Tom Hiddleston is engaged to girlfriend Zawe Ashton, Mirror Online can reveal.
The Loki actor, 41, and The Marvels actress - who co-starred as husband and wife in the 2019 play Betrayal - are now set to seal the deal in real life.
The pair were congratulated by industry friends at the EE BAFTAs 2022 on Sunday night.
A radiant Zawe, 37, concealed her stunning diamond-encrusted ring from photographers on the red carpet, draping a black handbag over her hand instead.
But in the ballroom of London's Grosvenor Hotel she chatted to pal AJ Ododu - who later shared a snap of her and the happy couple on her Instagram.
In it, Zawe's ring is clearly visible.
Shortly before, she joked to The Mirror that she had no intention of working with Tom for the foreseeable.
She laughed: “I’ve been working with Tom on stage for a year solid - every night - so now we need at least two years apart now!."
Tom was previously one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors.
He enjoyed a whirlwind romance with pop star Taylor Swift in 2016 but called time on their relationship after three months of dating.
He was also romantically linked to Bollywood star and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra after the pair presented an award at the Emmys in 2016 together.
Zawe told The Mirror she had been living between LA and London during the pandemic.
She’s recently been working on a period drama called Mr Malcolm's List where she plays a character living in 1800s England called Julia Thistlewaite.
Zawe said: "I’ve got into period dramas late - everyone else is over them , but I only want to do them now. They are so freeing."
One thing about her new role that was not so freeing is her costume.
Zawe, who was born in Hackney, east London, to a Ugandan mum and British dad, said: “I’m glad period dramas are diverse now - like Bridgerton, it’s great.”
She said : “I’m wearing the full costume - the bonnet, and a corset and it pushes your boobs up but the costume is from an era where the skirt is straight down."

In August 2019 the two co-starred in the revival of Harold Pinter's play Betrayal, where they played a married couple named Robert and Emma opposite Daredevil's Charlie Cox, whose character Jerry has an affair with Emma.
Interestingly enough, the 2013 revival of the play starred another real-life couple, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.
Shortly after sharing the stage together, Hiddleston and Ashton sparked dating rumours when they were spotted attending the US Open together.
Yet it wasn't until the 2021 Tony Awards in America that they went public.
In September that year they were pictured showing a rare PDA as they holidayed in Ibiza, Spain.
In February 2021 it was reported that Ashton would be joining the cast of The Marvels, opposite Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. She will play a villain in the upcoming villain - just as her other half plays loveable villain Loki.
