Baz Ashmawy reveals plans to finally marry his partner Tanja Evans after 10-year engagement

Baz Ashmawy has revealed his plans to finally marry his long-term partner, Tanja Evans.

The couple, who have been together since 2006, got engaged back in 2015 and share six children between them.

Despite popping the question over ten years ago, Baz and Tanja are yet to tie the knot – but the presenter hopes they will walk down the aisle “soon”.

“I think maybe soon, maybe we might…,” he told Evoke.

“It would be very low key…we’re very, like, 50, you know, it’d be embarrassingly quiet, I’d say.

“But I very much want to, I have to say it’s something that I’ve always been too busy for. But yeah, I think it’s on the cards.

“We’re in a happy place. We’re in a good place. Our kids, my youngest, are teenagers. Now two teenage girls are the youngest I have. It feels like something I would like to do now, soon enough.”

Speaking to Goss.ie back in 2024, Baz insisted the pair will get married “some day”.

“I just want to be sure…,” Baz laughed, before adding, “No I’m joking, I’m joking.”

“No I love her to bits and I’d marry her tomorrow it just hasn’t happened yet,” the actor continued. “I don’t know why.”

When asked to share the secret to their happy relationship, Baz referred to Tanja as his wife – despite it not being official on paper.

He said: “Happy wife, happy life! I think that’s it, you know. I think it’s just appreciating and not taking anyone for granted is a good start.”

The Faithless star announced his engagement to Tanja back in 2015, nine years after they first met in Coppers nightclub.

At the time, he told The Herald: “Yeah we’re engaged, I asked her earlier this year, nowhere special, just in Dublin.”

The couple are proud parents to daughters Hanna and Mahy, and Baz is also stepfather to Charlotte, Harry, Jake and Amelia from Tanja’s previous relationship.
