Erik Thomson Our Hardest Year Yet!

The Actor Opens Up About His Marriage and the Latest Season of 800 Words
 

With two kids and 19 years of marriage under their belts, actors Erik Thomson and Caitlin McDougall are more in love than ever. But having a successful showbiz marriage isn’t always easy.

In fact, Erik, 51, revealed that last year was a difficult one for the family of four. He had to spend a lot of time in New Zealand where he was filming the hit show 800 Words, while his wife and two kids, Eilish, 11, and Magnus, seven, stayed at their family home in Adelaide.

‘We had a bit of a hard year last year,’ he admits to New Idea. ‘I was away for big chunks of time and my kids are only young. I would ring up and there would be tears, it made things a bit more difficult.’

As a family they made the best of the situation. ‘We just dealt with it on a daily basis. We kept in touch and we would get together when we could.’

Despite having a tough year, they’ve come out of it stronger than ever and are considering working together again.
