So, Tom Hiddleston has FINALLY broken his silence on TayTay

It's finally happened – Tom Hiddleston has broken his silence on the romance which has captivated the world since it all kicked off a few weeks ago.

While the romantics among us have enjoyed watching Taylor Swift fall head over heels for Tom Hiddleston, the cynics among us have enjoyed pouring scorn on the budding new romance at every opportunity.

From the not-so-candid beach shots to the 'I Heart TS' vest, the whirlwind relationship has been a little much for many of us to bear, and it looks like Mr. Hiddleston has decided it's time to address the critics.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Thor actor confirmed that his romance with Tay was as real as it gets, saying: "The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together and we're very happy,"

Responding to the countless suggestions that Tom had been caught up in the now infamous Taylor Swift publicity machine, the British star dismissed them unequivocally.

"That's the truth," he insisted. "It's not a publicity stunt."

With Taylor's former bae, Calvin Harris, having this week called Taylor out on her feud with Katy Perry as well as her decision to leak news she had written one of his tracks, Tom may have thought his girlfriend really needed a win this week.

So that's it then, it's NOT a publicity stunt…
