Zawe Ashton Refers to Tom Hiddleston as Her Husband in Second Pregnancy Reveal
Zawe Ashton has revealed more than one surprise when she announced her second pregnancy over the weekend.
Just after walking the red carpet at the closing of SXSW London on Saturday, June 7, the actress, 40, shared the news with
Vogue
that she and Tom Hiddleston are expecting a second child together. The outlet referred to Hiddleston,44, as her husband in the pregnancy announcement, seeming to confirm that they are married.
Ashton joined Hiddleston at the festival for the premiere of his new movie, "The Life of Chuck". The pair held hands as they posed for photos on the carpet, and Ashton showcased her baby bump in an Emilia Wickstead sky-blue silk crepe gown detailed with ruffles and topped with a matching cape.
Ashton and Hiddleston first met while co-starring in a 2019 revival of Harold Pinter's play "Betrayal in London," followed by a run on Broadway in New York City, and got engaged in March 2022.
At the time, a source close to the production of the play said that Ashton and Hiddleston always had "lovely" chemistry together while working on the project.
"They were very private publicly, but behind the scenes, you could just see a lovely chemistry," the source recalled. "There were twinkles in both of their eyes."
After more than two years of dating, the couple seemingly confirmed their romance in September 2021 when they attended the Tony Awards together, marking their first public outing as a couple.
They first sparked engagement rumors in March 2022 after the BAFTAs, when Ashton was spotted wearing a diamond ring on that finger in a photo shared on Instagram by AJ Odudu. PEOPLE confirmed the engagement shortly.
In June of that same year, Ashton revealed that she was pregnant and expecting her first baby with Hiddleston. Similar to her latest pregnancy announcement, the actress made the big reveal on the red carpet while attending a New York City screening of her film "Mr. Malcolm's List". Months later, in October, the baby had arrived.
'Tom and Zawe are loving being new parents and are filled with joy,' a source told Us Weekly at the time.
Though the pair has kept their relationship under wraps, Hiddleston gave Ashton a sweet shout-out on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2023. While chatting about the second season of his Marvel series "Loki", he took a moment to gush about Ashton's recent role in another MCU project, "The Marvels".
'My other half is in The Marvels, and I'm very proud of her," he said. "So there you go. That's out this weekend."

Gal Gadot Blames "Snow White" Flop on Politics
Yara Sameh Gal Gadot is opening up on why Disney's live-action 'Snow White' remake underperformed at the box office. During a recent appearance on the Israeli TV program ' The A Talks ,' in which guests are interviewed by individuals on the autism spectrum, Gadot blamed the failure of Disney's live-action remake was partially due to the "pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel" amid the ongoing conflict with Palestine. The remake, in which Gadot played the role of the Evil Queen, tanked at the box office and was poorly received by critics. It grossed a mere $205.7 million worldwide, failing to make back its huge production budget, and garnered an average 38% rating on the Rotten Tomatoes site. Critics highlighted its bland production choices, uneven tone, and hit-or-miss songs. The film also suffered a wave of negative press in the months leading up to its release, with rumours of an on-set feud between Gadot and co-star Rachel Zegler and controversy over casting decisions. "I was sure this movie was going to be a huge hit," she said. "And then 7 October happened, and what happens – and it happens in all kinds of industries, including in Hollywood – is that a lot of pressure is put on celebrities and actors and creators to bring up things against Israel, and it happened,". Gadot continued: "I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office." The film faced boycott calls from pro-Palestine groups due to the involvement of Gadot, a staunch supporter of Israel and former soldier in the Israeli military. Zegler, 24, who played the film's titular character, expressed support for Palestinians on social media, fuelling rumours of a feud with Gadot. On Sunday, Gadot took to her Instagram Stories to clarify her comments, saying that 'the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures.' 'I was honored to join an extraordinary interview with inspiring interviewers, whose questions go straight to the heart,' she wrote. 'Sometimes we respond to questions from an emotional place. When the film came out, I felt that those who are against Israel criticized me in a very personal, almost visceral way. They saw me first and foremost as an Israeli, not as an actress. That's the perspective I spoke from when I answered the question.' Gadot added, 'Of course, the film didn't fail solely because of external pressures. There are many factors that determine why a film succeeds or fails, and success is never guaranteed.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
