Tamzin Outhwaite says ‘Not all men want younger women’

Tamzin Outhwaite embarked on a relationship with personal trainer Tom Child two-and-a-half years ago. Tamzin Outhwaite has defended their 21 year age difference Tom is just 29 by revealing they both wanted long-term commitment, and insists age should not be a barrier to genuine happiness.

Tamzin Outhwaite told, A woman being very sure of what she wants or what she is in her life doesn’t make her a cougar, because there are two people involved in this relationship.

‘Not all men want younger women, that’s another thing. When you find someone you connect with, what, because you’re different ages you shouldn’t do that?’

Tamzin Outhwaite’s relationship with Tom began some three years after a difficult divorce from actor Tom Ellis, with whom she shares children Florence, 11, and Marnie Mae, seven, in 2014.

But while they made an immediate connection with one another, the actress admits she did consider the implications that come with dating a younger man while living in the public eye, and whether or not they could withstand the inevitable media scrutiny that followed.

‘We have thought about this, we have talked about this,’ she said. ‘At the beginning you think: “Can we do this?” But the minute we became official and thought we’re all right with it, then no one else’s opinions matter, apart from my children.’

Tamzin’s admission comes after she heaped praise on her partner as they adhere to strict social distancing measures by remaining behind closed doors during the coronavirs health crisis. 

The actress recently expressed her fears that a number of romantic relationships may not go the distance as couples isolate together during the ongoing pandemic.

Tazmin who went into isolation with Tom on March 16 after the couple displayed symptoms – believes the crisis will prove to be a testing time for many relationships as people spend months locked in together.
