David Tennant will soon be back on our screens as he brings us ITV's The Hack, a drama focused on the phone hacking scandal. Although David and his wife Georgia, who he married in 2011, may be well-acquainted with being in the public eye, but they are not forcing stardom on their younger children; however two of their kids have following them into the acting world. The Doctor Who actors live in a stunning home in West London with their kids: Olive, Wilfred, Doris, Birdie and Georgia's eldest child Ty. They are notoriously protective of their privacy, so photos of the family are few and far between. "We're not quite as squeamish as we were," he told The Guardian, referring to protecting his kids' identities. "But I think a lot of that comes from an insecurity about being uncovered or invaded. The longer you're together, the less that feels like a threat." See rare photos of the Tennant family below…

Tumbling hair

Georgia proudly showed off her daughter Olive's extra-long blonde hair, which fell to her hips as she posed for a photo outside. Joking about her enviable locks, the actress wrote: "Her presence makes everything better (except how you feel about your own hair)."

Olive's birthday

Georgia was beaming with pride when Olive marked her 14th birthday. The mum-of-five joked at the time: "I could say endlessly nice things about you but I think the greatest compliment is that our first collab was so successful we did it another 3 times."

Sweet dad moment

David is such a family man and for Father's Day, Georgia shared several snaps of the actor interacting with their children. She didn't reveal which one of her kids featured in this photo.

Birthday celebrations

For Birdie's fifth birthday, the couple decorated their living room with pink, silver and gold balloons, along with an LED light-up number five and a mound of presents wrapped in pink leopard print wrapping paper. 

Birdie modelled abstract print pyjamas and golden blonde hair just like her mother's, with Georgia acknowledging she is "all me" in the caption. "My face, my hair, my love of chocolate and boobs and funny," she wrote.

Pride outing

David and Georgia earned praise from their followers after posting a series of photos of their children Wilfred, Doris and Birdie dressed to the nines for their school's Pride celebrations. 

They looked adorable in rainbow-hued clothing with glitter adorning their hair, while David posed in a transgender rights T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan: 'You Will Have To Go Through Me'.

Sporty moments

Posted in black and white, the snapshot, which appeared to be of Doris, showed the youngster doing a handstand against a wall, wearing a leotard and styling their hair in a plait.

The busy mum didn't caption the image, allowing her child's athleticism to speak for itself.

World Book Day

The family aren't ones to restrain their children's creative endeavours and Georgia allowed them to go as unique characters for World Book Day. She explained: "Andy from the treehouse, Bella the Blueberry fairy & 'The Wall' from the marvel comic ‘super spidey stories: vol 1 issue 8’ published February 1975."

Looks like dad David is passing down those acting genes as eldest child Olive is already making a name for herself on screen. Georgia shared this photo with her Instagram fans, writing: "Outstanding British Film."

Christmas with The Tennants

The Tennant family proved it's never too early to put up a Christmas tree. In November 2021, Georgia shared this wonderful photo of her children admiring the gorgeous tree.

Family stroll

Four of the Tennants' five children went for a family walk and don't they look cute all holding hands? The mum posted: "No greater feeling in the world than getting the children out of the house, fully dressed, with the dog, for a walk, in the sun, for over an hour, then all back home alive, with no one missing and 12 muddy shoes to clean. But don’t fear, they’re now safely back on their iPads and not talking to each other or us. Happy Sunday everyone."
