Isaac, being 16 years her junior ruffled criticism of all sorts, to which Tamara addressed:
I’m a very private person, so I did find it quite difficult. I wondered if it would be the same if it was an older man with a younger woman. But I’m very fortunate to have found somebody I want to spend my life with and who shares my passion. I’m happy – but I feel that is also something that bothers people!
Further, she added that the age gap does not seem to be there in between them, and she would "highly recommend it" to other women as well.
Earlier, Tamara held a relationship with fellow dancer Alan Jones.
