Are Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton Married?
'We've been engaged for a long time, and I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already,' she explained, sharing that their family members awkwardly confronted them about a wedding that never happened.
She continued, 'There's some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way like, 'Okay, no invite, whatever.' It's like, 'No, no, no, it didn't happen.' We didn't do it in secret. It's just like a semantic thing.'
Her clarification comes after she referred to Tom as her husband during an interview with Vogue ahead of The Life of Chuck premiere at SXSW London in June. During that same interview, she revealed that she and Tom were expecting their second child together. (They welcomed their first child in October 2022.)
According to The Marvels star, she and Tom actually call each other husband and wife in private (despite only being engaged), so it's understandably why she'd slip up in a conversation about him. And in case you were wondering, the couple is in no rush to tie the knot. Per Zawe, she considers their engagement a sort of 'training period' for marriage, which she finds 'scary.'
'People kind of rush through engagement, and I'm like, 'Engagement is really useful.' Why is everyone like, 'I'm getting engaged to get married?'' she told Lily's co-host, Miquita Oliver. 'Be engaged. Work things out. Because that's like a big— that's a big yes that opens up a whole new tapestry of understanding between you, between you and each other's families, because you are saying yes to each other's [families].'
Zawe added, 'So, I've loved engagement, because you're learning. You're like, 'What is this yes gonna be later?' This is like a notch up from just being partners, boyfriend and girlfriend.'
Married or not, we simply love to see this super couple winning.

Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused by former National Youth Theatre boss
Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused as a teenager by the head of the National Youth Theatre, Michael Croft. Sir Chris said Mr Croft, who died in 1986, had invited him to dinner every evening while he was attending the company in London during the summer of 1978. Mr Croft was 40 years the then 16-year-old's senior and Sir Chris said one evening, having returned to Mr Croft's house, he came back from the toilet to find his host naked except for a silk robe. The MP said Mr Croft then asked him for sex, which he felt he had no option but to go through with, leaving him feeling like he was 'a 16-year-old whore'. In an interview with The Sunday Times ahead of the release of his book A Life And A Half: The Unexpected Making Of A Politician, Sir Chris said: 'I don't like telling this very much because I've not told it very often. 'It was always the same Italian in King's Cross. He would eat and drink, I would eat, then he would theoretically give me a lift home, except I always ended up at his house.' Sir Chris says Mr Croft never made an advance towards him again, with the pair remaining friends. An ordained minister, he conducted Mr Croft's funeral. 'He behaved absolutely appallingly, it's despicable,' Sir Chris added. 'Michael, in my case, managed to spot somebody who was gay at a time when nearly all homosexuality was illegal – certainly very frowned on – so presumed that people would keep a secret.' He said at least one friend during his National Youth Theatre days was also abused by Mr Croft. The 63-year-old also said he has been sexually assaulted by five male MPs during his time in Westminster, although he has not named or reported them. 'There was no system for doing so and I was frightened it would make me look bad,' he said, adding he felt homophobia in Parliament has declined during his 24 years as an MP. A statement on the National Youth Theatre website said: 'We are grateful to Chris Bryant for disclosing to our team the historical abuse he suffered in the company in the 1970s. We are very sorry that this happened to him and to others who have previously shared with us their accounts of historic abuse by the same perpetrator. 'As we set out in a public statement on the case in 2017, we stand in solidarity with all victims of abuse and encourage anyone who has experienced abuse, no matter how long ago, to speak to someone and access support. 'In this case the perpetrator has been deceased since 1986, but all reports made to us will be dealt with in accordance with our robust and formalised safeguarding policy and practice. 'While Chris writes he doesn't feel damaged by what happened, we recognise that being subjected to an abuse of power can have lasting consequences for many, in different ways. 'Anyone getting in touch will be listened to and treated with care and respect by trained professionals, in line with our certified trauma-informed practice. 'We are grateful to Chris for his support of our organisation today, and acknowledgement of how different a charity we are in 2025 to the one he encountered in the 1970s, with thorough safeguarding practices and policies in place.'

Noel Gallagher Wouldn't Buy His Music Zine. Now, He's an Arts Reporter.
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. Sure, The New York Times's national correspondents in the United States cover 50 states. But Alex Marshall, a reporter for The Times's Culture desk in Europe, covers dozens of countries, which requires navigating more than 40 national governments and dozens of languages. 'There was definitely a learning curve,' said Mr. Marshall, 43, who grew up in Goodmayes, a neighborhood on the fringes of East London, in the city where he is now based. In recent years, he has explored how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected artists, dancers and pop stars in both countries; looked at how rap music became the lightning rod for Sweden's problems with gang warfare; and investigated when — if ever — looted artifacts will be returned to their countries of origin. He's also camped out in the courtroom for the trial of Kevin Spacey, and attended Ozzy Osbourne's last gig in Birmingham, England. 'I don't think you could do this job unless you love every single culture form, or at least find them interesting,' said Mr. Marshall, who spent a decade as an environmental journalist before joining The Times in 2018. (He also traveled around the world researching a book on national anthems.) In a recent interview, Mr. Marshall shared how he navigates his beat, how he keeps up with the news and how he balances checking out cultural events for pleasure with covering them for work. These are edited excerpts from the conversation. Were you always interested in culture? I've always loved music. I started my own music fanzine as a teenager, which was an excuse to interview bands and get free CDs. I used to sell that in dingy music venues around London for a pound. Noel Gallagher refused to buy a copy, though he signed it, so I sold it to the person next to him for 10 pounds. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Where is Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed in 2025? Inside the rugged Welsh location and why it was chosen
The new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has been filmed in the "home" of the SAS, according to the show's professional trainers, and will see the celebs face the "hardest course yet". Speaking to the BBC, the show's chief instructor Billy Billingham opened up about the filming location of the latest celebrity series – starting tonight (Sunday 3 August) – which is in Wales for the first time. Ahead of the premiere on Channel 4 at 9pm, we've taken a deep dive into the location of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 to find out more about this breathtakingly rugged landscape, and why it was chosen for the series. Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 was filmed in Anglesey, which is an island off the northwest coast of Wales. "It's beautiful, of course, but it's unforgiving. It's a great test ground," chief instructor Billy said of the new location on BBC Radio Wales. "You can have four seasons in one day." Adding to that, a Channel 4 press release described the filming location as the "hardest course yet" for the celebrity contestants. "The elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers are taking these famous faces to Wales," the press release noted. Wales marks the "home of the first phase" of this SAS series, and there the contestants will "be stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media." "It's a birthplace of the special forces, the SAS, where we do all our training in Wales," Billy added of the location. For that reason, Billy says he and the other staffers have been wanting the show to "come home". "We've been wanting to come home, as we call it, for a long time," he explained, adding that Wales' rugged landscape and often harsh weather is a "test in itself" for the contestants. "It sounds exotic to go to New Zealand and Australia and all these places," Billy went on. "But it was great to come home. It offers everything we want." Previously, one season of the civilian edition was filmed in Wales, but this is the first time that the celebrities will be heading to Cymru for their SAS training. For other seasons, the show has taken contestants across the globe, filming everywhere from Scotland to Morocco, Chile, Vietnam and New Zealand. This year there's a new list of celebs taking on the SAS challenge on Channel 4. Here's who will be competing in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025... Head here for more on the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins cast, and our verdict on the contestant most likely to win. Holiday to Anglesey, anyone?
