Early Life and education

Tommy Fordham was born on 28 May 1992 in Islington, London.

He is now 33 years old.

He later moved to Essex at around age 15.

He has spoken candidly about struggling academically and leaving school with no GCSEs.

He studied architecture briefly in college but had difficulties due to dyslexia.

Personal Life

Tommy met Georgia Kousoulou at the gym a few months before they appeared together on TOWIE in 2014.

That same year their relationship began, making them one of the longest-standing couples from the show.

They got engaged during a holiday to Mexico in February 2022, and were married in a private ceremony in December 2023.

Georgia has taken full control of planning their second, lavish wedding in Majorca, and has intentionally excluded Tommy from the details as a surprise.

The couple have two children: a son, Brody, born May 2021, and a daughter, Gigi.

Career

Tommy rose to fame in 2014 after joining TOWIE.

While on the show, he began sketching sneaker designs and co-founded Mallet London in 2015.

His brand achieved remarkable success, generating up to £25 million turnover, securing distribution in over 150 stores, achieving 11.8 million sales by 2020, and gaining celebrity fans like Drake and Will.i.am.

He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe for retail and e-commerce in 2021.

In October 2023, Tommy stepped down from Mallet London, citing a toxic working relationship and family tragedy as motivating factors.

He then launched a new footwear brand, CTRNE, featuring trainers with Citrine crystals in the soles personifying manifestation principles.

Net worth

Tommy’s estimated net worth is approximately £1.2 million.

He earned this through reality television exposure, the success of his sneaker brand, and entrepreneurial ventures – though he has faced serious financial challenges, including selling assets to settle a tax bill in 2023.

Controversy

Tommy has faced legal and financial controversy.

After leaving Mallet London in late 2023 amid conflict with co-founders, he endured legal battles including injunctions, loss of substantial assets, and a drop from purported £4 million in the bank to just £5,000.

Despite these challenges, he remains public and optimistic, launching his new brand CTRNE amid the dispute.
