SPOTTED: Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton's Secret Romance Exposed as They Prepare to Welcome Their Second Child!

The scandalous news has finally broken, and it seems that Tom Hiddleston, 44, and his long-term partner, Zawe Ashton, 40, are expecting their second child together. The Loki alum and the Broadway star revealed the exciting news in an exclusive interview with Vogue on Saturday, just as they were set to dazzle at the UK premiere of Hiddleston's latest film, The Life of Chuck, during SXSW London.

Ashton was seen flaunting her baby bump in a stunning sky-blue silk gown by Emilia Wickstead on the red carpet, leaving everyone guessing about their relationship status. But one thing is for sure - this couple has been keeping their romance under wraps for far too long!

The Loki alum, 44, and the Broadway star, 40, revealed the exciting news to Vogue on Saturday

The two first met while starring together in the 2019 stage production Betrayal and quickly fell head over heels in love. They welcomed their first child in October 2022, but kept the details of their little one's gender a secret. We can't help but wonder - will they follow suit with this new baby?

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times back in March 2022, Hiddleston gushed about his romance with Ashton, stating, "I'm very happy." But what exactly does that mean? Was he talking about their love for each other or just their life together as parents? We're dying to know!

Their first public appearance together was at the 2021 Tony Awards, where they stole the show with their PDA-filled display. But it wasn't until the BAFTAs in 2022 that tongues started wagging about a possible engagement. That's when Ashton was spotted wearing a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger - and we couldn't help but wonder if it was a sign of things to come!

The announcement came just ahead of their appearance at the UK premiere of Hiddleston’s latest film, The Life of Chuck, during SXSW London; (seen in February 2024)

The couple has worked hard to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but sources close to them revealed that they're "very well suited" and enjoy the quieter side of life. We can only imagine how lovely it must be to have found your perfect match in the midst of the chaos of showbiz.

It's been reported that Hiddleston was wary of highlighting their romance due to the attention his past relationship with Taylor Swift drew. Ah, yes - those were the days when he couldn't keep a low profile even if he tried! After dating Swift in 2016, they didn't shy away from showing off their romance with public outings and even meeting each other's parents.

But what about his romance with Susannah Fielding back in 2011? That was just one of many high-profile relationships he's had over the years. It seems like Hiddleston has a knack for falling deeply in love, but also keeping it under wraps - at least until now!

The couple got together shortly after Taylor's split from Calvin Harris after first meeting at the Met Gala in May 2016, and during the first few weeks of their romance they travelled around the world together; (seen in 2019)

Thescholarlynote.com reported that sources close to the couple revealed they have been spending quality time together and even living together in Atlanta, Georgia. But what about their future plans? Will they settle down for good or keep their relationship a secret from the world?

As the news of their second child spreads like wildfire, we can't help but wonder - will Hiddleston finally open up about his relationship with Ashton? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this couple's love story is one for the ages!

Stay tuned for more updates on Tom and Zawe's romance as they prepare to welcome their second child!

Tom told the New York Times after his romance with Taylor: 'Yes, I'm protective about my internal world now in probably a different way. That's because I didn't realize it needed protecting before' (Tom and Taylor in 2016)
