum had always credited the toyboy for helping her to mend her broken heart, with the pair even moving in together.
The duo was still an item when she filmed The Wives in Malta – but this month she hinted at a possible split after she insisted she did not need the “commitment of another human being.” But it appears as though she is happy being single again and is hoping to find herself again this time around.
She went on: “Maybe for 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.”

When it comes to break ups, Tamzin revealed that her split from Tom Ellis still cuts deep. Last year, she posted a statement to mark “10 years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time.”
She added she was marking the anniversary with “pride, a feeling of triumph and genuine gratitude.” The actress added: “For anyone struggling, the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.”
