Last month, Tamzin revealed that her three-year relationship with boyfriend Tom was originally ‘meant to just be a fling’ as she discussed their happy romance.

She was previously in a relationship with Miranda actor Tom Ellis, 41, with whom she had daughters Flo, 12, and Marnie, eight.

Speaking to the Mirror, the actress said of her current relationship: ‘It was meant to just be a fling. Then it went from being a fling to, “I don’t want to be away from you”.

 ‘For one of the first times in my life I’m living in the moment and not worrying about what’s going to happen, which is lovely.’

Tamzin went on: ‘I’ve been married before and I’ve got my children, who come first, and he knows that. 

Tom is a cameraman by trade, recently filming and directing his partner in a YouTube series about six menopausal ­women called Dun Breedin’.

Earlier in the year, Tamzin insisted in an interview with Prima magazine that she is ‘not having a midlife crisis’ by dating Child.

She said her relationship with Tom is both ‘unexpected and magic’.

She added:  ‘There’s Joan Collins, Sam Taylor-Johnson and Helena [Bonham-Carter] with younger men, so I’m in really lovely company.

‘Tom’s very good for my mental and physical health. The other way around, no one says anything about a younger woman do they?’
