Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton are ‘ENGAGED’

Tom Hiddleston is reportedly engaged to girlfriend Zawe Ashton as the pair sent tongues wagging as they appeared at the BAFTAs at the weekend.  

The actor, 41, and the actress, 37, – whose romance blossomed after they starred in the 2019 play Betrayal – look set to tie the knot as Zawe was pictured wearing a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger in a photo shared by host AJ Odudu.  

During the BAFTA 2022 ceremony on Sunday night, the couple were reportedly congratulated by industry friends – after Zawe hid her hand as she took to the red carpet in a pink cape dress.

Tom, meanwhile, looked devilishly handsome in a black blazer and trousers, as he posed hand-in-hand with Zawe.

However, later in the ballroom of London’s Grosvenor Hotel the couple caught up with the TV personality who snapped a picture which showed the diamond ring.   

Mail Online has contacted Tom and Zawe’s representatives for comment. 

Zawe and Tom met while starring in the 2019 play Betrayal and have kept their relationship out of the spotlight ever since.

The couple confirmed their romance during a steamy PDA-filled holiday at the beach in Ibiza in September last year before making their red carpet debut together at the Tony Awards in New York City. 

Last year it was revealed the pair had moved in together after months of romance rumours, and they are now said to be living together in Atlanta, Georgia. 

Sources close to the duo said The Night Manager star, and the actress are ‘very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life’.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Tom and Zawe have stayed quiet about their relationship but she has spent the last few weeks with him in the US.

‘They are very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life away from the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world.

Tom previously told The Telegraph: ‘Everyone is entitled to a private life.

‘I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment, and in my mind I don’t conflict the two. My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life. And those two things are separate.’ 

It comes after Zawe revealed she’s got no intention of working with Tom for the foreseeable future.

She told The Mirror: ‘I’ve been working with Tom on stage for a year solid – every night – so now we need at least two years apart now!.’

She also revealed how she’d been living between London and LA during the pandemic.

She’s recently been working on a period drama called Mr Malcolm’s List where she plays a character living in 1800s England called Julia Thistlewaite.

She added: ‘I’ve got into period dramas late – everyone else is over them, but I only want to do them now. They are so freeing.’
