The announcement came just ahead of the U.K. premiere of ‘The Life of Chuck’, Tom Hiddleston’s latest film, which screened as part of SXSW London. Ashton accompanied him at the event, where she proudly showed her baby bump in a flowing sky-blue silk crepe gown by British designer Emilia Wickstead.

This marks the couple’s second child together. Ashton, 40, and Hiddleston, 44, had their first baby in October 2022, following a public baby bump debut earlier that year during a screening of Ashton’s film ‘Mr. Malcolm’s List’.

The pair first met in 2019 while performing together in ‘Betrayal’, a West End and Broadway play in which they starred opposite each other. Their off-stage relationship began soon after and became public in 2021 when they walked the red carpet at the Tony Awards.

Though both actors have kept much of their private life out of the spotlight, Hiddleston made a rare comment about their relationship in March 2022 during an interview with the ‘Los Angeles Times’, simply saying, “I’m very happy.”

Ashton is known for her work on stage and in films, while Hiddleston continues to enjoy global recognition for his role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Fans were delighted by the news of their growing family and praised the couple for keeping things graceful and grounded. With their second child on the way, Ashton and Hiddleston look set to continue balancing their high-profile careers with family life.
