Tom Hiddleston welcomes second baby with partner Zawe Ashton

He described the birth as an ‘earth-shattering’ experience

English actors Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton have welcomed their second child.

Hiddleston shared the news in a GQ feature published on Monday, describing the birth as the “most beautiful, profound, earth-shattering, life-altering” experience.

While a specific birthdate was not disclosed, the interview took place in early December, with the birth reportedly occurring “just the other day”.

Hiddleston, 44, and Ashton, 41, met while starring in a 2019 revival of the play Betrayal.

They confirmed their engagement in 2022 and welcomed their first child later that same year.

“Becoming a father is the most important and meaningful thing that's ever happened to me, and the most important thing I will ever do,” Hiddleston told The Associated Press in 2025.
