Tamzin Outhwaite: Dating? No Thanks, I’m Dating Myself!
Well, well, well! Tamzin Outhwaite, the fabulous EastEnders star, has decided to channel her inner cat lady—minus the felines—by declaring that dating fills her with horror! Yes, you heard that right! The star who’s tasted both love and heartbreak now finds herself in a whirlwind relationship…with her own fabulous self. She recently shared about her escape from the dating pool on the Suddenly Single podcast and honestly, it sounds like she’s happier than a kid in a candy store—sans the sugar crash!
The Break-Up Chronicles
Tamzin, who’s 53 and rocking that age with serious style, just split from 33-year-old Tom Childs after six years of what she calls a “wonderful” relationship—an understatement that could rival British politeness! They met at a yoga class (because where else would a soap star meet a toyboy?) in 2017 and found themselves in the friend zone quicker than you can say “om shanti.” A classic case of yoga giving more than just physical balance, I must say!
After a rocky marriage with Tom Ellis, the charming gentleman who starred in Miranda, it seems our Tamzin has learned a thing or two about relationships. Her wisdom? “Why not invest that energy into yourself?” And who could blame her? After all, life isn’t a rom-com; you don’t always get that happy ever after—sometimes you just get a lot of drama and a bitter taste of betrayal. Just ask her ex!
“The Idea of Dating Fills Me With Horror!”
If you think dating is tough, try being a star under the stronghold of the tabloid spotlight. In her own words, Tamzin stated, ‘The idea of going on a date fills me with horror. The awkwardness of it all…’ Quite frankly, if someone as stunning as her is terrified of dating, then what hope do we mere mortals have? Even if Brad Pitt himself came calling, she’d rather rewatch The Office for the hundredth time than deal with the potential communication breakdown of a first date!
This ex-serial dater has turned her focus to her children and the chaos that comes with family life—who needs a partner when you can have mental gymnastics trying to manage two kids, a dog, and a dad who lives at the end of her garden? Sounds like a reality show waiting to happen: “Keeping Up With Outhwaite.”
Lessons from Love
Give it to Tamzin; she’s not just crying into her gin and tonic. No! She’s using this time to reflect and recalibrate. Not only has she ditched toxic relationship habits, but she’s also stepped into her newfound Alpha persona—quite literally like a lioness prowling the plains of self-empowerment. Amen to that! I mean, who needs Mr. Right when you can be Ms. Independent, right?
However, let’s be real, she’s not completely writing off dating. She’s just postponing it, as she put it perfectly: “Once the kids move on, that might be the time when I get a bit lonely… I do believe in fate.” And with her radiant spirit, how could fate not bring her a dash of romance when she’s ready?
What’s Next for Tamzin?
For now, she’s happily taking a break from the dating circus. It seems Tamzin is all about that ‘me time,’ the holy grail of self-discovery. From taking solo trips to enjoying her bustling household, she’s cherishing her freedom like a kid with a new bike—no training wheels needed!
In a world that often follows the script of romantic clichés, Tamzin Outhwaite is rewriting hers. Are we ready for a new sequel in the Tamzin Chronicles? Only time (and maybe a handsome stranger at the end of her driveway!) will tell.
In Conclusion
So there you have it! Tamzin Outhwaite is a shining example that sometimes the most stimulating relationship we can have is the one with ourselves. Who knows what the future holds? But for now, she’s prioritizing her own happiness, opting for self-relationship over romantic entanglements.
Let’s raise a glass (or a yoga mat) to that!
