Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift’s romance seems to have stepped up a gear, with the actor introducing the singer to his mum.

The couple, whose relationship went public when they were snapped on a beach together earlier this month, had been in the US but jetted to the UK so Tom could take Taylor home to meet his mother Diana Hiddleston.

Photos have shown the trio enjoying a walk along a beach in Suffolk.

They were also spotted strolling along a street near Ipswich, with Taylor looking very cosy with Diana as they walked arm-in-arm.

During their trip to America, it’s thought that Taylor, 26, took Tom, 35, to her home in Nashville to meet her parents.

The pair have yet to comment on their romance.
