Who is Lucifer star Tom Ellis married to in real life?

Since its premiere, Lucifer has captivated viewers with its compelling plot, fun writing, and interesting characters.

Based on the DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg, Lucifer is a sinfully good show. The series stars Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil himself, who abandons his position as the ruler of Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles.

After inserting himself into a homicide investigation, Lucifer becomes an advisor to the LAPD, where he solves crimes with Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German). Able to identify people’s weaknesses and desires, Lucifer’s unique abilities often come in handy.

Fans and critics alike have praised Ellis’ performance. He has an inviting but terrifying charm that seems to pull you in. Ellis wonderfully portrays the Devil, bored with the monotony of his life, who has come to seek adventure in the human realm.

On the show, Lucifer is a playboy who eventually falls in love with Detective Decker. Even though their relationship is up in the air due to Lucifer’s return to Hell in the season 4 finale, Tom Ellis’ marriage in real life seems to be going strong.

In June 2019, Ellis married his longterm girlfriend, American screenwriter and actress Meaghan Oppenheimer. As reported by Express, Ellis and Oppenheimer were wed at the Grassini Family Winery in Santa Ynez Valley, California. Some of Oppenheimer’s writing credits include We Are Your Friends starring Zac Efron and season 1, episode 4, “Not Fade Away” of Fear the Walking Dead.

The pair just recently passed their one-year anniversary.

As reported by DailyMail, Tom Ellis was previously married to English actress Tasmin Outhwaite. Ellis and Outhwaite share two daughters, Marnie and Florence. Ellis also has a teenage daughter, Nora, from a previous relationship.
