Tom Hiddleston and his fiancée Zawe Ashton are both extremely well-known thanks to their impressive credentials as actors. Tom, 44, is reprising his role in the gripping BBC series The Night Manager, which returns for a second series on New Year's Day. Meanwhile Zawe, 41, is known for her work in Fresh Meat and the action-packed film, The Marvels. She's also a successful playwright and theatre actress.
Away from their glittering careers, however, the couple are notoriously private, just recently welcoming their second child together. They're not often spotted in public together, preferring to fly under the radar, and have only attended a handful of A-List events as a duo such as red-carpet premieres or star-studded tennis matches in Wimbledon.
Find out what we know about their family life in London…
Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton's low-key family life at home
It's thought that the pair reside at Tom's four-bedroom home in Belsize Park which he bought some years ago. The property was estimated to be worth around £4.8 million in 2016, though it's likely the value has increased dramatically in line with the recent market.
Belsize Park, an exclusive part of north London located in the borough of Camden, is just a few minutes away from the leafy Primrose Hill; another exclusive hotspot that is notorious for its highly wealthy and famous residents.
Tom's home underwent an impressive renovation when he bought the property as it was reportedly used as an art studio before being transformed into a stunning living space.
Though Tom has never shared any photos inside his property, the Loki actor is known to locals in the area and has been photographed out strolling in the pretty neighbourhood many times.
Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton's relationship timeline
Tom and Zawe have been an item ever since 2019 after starring together in the stage production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal on Broadway.
They kept their romance a secret until 2021 when they confirmed they had struck up a romantic relationship.
Evidently, they started as they intended to go on. Although their relationship is no longer a secret, they've continued to bask in their own privacy.
The pair got engaged sometime in late 2021 but the news wasn't made public until Zawe wore a stunning oval cut engagement ring to the BAFTAs in February 2022 – proving how they had opted for a low-key announcement.
Similarly, Zawe made an appearance at a screening in New York in June of that year during which she announced they were expecting their first child.
The actress looked sensational in an exclusive shoot with Vogue who covered the screening and broke the news of her pregnancy to the world.
By the time the news of the pregnancy was out, Zawe was already quite far along in her pregnancy and they welcomed their baby in October 2022.
US Weekly confirmed the arrival, explaining how the new parents were over the moon to welcome their healthy baby into the world. They have not disclosed the name or sex of their little one.
In June 2025, Zawe announced they were expecting a second child together, sharing the news with Vogue. But after the outlet referred to Tom as her husband, Zawe clarified their relationship status during a podcast appearance.
"We've been engaged for a long time and there are, I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already," she said on the Miss Me? podcast. 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." Although they haven't officially tied the knot, Zawe said she and Tom "call each other husband and wife".
The couple officially became parents for the second time in November 2025, with Zawe confirming she had quietly welcomed their second child. The star shared the exciting update with a post marking her visit to the Little Village baby bank charity, revealing she was in "postpartum recovery".
On 10 December, the new parents walked the red carpet together in London for the UK premiere of The Night Manager season two.
Tom has now opened up about his life as a dad of two in a new interview with GQ, saying that birth was the "most beautiful, profound, earth-shattering, life-altering" experience.
