Has Tom Hiddleston had a low-key wedding? Hints of marriage as Marvel superhero couple reveal second baby is on the way

Three ears is a long time to be engaged – and longer still to keep a secret.
So perhaps it's no surprise that Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton – a couple who tightly guard their privacy – seem to have finally let slip they are married.
The last official update on their relationship status came in 2022 when Hiddleston, 44 – who became a household name in BBC drama The Night Manager – confirmed they were engaged.
Later that year, they had their first child, but failed to make the baby's name or even sex public.
Now, with absolutely no fanfare, Hiddleston – also known for playing Loki in several Marvel movies – has been referred to as Ms Ashton's 'husband' in an interview.
The actress, 40 – a Marvel star herself, playing Dar-Benn – also confirmed to Vogue she is expecting their second child.
At the weekend they appeared on the red carpet for the UK premiere of Hiddleston's new film, Ms Ashton wearing a flowing custom sky-blue Emilia Wickstead gown and cape, with a baby bump just about visible.
Ahead of the London screening of The Life Of Chuck, an adaptation of a Stephen King story, Ms Ashton suggested to Vogue she was feeling a little nervous about the publicity, but that Hiddleston would be a reassuring presence.
She said: 'I feel like I'll be very held on an evening where, as an expectant mother, you can feel a little bit exposed.'
The couple met playing a husband and wife in the 2019 West End revival of Betrayal by Harold Pinter, which later transferred to Broadway in New York.
They confirmed they were an item in 2021 and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Tony Awards that year, when Hiddleston was nominated for Betrayal. The following year, Ms Ashton's diamond engagement ring was spotted at the Bafta Awards.
The low-key approach is in stark contrast to Hiddleston's highly publicised whirlwind romance in 2016 with pop star Taylor Swift.
Several years later, he told The New York Times: '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.'
