Marvel’s Loki actor Tom Hiddleston and his fiancée and actress Zawe Ashton have confirmed that they are expecting their first child together. Zawe flaunted her baby bump at the premiere of her new movie Mr. Malcolm’s List in New York.

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton began dating a few of years ago when they met on the sets of their 2019 play ‘Betrayal.’ The couple, who kept their relationship under wraps for over two years, announced their engagement in June this year. In an interview with The New York Times earlier, the Loki actor had mentioned that he liked to keep his private life away from the media. “I’m protective about my internal world now in probably a different way,” Hiddleston was quoted as saying.

“If you go through life without connecting to people, how much could you call that a life? Because you have to fight for love. You can’t live in fear of what people might say,” he added. Tom Hiddleston is best known for playing Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while Zawe Ashton will next appear in the Captain Marvel sequel ‘The Marvels,’ which will release in February 2023.
