THE MARVELS star Zawe Ashton has set the record straight amid rumours she's secretly married long-time love Tom Hiddleston.
The famous couple have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, going public for the first time in 2021 after a rumoured two years of dating.

It's known the pair got engaged in 2022, the same year they welcomed their first child together – and it was confirmed earlier this year they were expecting their second.
When the announcement noted Tom as Zawe's 'husband', rumours started circulating that they had secretly tied the knot.
This week, Zawe joined longtime pal Miquita Oliver on her Miss Me? podcast, clearing up the speculation – and revealing even family members had believed it, sending her upsetting messages in the process after 'not being invited'.
She told Miquita: 'We've been engaged for a long time. There are … I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already.'

'Those text messages were very … there's some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way!,' she added.
'Like 'uh, okay, no invite? Whatever.' It's like, no, no, no. It didn't happen! We didn't do it in secret. We haven't eloped.'
Despite the pair not making it official, Zawe did note that the pair do call each other husband and wife, which may have been where the confusion came from.
She added: 'It's just a semantics thing. I think at some point you're like 'girlfriend, boyfriend' … with a kid and another one on the way? Does that feel right?'
Zawe – who first shot to fame on Channel 4 sitcom Fresh Meat in the early 2000s – added that for some reason it 'p***ed off married couples' that they call each other husband and wife without actually getting married.
Tom and Zawe have been running in similar social circles throughout their career, and were first photographed at a friendly event in 2018 celebrating the career of Harold Pinter.

Shortly after, the pair were cast alongside each other in a play by the same famed playwright, Betrayal, portraying husband and wife Robert and Emma.
After a West End run in 2019, the show was transferred to Broadway, with the pair reprising their roles – during that time, it was noted they had got close.
They finally went public with their first official outing as a couple at the Tony Awards in 2021.
Since then, Zawe joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Marvels' villain Dar-Benn.
Tom famously plays Loki within the same film world, though their characters have never crossed on screen.

Despite remaining in the house together to co- parent, Christine is reportedly unhappy with the current living situation and wants to move out. She and Paddy paid £2.1million for the home in 2020 and it has a gym, his and hers dressing-rooms, an orangery and planning permission for a rear extension and roof terrace. They stand to make a big profit but sources say it's quite a pricey house even for posh Prestbury in east Cheshire. One said: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest. 'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022 and finalised their divorce last year. Christine has said: 'We live in separate parts of the house.' Paddy said the family's living arrangement 'doesn't feel tricky'.

Set to air over 12 episodes, the brand new competition series sees the contestants sent to a grand countryside manner. Left behind and for them to inherit is a vast fortune by the deceased who previously lived at the mansion. Liz, 60, portrays the fictitious deceased benefactor - with Rob Rinder appearing as the executor of her will. Appearing in the form of video messages for the players from beyond the grave, they must compete in a series of challenges to unlock money from the will. It comes from the same team behind smash-hit The Traitors and Squid Game: The Challenge. Speaking about the new series, Steve Handley, C4's Head of Reality & Entertainment, said previously: 'The Inheritance isn't just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals - it's a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that Reality fans love. "I can't wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises.' Earlier this year, Liz and Billy Ray went public with a loved-up picture in a field. Wearing festive bunny ears, Billy went in for a kiss on Liz's smiling mouth. Liz Hurley, 59, looks stunning as she strips off to barely-there bikini The pair first met in 2022 playing the romantic leads in the movie Christmas In Paradise. We revealed they reconnected last year when Billy turned to Liz for help as his third marriage crumbled. An insider said: "Everyone is saying Billy and Liz are world's apart, but actually they are very similar. 'They have a lot in common and have the same interests. 'Billy is also very much her type - he has a real twinkle in his eye and a naughty streak that she can't resist." The new romance came 12 years after she and ex-fiance Shane split in 2013. 'He really reminds her of Shane Warne, they have a very similar energy about them," they continued. 'Liz has a really good time with Billy they share a lot of laughs and he is a real flirt, which she loves. 'Shane was the love of her life and it has taken her years to be able to move on but she finally feels like she is able to. 'Billy isn't perfect and neither was Shane but Liz truly believes they have a strong future together. 'She is nearly 60 and deep down does want to share her life with someone and settle down. 'Everyone is saying he could be the one, so don't be surprised if she marries again.'

Hollyoaks star speaks out over sudden exit and says it's a 'massive shame'
Hollyoaks viewers were in for a surprise today as the latest episode confirmed that Robbie Roscoe had been killed by Jez Blake weeks ago despite appearing to be alive since then A Hollyoaks star has opened up about their unexpected departure from the soap opera. Viewers have been left stunned this week after it was revealed that a character had been killed off without fans realising until now. Charlie Wernham, 30, made his first appearance as Robbie Roscoe on the Channel 4 show in 2013, before leaving in 2016. He returned last year and his character has now been killed off more than a decade since his debut on the soap. Earlier this year, Robbie had taken prisoner by Jez Blake (played by Jeremy Sheffield), who decided to set him free from a shed in tonight's episode. Robbie then walked through the village but couldn't be seen by others, with it then revealed that he had been a figment of Jez's imagination after he had murdered him weeks ago. Viewers have shared their surprise over the storyline and now Charlie has spoken about his departure. He told the Sun: "It's a massive shame to say goodbye to the character and not going to be able to play him anymore but to be fair, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to play him again." The actor said that he's "very happy" that the opportunity to return presented itself. He added that he's "quite satisfied" following the "quite interesting ending," though admitted that it is "always sad" to finish a job like working on Hollyoaks. Charlie hinted that his character could return in the future, though he told the outlet that Robbie is "gone" for now. He said that his exit storyline feels "special" but said it's a "shame" to miss the show's 30th anniversary in October. Looking back on finding out about the storyline, he told Digital Spy: "Everyone was cautious, because I don't remember this ever being done before. I was excited, though, because it's something that I'd never done – and Robbie's done everything there is to do! If you're going to die on the show, it's quite an interesting way of doing it – and I'm all for doing different things." Although it feels like "the final chapter" for his character, Charlie told the outlet that other characters have "died and come back". He teased that "anything can happen," though suggested he wouldn't consider returning any time soon. Viewers discovered that Robbie had been killed by Jez in today's episode. He'd been imprisoned by the serial killer after previously being held captive by Grace Black (Tamara Wall). Jez was thought to have been hiding him in a shed. The latest episode showed Jez telling Robbie that they both deserved to get a "happy ending" with their respective partners, so he had decided to let him go. Freed, Robbie then ran to his fiancée Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence). However, Vicky didn't respond to Robbie, who tried speaking to her, and instead walked through him. It was then revealed in a flashback that Jez had killed him weeks ago but had continued to see 'Robbie' as a vision since then. Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed from 7am.
