Tom Ellis (44) and his wife Meaghan Oppenheimer (37) are happy about their first child together. “Our daughter Dolly Ellis-Oppenheimer was born on November 8th and single-handedly ended the SAG strike within five hours of her birth,” the “Lucifer” star joked on Instagram. He also published a picture that shows him in the hospital with his wife and newborn daughter.
As the actor further reveals in the post, the offspring was carried by a surrogate mother. “We love her. A huge thank you to our amazing surrogate mother,” enthuses the 44-year-old. His wife also shared pictures on Instagram, including their daughter’s face.
This is the first child for Oppenheimer. Ellis is already the father of three children: his daughter Nora (18) comes from a previous, non-public relationship. He had daughters Florence (15) and Marnie (11) with his first wife, actress Tamzin Outhwaite (53).
Oppenheimer and Ellis met in 2015 and got engaged two years later. They finally said yes in 2019.
