Tom is widely recognised for his role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while Zawe Ashton has also joined the MCU.

Although Tom and Zawe are engaged, they have not yet married. Ashton explained why the couple refers to each other as husband and wife despite not having walked down the aisle yet. She said, "We call each other husband and wife because, at some point, [saying] girlfriend-boyfriend [when we have a] kid, and another on the way, does that feel right?” she quipped. “It’s also pissing off people who are actually marrying. So, like, you realize that’s just not real yet.”
