Tom Hiddleston's fiance Zawe Ashton reveals 'toxic' messages after wedding claim
The couple met in 2019 while co-starring in the stage show Betrayal, confirming their relationship two years later in 2021 after mounting rumours.
Loki star Tom popped the question in 2022, and the pair welcomed their first child the same year.
Last month, Zoe confirmed the couple were expecting their second child amid rumours they had married in secret.
A story in Vogue sharing the announcement referred to Tom as her 'husband', with The Marvels star Zawe explaining to Miquita Oliver on the Miss Me? podcast how the situation unfolded.
'We've been engaged for a long time,' she explained. 'There are … I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already.'
The Fresh Meat actor revealed that they had received 'toxic paragraphs' from family members when questioned about the rumoured marriage, confirming that they had not eloped.
'Those text messages were very … there's some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way! 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.'
She went on to say that she and Tom do call each other husband and wife, which adds to the confusion.
'It's just a semantics thing,' she said, adding: 'I think at some point you're like 'girlfriend, boyfriend' … with a kid and another one on the way? Does that feel right?'
Miquita joked that the couple might have to set a date soon, to which Zawe responded: 'Yeah, but it's also p*****g off people who are actually married. So like, you realise that's just like … not real, yet.'
The Velvet Buzzsaw star said she and Tom had considered getting married in 'different ways' over the years.
Tom is notoriously private about his relationship with Zawe after being linked to pop sensation Taylor Swift in 2016.
Addressing the relationship and his need for privacy, he told The Telegraph: 'Everyone is entitled to a private life. I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment and in my mind I don't conflict the two. More Trending
'My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life. And those two things are separate.'
He previously praised Swift to GQ, calling her an 'amazing woman.'
The Avengers star continued: 'You have to fight for love. You can't live in fear of what people might say. You know, you have to be true to yourself.
'I have to be so psychologically strong about not letting other people's interpretations about my life affect my life. A relationship exists between two people. We will always know what it was.'

Hailey Bieber shares very rare snap of son Jack Blues amid baby number 2 rumours
Businesswoman and model Hailey Bieber has delighted fans by sharing a very rare glimpse into her motherhood journey amid rumours that she and husband Justin are planning their second baby Proud mum Hailey Bieber has shared a rare snap of her son Jack Blues ahead of his first birthday. Hailey, 28, and her husband Justin Bieber, 30, welcomed their son in August and the couple announced the birth on August 23, 2024. They had previously announced Hailey's pregnancy in May after keeping it under wraps for months on end. Taking to Instagram on Sunday night, Hailey posted a very rare photo of her nearly one-year old son playing in the grass one a sunny summer day. It comes after Justin marked an incredible milestone after months of 'marriage woes' and fan concern. The sweet snap saw her blonde-haired little boy don a neon green pair of dungarees as he sat in the grass. Model and influencer Hailey captioned the post: "Summer things part 1". The photo dump also included several seflies and some home-cooked food content. The sweet snap of baby Jack Blues comes after it was reported that Hailey is ready to try for a second baby with husband Justin - but only if they can step back from the public eye. Despite complications during the birth of Jack Blues last August, which led to Hailey fearing for her life, the model and socialite is understood to want to extend her family. An insider said: "Hailey wants to have a second child with Justin as long as they can step back from the public eye a little bit. "She loves working on her company [Rhode Skin] and modelling, but she feels she would need some time away from the madness so she could be truly zen with it all and really enjoy the pregnancy." Hailey and Justin's plans come despite speculation of marital difficulties earlier this year, claims that Hailey strongly refutes. Fans shared their concern when Justin unfollowed his wife on social media. But sources understand two-time Grammy winner Justin, who married Hailey in 2018, is eager to have a second child too. The insider told Mail Online: "While he might appear out of step at times, the truth is he's quite down-to-earth and cherishes being a dad." Yet, if Hailey does fall pregnant again, it is believed she will want to stay near her home in Los Angeles - although her modelling career does involve travel. The entrepreneur, who was modelled for Vogue, likes being a "top dog" in the industry, the source added. "She will travel for work because she likes being a 'top dog' in the modeling world, but if she is pregnant again she will want to do her shoots closer to home. "That's pretty normal for any woman; no one wants to jet-set all over the globe with a baby bump and a stroller," the source continued. Hailey launched her skincare and beauty brand Rhode in 2022, sold the company to e.l.f. Beauty in a blockbuster $1 billion acquisition deal in May. The mum of one remains as the chief creative officer and head of innovation for the brand. But her first pregnancy was traumatic, and culminated in an 18-hour labour, which the actor called "the hardest thing I've ever done". Hailey told Vogue: "That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun. "They broke my water. I went into labour and I laboured for a few hours. No epidural, nothing." After labour, she experienced a postpartum haemorrhage, which she feared she wouldn't survive.

