Taylor Swift’s New Boyfriend: Our Relationship Is ‘Not A Publicity Stunt’

Tom Hiddleston said his and Taylor Swift’s relationship is not a publicity stunt.

After rumors circulated that the two were only dating because she wanted to be cast in the next “James Bond” film, the 35-year-old actor was asked if his high-profile relationship was the real deal. (RELATED: Photos Of Taylor Swift And Tom Hiddleston In England Surface)

“Well, um, how best to put this?” Hiddleston said during an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. “The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking.”

“That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.”

In June, Swift was spotted kissing Hiddleston on a beach in Rhode Island just weeks after she ended things with Calvin Harris after 15 months of dating. (RELATED: Taylor Swift Spotted With Tom Hiddleston WEEKS After Dumping Calvin Harris)
