Loved-up: They began dating in 2019 after meeting and falling for one another while starring in a West End play. And Tom looked more smitten than ever with girlfriend Zawe as they put on a very affectionate display while frolicking on the beach
Putting his muscular physique on display, Tom stripped down to a pair of black swimming trunks. Meanwhile, Zawe put her phenomenal display as she slipped into a multicoloured string bikini.
The pair only had eyes for one another on the outing, laughing and joking together before puckering up a kiss as they treaded water.
After enjoying some quality couple time, the pair were seen returning to the shore where they chatted away with friends while towelling off.
Zawe later layered up in a black kaftan and accessorised with a beach hat, while Tom shrugged on a blue cotton shirt and grey shorts.
While the pair looked smitten on the outing, it was a far more low-key affair than Tom’s famous beach outing with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift back in 2016, in which he frolicked in the sea wearing an ‘I heart T.S’ shirt.

They even took the huge step of meeting one another’s parents, with Taylor jetting to the UK to spend time with Tom’s mother in Suffolk, while he went to her adopted home town of Nashville, before calling it quits in late 2016.
