The couple’s romance blossomed after they starred in the 2019 play Betrayal and has only grown stronger since – eventually leading to a proposal in March.
In June, he confirmed he planned to marry the beauty, but kept tight-lipped about the romance, telling the LA Times: ‘I am very happy’ and nothing more.
Tom and Zawe spoke out about a possible engagement earlier this year when they appeared at the BAFTAs earlier this year, after which she was pictured with a huge diamond sparkler on her ring finger in a photo shared by host AJ Odudu.

The couple were reportedly congratulated by industry friends at the BAFTAs – after Zawe hid her hand as she walked the red carpet in a pink cape dress.
Zawe hid her gorgeous diamond-encrusted ring from photographers on the red carpet and draped her gorgeous flowing pink dress over her hand.
Tom, meanwhile, looked devilishly handsome in a black blazer and trousers, posing hand-in-hand with Zawe.

But later in the ballroom of London’s Grosvenor Hotel, the couple spoke to TV personality AJ, who snapped a photo showing the diamond ring.
Zawe and Tom have worked hard over the past few years to keep their relationship out of the limelight.
Tom played Robert in their 2019 play Betrayal, while Zawe starred as his wife Emma on stage.

The couple confirmed their romance during a steamy PDA-packed vacation on Ibiza’s beach last September, before making their red carpet debut together at the Tony Awards in New York City.
It was revealed last year that the couple had moved in together after months of romance rumors, and they would now be living together in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sources close to the duo said the star of The Night Manager and the actress are “very fit and enjoy the quieter side of life.”

An insider told The sun: “Tom and Zawe have kept quiet about their relationship, but she has spent the past few weeks with him in the US.
‘They are very suitable and enjoy the quieter side of life, away from the glitz and glamor of the showbiz world.’
Tom would also be wary of highlighting the romance because of the attention his previous relationship with Taylor Swift drew.
A source said: ‘Tom has really fallen for Zawe in a big way. But he’s been so paranoid about his private life since his relationship with Taylor that he’s gone to great lengths to keep it a secret.”
Making headlines: Tom previously had a short-lived romance with Taylor Swift (pictured together in 2016)
Tom told the New York Times after his romance with Taylor, “Yeah, I’m probably protective of my internal world in a different way now. That’s because I didn’t realize before that it needed protection.’
During Tom’s short-lived affair with Taylor, the couple did not shy away from showing off their romance with many public outings.
The couple met 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 traveled the world together.
They even took the big step of meeting each other’s parents, with Taylor flying to the UK to spend time with Tom’s mother in Suffolk, while heading to her adopted hometown of Nashville, before dropping out at the end of 2016.
In addition to his much-discussed relationship with Taylor in 2016, Tom also previously dated his Wallander co-star Susannah Fielding, with the couple breaking up in 2011.
