How old is Tom Read Wilson?

Celebs Go Dating favourite Tom is 39-years-old and was born on the 12th of November 1986, making him a Scorpio.

It seems like Tom's funny nature has been with him since he was young, with the TV star telling OK!: "I had a happy childhood. It was quite a curious one because I grew up on a college campus, so when the school holidays came around and the kids went home I could skinny dip in the pool and play on the tennis courts. It was a lovely place to grow up in.

"I’m very close to my parents, but sadly they are now separated and my dad has remarried. My mum is a French teacher and a wonderful, zesty, rather naughty character."

Is Tom Read Wilson married? Does he have a partner?

Despite giving out fantastic dating advice, Tom is not married and doesn't appear to be in a relationship as of 2025.

Speaking about his dating life, Tom confessed: "I tend to find that I have a very spiky grasp on my professional life. But when I get a break I love to date – even if after three minutes of meeting you know it’s not going to lead to romance.

"I just love meeting people. I’m very happy in my own company, but if someone came into my life it would be a beloved addition. Most days I feel like a moist madeira sponge that doesn’t really require icing.

"But if there were icing, it wouldn’t go amiss. I’m so lucky I’ve got three godchildren, three nephews… but what I really crave is to have children of my own one day."
