Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton had a delightful night out as parents at the prestigious 67th annual Evening Standard Theatre Awards in London on Sunday, November 19.
Hiddleston, aged 42, stylishly embraced Loki's color palette as he donned an elegant dark green velvet suit and a matching bowtie, complemented by a crisp white shirt. Ashton, aged 39, exuded glamour in a dazzling dark blue gown that shimmered captivatingly, elevated by a stunning cape adorned with silver shoulder embellishments.
The couple, engaged early in 2022, lovingly held hands and embraced as they posed for the cameras. At the awards ceremony, they were seen conversing with Ian McKellen, Paapa Essiedu, Rosa Robson, and other renowned theater stars from Britain.
Ashton and Hiddleston initially crossed paths while working in the theater industry. Their collaboration on the play Betrayal at London's West End in 2018 led to bringing the production to the United States the following year. While the play's run came to an end, their relationship was just beginning. Their status as a couple was confirmed when they made their first public appearance together on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in September 2021. The joyous news of their first child arrived the following year.
"According to an exclusive source, Tom and Zawe are embracing their new roles as parents with immense happiness and joy. Despite the challenges that come with being new parents, they are experiencing sleepless nights, but their excitement knows no bounds."
Hiddleston recently discussed his journey into fatherhood during an episode of the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, which aired earlier this month."

"Absolutely," he responded when questioned about whether his outlook had shifted after becoming a parent. "I likely had an inkling, but I couldn't have comprehended the profound impact it would have until it actually happened. It's a complete transformation."
Despite their preference for privacy, the couple has refrained from disclosing the gender or name of their child. However, they have been unable to avoid conversations regarding their connection to Marvel. Hiddleston has embodied the role of Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2011's Thor, while Ashton recently joined the MCU as the malevolent Dar-Benn in The Marvels, which premiered in theaters earlier this month.
Hiddleston expressed his pride in her and praised her performance in the Marvels during a podcast discussion on playing a supervillain. He recently watched her work and found it surreal to share these experiences. While he wants her to speak about her own work in her own way, he is incredibly proud of her. They have shared some laughs along the way, particularly about zippers and bathroom breaks.
Ashton previously mentioned Hiddleston's words of advice, including his suggestion to ensure enough zippers for bathroom visits while wearing a costume. She shared this during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in July.
She also revealed that he had more advice to offer. "He encouraged me to approach it with sincerity, hard work, and a strong dedication to creating a phenomenal experience for the fans. By doing so, he assured me that I would find the sets to be truly incredible." She expressed her gratitude for his empowering words.
