But, what could have led to their marriage coming to an abrupt end when there were no obvious rumors?
Well, it turned out that Tom Ellis had a one-night stand with Emilie de Ravin, his co-star from Once Upon A Time. It was pretty unfortunate as Tamzin Outhwaite decided that the best move was to end the relationship. However, Tamzin hinted that it was more than a one-night stand that led to the divorce.
They didn’t share further details with the public and went their separate ways.
