As one of Marvel’s most beloved stars, a lot of fans want to know about Hiddleston’s love life. “Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late,” Hiddleston tweeted in 2012. In 2013, he told GQ UK about how he’s aware there’s interest in his love life. “I understand the curiosity. One day I hope when there’s really something to write home about, then I’ll be able to talk,” he said.

Actress Susannah Fielding was Hiddleston’s first public romance. The former couple met on the set of the BBC show Wallander in 2008 and dated for three years. In an interview with The Daily Mail in 2012, Hiddleston revealed that he and Fielding had split due to their busy careers. Hiddleston starred in his first Thor movie in 2011.
“The fact is we’ve split up. The relationship ran its course,” he said at the time. “People assumed it was about me getting well-known and leaving her behind. But she is a very talented actress and has lots of projects coming up. It’s just I am very driven right now and there isn’t really any time to have a proper girlfriend.”
He continued, “Acting just demands everything and if you don’t give it everything, there will be someone behind you who will.”

That same year, in an interview with InStyle UK, Chastain revealed that she has a “no actors” rule when it comes to dating.”I have dated an actor before, at Juilliard, but since then, I’ve only been on a couple of dates with one and I was so freaked out someone was going to take a picture of us, because they were famous,” she said.
In an interview with M magazine in 2015 to promote Crimson Peak, Chastain revealed the “most sexy thing” about Hiddleston.”What is the most sexy thing about Tom? It is hard for me to say, because I see him as a friend, but I think it is his voice. He has such a lovely accent, doesn’t he?” she said.

In July 2015, Us Weekly reported that Hiddleston and Olsen’s relationship had become more serious. “They’ve been talking constantly. It’s been good for the both of them. They really care for each other,” the source said. “Neither of them are looking to jump into a large commitment, but it’s getting more serious.” According to Star magazine, the two broke up at the end of 2015. “Elizabeth’s so focused on her career,” a source told the magazine at the time. “She wasn’t sure she could handle a serious relationship right now.”
In an interview with Refinery29 in September 2015, Olsen denied that she and Hiddleston were more than friends. “I mean, we definitely are friends and we’ve known each other for about four years. And we happened to be at a restaurant at a wrong time having dinner,” she said. “We all go out to dinner.”
