Tom and Tamzin split in 2014 after he admitted to cheating with the Lost actress Emilie de Ravin.
But soap star Tamzin said in a 2015 interview with Essentials Magazine that there was more to the split than just an act of infidelity.
She said at the time: ‘I wouldn’t not be with my husband over a one-night stand is all I’ll say.’

Tom tied the knot with his now wife Meaghan in a romantic woodland ceremony in Santa Ynez in 2019.
The couple wedded in front of their loved ones at the Grassini Family Winery, a beautiful vineyard on Genuine Risk Road nestled in Happy Canyon.
They have been together since 2015 and announced their engagement earlier that year, half a decade after his divorce from Tamzin.
Meanwhile, Tamzin is now happy with her boyfriend Tom Child, who is twenty years her junior.
The actress has been dating Tom, 30, for three years and has stressed she will not let their age gap get in the way of him ‘living his life’.
