Congratulations are in order as Marvel's star Tom Hiddleston has reportedly welcomed his first baby with Zawe Ashton after three years of dating.

As one of the most charming actors in Hollywood, Tom Hiddleston has always been linked to various high-profile romances over the years. From Elizabeth Olsen to Taylor Swift, the talented actor has proven that he's truly a Hollywood heartthrob.

Tom Hiddleston's brief romance with Taylor Swift

But of course, his most famous past romance is that with Taylor Swift, which lasted only three months. During their courtship in the fabulous summer of 2016, the power couple was photographed kissing, leaving restaurants, and most remarkably, Tom wearing the 'I Love Taylor Swift' tank top after a party. The heat gradually diminished, however, and ended with the pair's breakup in September of the same year, and Taylor referring to Tom in her Reputation album.

Later in 2017, Tom candidly shared about the short-lived romance with the Grammy-winner, telling GQ:

'Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time… Of course, it was real.'

Following the Taylor thing, Tom quickly moved on with actress Zawe Ashton and has since gone from strength to strength.

Tom and Zawe's secret engagement

Just months after announcing her engagement to Loki star Tom Hiddleston, actress Zawe Ashton is reportedly ‘full with pleasure’ with the baby news, reports Rappler.

According to the outlet, Zawe was spotted sporting a large diamond sparkler on her ring finger in a photo released by host AJ Odudu after Tom and Zawe made headlines earlier this year about a potential engagement.

According to sources, after the wedding, the couple's celebrity friends were congratulated on their news, but Zawe was eager to cover her finger while standing on the red carpet. The Fresh Meat actress covered her hand with her lovely flowing pink robe to hide her stunning diamond-encrusted ring from paparazzi.

Since they first met after co-starring in a play on London's West End in 2019, the couple has chosen to keep their relationship as discreet as possible. They only admitted to being together after being seen kissing on the beach in Ibiza in September 2021. Later, they appeared on the red carpet for the first time as a couple at the Tony Awards in New York City the same month.

According to the Mirror, Zawe and Tom decided to move in together after just a few months of dating, indicating that their bond has only grown stronger.

They have secretly welcomed first child

According to Page Six, Zawe Ashton has given birth to the couple's first child, and Tom Hiddleston is reportedly adjusting to the challenges of parenting.

The Velvet Buzzsaw actress, who is 38, announced her pregnancy in June when in New York City for Mr. Malcolm's List premiere. Tom, her 41-year-old fiancé, who also has a role in the film, was not present at the red carpet appearance as Zawe showed off her growing baby bump in a floor-length gown.

Just two weeks before to Zawe's appearance, Tom told the Los Angeles Times that he was ‘extremely thrilled’ after proposing to the actress while on one knee.

According to a source close to the couple who spoke to US Weekly, Tom and Zawe 'are loving being new parents and are filled with joy’. They said:

‘They have been having the struggles of new parents and aren't sleeping much but are thrilled’

For a response, The Mirror has been in touch with Zawe and Tom's agents.
