His Wife, Dating History, and Ex-Girlfriend Taylor Swift
Tom Hiddleston has had his fair share of romances in the film industry, but has never done so with any of his flames. Over the past few years, Tom has become largely private about what’s going on in his romantic life in near-ghost mode on social media. However, in the past he has encountered a handful of notable stars.
His first real relationship to put him in the spotlight was with his Wallander costar, Susannah Fielding. The pair dated for three years from 2008 to 2011 before going their separate ways. Reportedly, the split was prompted by Hiddleston’s desire to focus more on his career. The reason seemed very real as Tom entered the next level of his career and starred in 5 films between 2010 and 2011. At best, his focus yielded great results.
As Hiddleston continued to solidify in rumors about his love life made the rounds in the Hollywood media. It all started in July 2013, when he was linked to two women, including Sherlock actress Lara Pulver and record producer Jane Arthy. Tom has been photographed getting cozy with the two women on different occasions. He attended the Wimbledon final with Arthy but, as with Pulver, it was the only time they were seen together.
And then, in 2015, the English man was linked with Elizabeth Olsen. The rumors started after the duo seemed to share some undeniable chemistry during their press tour for I Saw the Light. Olsen didn’t let the rumors drag on too long, as she shut them down by confirming to Refinery 29 that they weren’t a thing.
Hiddleston’s next confirmed relationship after Susannah Fielding was with pop star Taylor Swift. This is his most publicized relationship to date. Rumors that the two were a thing began after they appeared to be flirting at the Met Gala in 2016. At the time, Swift was still dating ace DJ Calvin Harris. The suspicions proved true as Swift split from Harris around two months later and was spotted kissing Hiddleston on their beach date.
Fans quickly referred to them as Hiddleswift and then it looked like they were going to last forever. Hiddleston literally wore his heart on his sleeves when he was spotted wearing a t-shirt that read ‘I love Taylor Swift’ on it. In September 2016, after a whirlwind 3 months, they had separated.
Fans speculate that Talor’s song ‘I Did SomethingBad’ in his 2017 album Reputation was about his cheating with Harris and his relationship with Hiddleston. Tom’s split with the pop star seemed like an amicable solution , as he had nothing but kind words to say about her during his interview with GQ, and also shut down rumors that their relationship was just a publicity stunt.
