Tom Hiddleston has finally confirmed his engagement to Zawe Ashton.

The Essex Serpent actor, 41, told in a new interview on Tuesday that he is ‘very happy’ about his upcoming nuptials to the Fresh Meat actress, 37.

The couple’s romance blossomed after they starred in the 2019 play Betrayal and has gone from strength to strength since – eventually leading to a proposal in March.

During a chat with the LA Times he confirmed he was set to wed the beauty but kept tight lipped about the romance, simply saying: ‘I’m very happy’ and nothing more.

Tom and Zawe previously set tongues wagging about a possible engagement as they appeared at the BAFTAs earlier this year, after which she was pictured wearing a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger in a photo shared by host AJ Odudu. 

The couple were reportedly congratulated by industry friends at the BAFTAs – after Zawe hid her hand as she took to the red carpet in a pink cape dress.

Zawe concealed her stunning diamond-encrusted ring from photographers on the red carpet, draping her stunning flowing pink gown over her hand. 

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 TV personality AJ who snapped a picture which showed the diamond ring.   

MailOnline contacted Tom and Zawe’s representatives for comment at the time.

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

Their play Betrayal followed a seven-year extramarital affair between two characters, Emma and Jerry, with the latter character being Emma’s husband Robert’s friend.

Tom played Robert in the play with Zawe starring as his on-stage wife Emma and Charlie playing Jerry.

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 was also said to be wary of highlighting the romance due to the attention his past relationship with Taylor Swift drew.

A source said: ‘Tom really has fallen for Zawe in a big way. But he is so paranoid about his private life since his relationship with Taylor that he has gone to great lengths to keep this under wraps.’ 

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 realise it needed protecting before.’

During Tom’s short-lived fling with Taylor the pair didn’t shy away from showing off their romance with lots of public outings.

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.

They even took the huge step of meeting one another’s parents, with Taylor jetting to the UK to spend time with Tom’s mother in Suffolk, while he went to her adopted home town of Nashville, before calling it quits in late 2016. 

Along with his highly publicized relationship with Taylor in 2016, Tom also previously dated his Wallander co-star Susannah Fielding, with the pair splitting up in 2011.