Great British Menu's Andi Oliver admits she 'wanted to kill' BBC star and 'would do time' Andi Oliver has recently opened up about her daughter Miquita's early career in broadcasting as she revealed she "wanted to kill" one BBC star over comments allegedly made about her daughter Andi Oliver has shared her true feelings towards Chris Moyles (Image:for Andi Oliver) Great British Menu star Andi Oliver has spoken out in support of her daughter Miquita over comments that radio host Chris Moyles allegedly made about her when she was 16-years-old. In a wide ranging interview, the TV personality reflected on the challenges and difficulties her daughter faced while she was making a name for herself in showbiz in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During her recent chat with the I newspaper, the TV star opened up about one specific incident involving radio host Chris Moyles, recalling: "Miquita was 16 and he had a phone-in on his show of: 'Would you shag her?' On Radio One. This would have been around 2000. I wanted to kill him. I still kind of do." As she grew increasingly angry, she added: "There aren't many people I loathe who I've never met, but I'd do time for that man." She began hosting the Great British Menu in 2017 (Image: Getty Images) Andi had originally raised Miquita alone, but has been with her partner Garfield Hackett since her daughter was 10-years-old, with the couple then sharing parenting duties. Miquita was just 16-years-old that she rose to fame while hosting the former Channel 4 show Popworld. Hosting the show alongside Simon Amstell until 2006, the show saw the pair interview a range of contemporary artists as well as hosting live performances and chatting about the latest celebrity gossip. Miquita was just a teenager when she began hosting the Channel 4 (Image: Alan Chapman/Dave Benett/Getty I) After initially finding fame as a teenager, it is probably for her Miss Me? podcast on BBC Sounds alongside her childhood friend, Lily Allen that Miquita is best known. While radio host Chris Moyles has become one of the most recognisable voices in broadcasting in recent decades, his time at BBC Radio 1 came back in 1997 when he started hosting the early breakfast show. While he later went on to appear in various other slots on the station, it was in 2004 that he was given his own breakfast show, where he stayed in the role until 2012.

The couple also shared some sweet gifts and a snap of their wedding. She also showed off the gifts they appeared to exchange, along with video of their cuddled-up feet. Heidi previously opened up about her relationship with Tom and said it almost never happened as she wanted to 'stay home' on the night they were supposed to meet. She told People: 'I really wanted to stay home, but then I gave myself a little kick in the butt.' The couple met at a friend's party, and seven years later, Heidi and the Tokio Hotel guitarist got engaged in December 2018 tied the knot just two months later. The loved-up couple also ended up getting matching tattoos, although the model joked that his 'looks much better'. Although Tom is 17 years younger than her, Heidi said she doesn't listen to any criticism she gets on their age gap. She said: 'When our door closes at home, I don't really care so much what happens around us. I've learned things from my husband that I didn't know I was capable of doing.' She added: 'For me to be older, it doesn't matter. I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy, even now at 52' 'The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You're not off the shelf. We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don't hide in your 50s. Beauty is ever-changing, and I'm here for the change. If it's always the same, life is boring.'
