Meeting
The pair met after Tommy joined TOWIE in 2014, series 13, and have now been together for over eight years, having celebrated their seventh anniversary on 31 October 2021.
Speaking on Lorraine in the past, Georgia admitted she wasn't keen on Tommy when she first met him.
She said: "No I wasn't, he came in all guns blazing and really loud. I didn't like him for about an hour and then after that I was in love. We've been together ever since."
The pair then moved in together in 2017.
The secret to a happy relationship
Speaking exclusively to OK! online, Tommy previously explained the secret to their relationship, revealing: "I never keep anything from Georgia, ever. We keep a hell of a lot [private].
"On the show we learnt from early on, bringing your trouble that you've got, which could only last an hour, on to the show, will end up lasting for weeks on end – so unless it's something serious like someone's gone out and cheated – then yeah bring it to the show – but that's never been the case for us. We don't really have disagreements but if we do it literally lasts minutes.
"As much as everyone watches the show and thinks there's so much drama, our lives actually don't have that much drama – we live a normal life. We have a dog, we go to the caravan some weekends, we go for drives, we don't go out and have big arguments in nightclubs in front of everyone and then talk about it the next day on TV.
When asked if she set a few ground rules when they first started dating, Georgia previously explained: "A few? I set out like two pages! I had to for my own benefit," before Tommy added: "It's a bible!"
She continued: "But didn't it help us? I think all girls going forward should have rules, it just helps relationships".
Baby
In December 2020, Georgia and Tommy delighted TOWIE fans when they revealed they were expecting their first child together.
Taking to Instagram to announce the happy news, the couple both shared an adorable selfie of them excitedly holding up a recent baby scan, along with their adorable pet pup Monkey.
Tommy wrote: "Here’s some good news to end 2020, I feel so blessed and my life now feels complete @georgiakousoulou May 2021".
Georgia gave birth to an adorable baby boy named Brody Fordham on 5 May 2021, and the new parents have been smitten ever since.
The pair regularly keep their followers updated with their experiences as first time parents, and even landed their own ITVBe series, Baby Steps.
The show follows Tommy and Georgia as they adjust to life as new parents, and it proved to be a hit among fans as it was recently renewed for a second season.

Engagement
Tommy and Georgia announced their engagement on 25 February 2022, after romantic Tommy popped the question during a lavish holiday to Mexico.
Surrounded by rose petals and candles, Tommy got down on one knee on the beach with the incredible moment captured on camera.
Taking to Instagram, excited wife-to-be Georgia wrote: "OF COURSE I SAID YES", while Tommy told his followers: "Got the job done [ring emoji] (now stop asking me when I'm gonna do it)", along with a laughing emoji.
Fans have long wondered when Tommy would pop the question, with the dad-of-one hinting about it on several occasions over the years.
Speaking to OK! previously, Tommy said: "Obviously having kids and engagement is on the cards.
"I feel like I've been asked so many times and seen so many headlines about it though I do actually think I don't want to do it yet – I'm not getting pressured into such a big thing – I want to have a few houses by the time Georgia's pregnant. I'm not being pressured into it."
When asked what kind of wedding the pair would have, excited Georgia previously told OK!: "We’ll have a big Greek and Irish-themed wedding. You get to smash plates, do some mad Greek dancing and pin £50 notes on each other!"
