British actors Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton are reportedly engaged to be married.
Rumors started circulating of their engagement after Ashton was spotted wearing an enormous diamond ring at the 2022 British Academy Film Awards, according to Entertainment Tonight. The couple walked the red carpet together, hand-in-hand, where Ashton was able to mostly cover the ring with her draped pink gown and black clutch, ET reported.
They were reportedly congratulated for their upcoming nuptials by friends at the BAFTAs, but it was one Instagram selfie that gave away the news to fans, according to Sky News. (RELATED: D.L. Hughley Trolls Kanye, Blames Him For Kim Kardashian Dating White Man)
