Tom Hiddleston casually revealed in a recent GQ interview that he and his partner, actress Zawe Ashton, have welcomed their second child.
Hiddleston famously shared a high-profile romance with Taylor Swift in the summer of 2016. On the Fourth of July that year, MTV Australia published shots of the actor appearing to declare his affection for the songstress on a printed tank top that read, “I Heart TS.” Swift, who was 27 at the time, wore a red bikini as she frolicked in the ocean with the action star.
Tom Hiddleston Tells GQ About His New Arrival
GettyIn an interview published December 29, 2025, GQ’s Olivia Ovenden said Hiddleston told her he welcomed his second child into the world “just the other day.” She says in the piece that the actor casually brought up the topic while talking with her saying, “My sister’s baby was born this morning,” before musing, “Isn’t birth the most beautiful, profound, earth-shattering, life-altering experience there is?”
Back in June, Ashton announced via Vogue that she was expecting another child with Hiddleston, after welcoming their first baby together in October 2022.
Ashton was photographed by Vogue while preparing to reveal her bump during a red carpet appearance while dressed in an Emilia Wickstead gown. Ashton, who played Dar-Benn in “The Marvels,” explained to the magazine how her relationship with the designer came about. She said, “We met years ago at the British Fashion Awards when she dressed me and we attended together. We had the most fabulous night and instantly felt like kindred spirits. We aligned so much on fashion and womanhood, and I’ve always loved her designs.”
Who Has Tom Hiddleston Dated?
GettyAccording to Parade’s relationship timeline for Tom Hiddleston, the London native has not had many publicly confirmed romances.
Hiddleston walked the red carpet at the 2021 Tony Awards with Zawe Ashton, but the report says they dated for a few years prior to that, keeping things lowkey.
Back in 2013, writer Lorraine Candy said on Twitter that musician Jane Arthy was Hiddleston’s girlfriend after she says she sat next to them in the audience at the Wimbledon final.
When GQ UK asked him about the rumor, he said, “One day I hope when there’s really something to write home about, then I’ll be able to talk.”
In 2015, Parade says Hiddleston was rumored to be involved with his “I Saw the Light” costar Elizabeth Olsen, but the outlet points out she told Refinery 29 that the pair weren’t dating, and that “people can think what they want.”
By far, Hiddleston’s highest-profile relationship to date has been with Taylor Swift.
