How Old is Marnie Mae Ellis?
Marnie Mae Ellis is 11 years old as she was born on the 1st of August 2012. Born in London in the UK, Marnie is obviously British by citizenship, however, she is of multi-racial ethnic background.
Marnie is the last child of movie and television actress, Tamzin Outhwaite. Tamzin is Italian and hails from Barga in Italy. Her dad, Tom Ellis is also a famous actor and a native of Cardiff, Wales. According to available records, Tom’s grandfather lived in Glasgow, Scotland, for many years, which gave him citizenship of Britain by naturalization.
Marnie’s great-grandfather eventually moved to Fishburn to settle down to normal life and most of his family members live around Cardiff, Wales, including Marnie Mae Ellis’s dad, Tom Ellis. This is the reason her ethnicity is listed as Italian-British.
Marnie Mae Ellis’ Parents Were Married at the Time She Was Born
Tom and his first wife, Tamzin, had Marnie Mae Ellis several years into their marriage. After they met in 2005 with a timely introduction from a mutual friend, the couple hit it off and commenced dating in no time.
The former celebrity couple got married the next year in 2006 and became first-time parents in 2008 when they received their first daughter, Florence Ellis. Marnie joined the family six years into their marriage in 2012.
Tom and Tamzin’s union went on to last for eight years and Marnie was barely two when they called it quits on their relationship in April 2014. Infidelity was cited as the reason for the couple’s separation and divorce. Tamzin got to know of Tom’s extra-marital relationship in 2013 when he was shooting the movie, Gothica.
Tom confessed to having a one-night stand with a lady he met in the course of duty and in a bid to put it behind them, Tamzin said she worked really hard to get things working between them again. She later opted to divorce when it became glaring that their union had become irredeemable.
Marnie Mae Ellis Grew Up Under the Watch of Her Mother Post-Divorce?
The ruling of the court on the couple’s divorce was that Tom and Tamzin would share custody of their two girls and the Cardiff native had to vacate their residence in Crouch End, North London, for his family.
Consequently, both Marnie and her big sister, Florence, grew up with their mother as Tom later moved to the United States. However, moving to a different continent did not stop Tom from maintaining contact with his daughters.
The Manifest actor seriously lamented on his socials when the COVID-19 lockdown prevented him from seeing his kids for seven long months. Tom just couldn’t do a thing about the situation as he was far away in the US while his children were in the United Kingdom.
Although Marnie Mae Ellis’ mother is saddled with the most responsibility of raising her and her sister, she has a capable helping hand in her boyfriend, Tom Child, who she said is great with the children. Tom and Tamzin have been dating for many years and have maintained their relationship despite the controversy their generational age gap of over two decades caused.
According to Tamzin, her beau, who is just in his early 30s, plays the role of a father figure to Florence and Marnie. He assists her in family chores, stands in when her children start missing their biological father, and have always been there for the family.
Considering this beautiful narrative, one would likely ask why the two are not married and the reason for that, according to reports, may be Tamzin’s agreement with her daughters that she won’t get married again.
Inside Look at Marnie’s Relationship with her Parents
Though Marnie Mae Ellis isn’t growing under the watch of her celebrity father, she still maintains a great relationship with him. However, we can surmise that she is closer to her mother than her father since the former is always there for her.
The Italian movie star has always been overt with her display of love and affection for her children. She went overboard on Marnie’s ninth birthday, which fell on a Sunday. The mother of two couldn’t wait for the day to dawn before taking to her Instagram handle to mark her girl’s special occasion.
The mother of two shared an image of the celebrant where Marnie Mae Ellis was spotted holding a stick on the beach. With the wind blowing her beautiful curls all over her face. The caption read, “Happy 9th Birthday to my baby Marnie,” Tamzin described her last child as a happy and beautiful human and revealed that she considers herself proud to be her mum.
The touching birthday post soon gathered responses from fans, colleagues, and the general public. Some of the celebrities that wished Marnie well include Nicole and Natalie Appleton (All Saints stars), Kate Thorton, and Julie Graham.
On her own part, Tom Ellis, who has always been there for his children, also leveraged his IG handle to share birthday wishes for his last child. The Cardiff native uploaded the picture of a cake with the face of Olivia Rodrigo. His message read,
“Happy birthday to my little ray of sunshine and all-around bringer of joy Marnie. You wanted an @oliviarodrigo cake. You got one.”
Though Tom and Tamzin occasionally share images of their children on social media, they love to protect their girls from public scrutiny.
How Many Siblings Does Marnie Mae Ellis Have?
As earlier mentioned, Marnie Mae Ellis has a couple of sisters – her half-sister, Nora Ellis, came from Tom Ellis’ previous relationship while her direct sister, Florence Ellis is older than the her by four years.
The oldest of Tom Ellis’ daughters, Nora Ellis, was born to the Cardiff actor and his college sweetheart, Estelle Morgan. Nora, whose date of birth is May 22 2005, is already experimenting with acting and she has equally displayed a healthy dose of interest in music.
Marnie’s second sister, Florence Elsie Ellis, was born on June 17, 2008. Florence is far removed from Tom’s other daughters as she seems not to be interested in following the family tradition. Tamzin once said Florence likes tap dancing but nothing has come out of the hobby.
Marnie Has Shown Interest in Acting
Marnie seems to have inherited her parents’ acting talent as the pre-teen girl has already started experimenting with acting. However, we will have to rely on time to tell whether she will forge a career in the acting industry or not.
