Tom Hiddleston’s fiancée Zawe Ashton, 37, flashed her diamond engagement ring as she enjoyed an al fresco brunch date in north London, on Wednesday, with her husband-to-be, 41.
The actress looked effortlessly stylish in in a brown boho maxi dress as the couple sat outside a discreet café, where the couple – whose romance blossomed after they starred in the 2019 play Betrayal – put on a very public display of affection.
Tom and Zawe previously set tongues wagging about a possible engagement as they appeared at the BAFTAs earlier this month, after she was pictured wearing a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger in a photo shared by host AJ Odudu

Tom was wearing a black pair of Nike shorts and a navy hoodie, which featured the words ‘The Devil’s Horsemen Stunt Team’ across on the front and back.
The actor pushed the arms of the hoodie up as he enjoyed the sunshine, and shielded his face with a baseball cap.
Ashton was dressed in a beautiful brown patterned summer dress, which she teamed with brown sandals and tortoiseshell sunglasses.
But her dazzling diamond ring was her most precious accessory, sparkling in the sunshine.

Zawe Ashton – who is best known for Fresh Meat alongside Jack Whitehall – put her hand on Tom’s leg, stroking it affectionately, before leaning in for a kiss.
The couple tucked into jam on toast, and she had a healthy green smoothie, while they drank a bottle of still water which he poured for her. Later, they enjoyed hot drinks together.
Their brunch date comes after the couple were reportedly congratulated by industry friends at the BAFTAs – after Zawe hid her hand as she took to the red carpet in a pink cape dress.
Zawe concealed her stunning diamond-encrusted ring from photographers on the red carpet, draping her stunning flowing pink gown over her hand.

Tom, meanwhile, looked devilishly handsome in a black blazer and trousers, as he posed hand-in-hand with Zawe.
However, later in the ballroom of London’s Grosvenor Hotel the couple caught up with the TV personality who snapped a picture which showed the diamond ring.
MailOnline has contacted Tom and Zawe’s representatives for comment.

Zawe and Tom met while starring in the 2019 play Betrayal and have kept their relationship out of the spotlight ever since.
Their play Betrayal followed a seven-year extramarital affair between two characters, Emma and Jerry, with the latter character being Emma’s husband Robert’s friend.
Tom played Robert in the play with Zawe starring as his on-stage wife Emma and Charlie playing Jerry.

The couple confirmed their romance during a steamy PDA-filled holiday at the beach in Ibiza in September last year before making their red carpet debut together at the Tony Awards in New York City.
Last year it was revealed the pair had moved in together after months of romance rumours, and they are now said to be living together in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sources close to the duo said The Night Manager star, and the actress are ‘very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life’.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Tom and Zawe have stayed quiet about their relationship but she has spent the last few weeks with him in the US.
‘They are very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life away from the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world.
Tom was also said to be wary of highlighting the romance due to the attention his past relationship with Taylor Swift drew.
A source said: ‘Tom really has fallen for Zawe in a big way. But he is so paranoid about his private life since his relationship with Taylor that he has gone to great lengths to keep this under wraps.’

Tom told the New York Times after his romance with Taylor: ‘Yes, I’m protective about my internal world now in probably a different way. That’s because I didn’t realise it needed protecting before.’
During Tom’s short-lived fling with Taylor the pair didn’t shy away from showing off their romance with lots of public outings.
The couple got together shortly after Taylor’s split from Calvin Harris after first meeting at the Met Gala in May 2016, and during the first few weeks of their romance they travelled around the world together.
They even took the huge step of meeting one another’s parents, with Taylor jetting to the UK to spend time with Tom’s mother in Suffolk, while he went to her adopted home town of Nashville, before calling it quits in late 2016.
Along with his highly publicised relationship with Taylor in 2016, Tom also previously dated his Wallander co-star Susannah Fielding, with the pair splitting up in 2011.
Wedding bells? The pair first sent tongues wagging as they appeared at the BAFTAs at the weekend with AJ posting a picture showing Zawe with an engagement ring
