David Tennant beamed with joy as he walked the red carpet alongside his glamorous wife Georgia and their daughter Olive at the Rivals series 2 premiere in London on Wednesday. The couple, married since 2011, dressed to impress at the star-studded event held at BFI IMAX, accompanied by their eldest daughter, aged 14.
Fashion Highlights
The actor looked dapper in a purple velour double-breasted suit, paired with a satin black shirt and matching tie. He added an eye-catching silver brooch to his smart blazer as he posed for family photos. Georgia, an actress, showcased her legs in a green ruched mini dress with long mesh sleeves and frilled edging. She wore towering silver heels and carried a matching handbag. Olive, meanwhile, wore a long black dress and matching heels, standing proudly between her famous parents.
Family Life Insights
Georgia and David share five children: Ty (23), Olive (14), Wilfred (12), Doris (10), and Birdie (5). Ty is Georgia's son from a previous relationship, whom David adopted. Georgia recently opened up about their home life, revealing that several of their children are neurodiverse. Neurodiversity includes conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and Tourette's, affecting about 15-20% of the population.
Speaking on Russell Howard's Five Brilliant Things podcast, Georgia said, 'I don't understand how people sit around and all eat together. We've got a lot of neurodiverse kids so a couple of them don't like eating around other people. They go and eat in separate rooms.' She added that some children won't eat the same food, requiring separate meals, making mealtime a lengthy process of serving different people in different rooms.
As a result, the family rarely eats together. 'We never [eat together]. Christmas, I think we do. Every now and again, we'll go to a pub and we'll all sit down and it's just a nightmare. I just want to go home. They're crawling on the table, one's got headphones on. It's just like, no.'
Embracing Differences
Despite the challenges, Georgia says she wouldn't change anything. 'I love how different they are. It seems so weird that two people can keep creating such a different smorgasbord of human, and that's really fascinating.' She admitted there was never a grand plan to have many children, but a psychologist might link it to her being an only child.
Georgia's motherhood began unexpectedly at 16 with Ty, now an actor with roles in War of the Worlds and House of the Dragon. 'That was obviously not planned, but it was actually so much easier when I was 16 because I didn't have any preconceived ideas about how difficult parenting was. He was really easy and lovely and great. And I was able to work. Probably if that hadn't been so positive, I might not have gone on to have four more.'
Georgia and David, 54, met on the Doctor Who set in 2008, where she played his genetically engineered daughter, Jenny. They married in 2011, and David adopted Ty.
