Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton are engaged, according to reports from The Mirror.

The couple appeared together at the 2022 BAFTAs last weekend, and Ashton was seen with a diamond-encrusted ring on her hand in an Instagram post with AJ Odudu, who was presenting on the red carpet that night.

Hiddleston and Ashton had starred together as husband and wife in the 2019 play Betrayal, and now appear to be making that happen in real life.

Speaking to The Mirror shortly beforehand Ashton joked that she had no intention of working with Hiddleston for the foreseeable future.

She said: “I’ve been working with Tom on stage for a year solid - every night - so now we need at least two years apart now!"

The pair had met when working on the revival of Harold Pinter's play Betrayal in August 2019.

They played a married couple named Robert and Emma opposite Charlie Cox, whose character Jerry has an affair with Emma.

Shortly after sharing the stage together, Hiddleston and Ashton sparked dating rumours when they were spotted attending the US Open together.

It wasn't until the 2021 Tony Awards that the two went public in their relationship.

Hiddleston has become well-known for his portrayal of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as the miniseries The Night Manager.

Meanwhile, Ashton is best known for her role as Vod in the Channel 4 series Fresh Meat, and will soon be joining Hiddleston in the MCU with a role in the 2023 film The Marvels.
