Former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite has broken her silence on social media after it was revealed her ex-husband Tom Ellis had welcomed his fourth child, his first with his new wife.

The Miranda and Lucifer star announced the news on Instagram on Friday as he shared a snap of his beautiful baby girl. Tom is now a father of four, he shares daughters Florence, 15, and Marnie, 11, with his ex-wife Tamzin and he has a daughter named Nora, 18, from another previous relationship.

After the news broke, Tamzin took to Instagram to share a quote from Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies. It read: "If you hate that Doctor Who includes trans people, good luck to you in your lonely lives."

Tom was married to ex-wife Eastenders actress Tamzin, 53, from 2006 until 2014. The pair met back in 2005 via mutual pal James McAvoy.

Tamzin and Tom divorced after he admitted to having a one-night stand while filming Gothica in America in 2013. However, the former EastEnders actress hinted that they may have been more scandals to blame during an interview in 2016.

She said: "I wouldn't not be with my husband over a one-night stand is all I'll say." The actress subsequently moved on with Tom Child, who she's been dating for six years while Tom began dating screenwriter Meaghan in 2015.

The couple announced their engagement in 2018 before tying the knot at the Grassini Family Winery in Santa Ynez Valley, California, in 2019. They welcomed their daughter Dolly, who was born via surrogate, on Wednesday.

"Our daughter Dolly Ellis-Oppenheimer was born on November 8th and within five hours of being alive, she single-handedly ended the SAG strike. We love her. Huge thank you to our amazing surrogate," Tom wrote on Instagram, adding a pink heart emoji.

Tom's wife Meaghan also posted the news on Instagram, sharing an adorable snap of Tom carrying their newborn on his shoulder. Loved ones and fans shared their congratulations to the couple as Lucifer co-star Rachael Harris penned: "Oh hello Dolly! We have been waiting for you!" Canadian singer Alex Sampson wrote: "Congratulations Tom!! This is so beautiful."
