Actress Tamzin Outhwaite has shared insights about her approach to dating and relationships following her recent breakup. The former star of EastEnders, who portrayed Mel Owen, opened up about her experiences in a candid discussion.
Tamzin Outhwaite’s Journey Post-Breakup
The 55-year-old actress recently ended a six-and-a-half-year relationship with Tom Child, who is 20 years her junior. Their split was amicable, and they remain in each other’s lives, especially for the sake of Tamzin’s two children, Flo and Marnie, born in 2008 and 2012, respectively.
Outhwaite’s previous marriage to Welsh actor Tom Ellis, known for his role in the series Lucifer, also ended years ago. Ellis has since remarried and welcomed a daughter born via surrogate in November 2023.
Reflections on Relationships
In a recent interview on HELLO!’s Second Act podcast, Tamzin expressed her current stance on relationships. She stated her preference for being single over entering a relationship just for the sake of companionship. “It took me a long time to start having a love affair with myself instead of another man,” she noted.
- Prioritizes friendship over romance.
- Believes in self-discovery rather than seeking to be completed by a partner.
Tamzin also shared her views on dating at her age. She admitted to feeling more compatible with individuals younger than her, humorously questioning her encounters with men in their fifties. “I haven’t met any men in their 50s who really look after themselves yet,” she joked.
Upcoming Projects
Fans can catch Tamzin on the show Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh, airing on February 1. Tamzin Outhwaite remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, with recent roles in various TV dramas, including The Wives, Death In Paradise, The Tower, and Silent Witness.
This evolving perspective on relationships marks a significant chapter in Outhwaite’s life as she embraces independence and personal growth.
