Tamzin was previously married to Lucifer star Tom Ellis. The former couple married in 2006, a year after being introduced by mutual friend James McAvoy. They were together for eight years before divorcing in 2014 but split after Tom reportedly confessed to having a one-night stand with his Once Upon A Time co-star Emilie de Ravin.

However, in an interview with Essentials magazine in 2015, Tamzin hinted the breakdown of their marriage was down to more than a single mistake. "I wouldn't not be with my husband over a one-night stand is all I'll say," she explained.
The former couple share daughters Florence, 13, and Marnie, nine, while Tamzin was also step mum to Tom's teenage daughter Nora from his relationship with Welsh actress Estelle Morgan. Tom has since remarried, tying the knot with American screenwriter Meaghan Oppenheimer in June 2019.
