AKM-GSITaylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston have resumed their sweeping romance back in the states.
The Grammy winner and her British beau drove into downtown Santa Monica, Calif. Wednesday night for a romantic evening of dining at Hillstone. The couple arrived at the American eatery hand in hand, grinning widely as photographers captured their every step.
The duo looked equally in "style"—a red-lipped Taylor was dressed in a sleek and mod velvet black crop top and matching mini skirt with gold sandals while Tom opted for one of his signature button-down shirts tucked into a pair of belted jeans. According to an eyewitness, the two looked very happy and were smiling the entire time. "It seems like they are always sharing a laugh or inside joke," the eyewitness added. "They were giggly and sweet."
Upon arrival, they were spotted walking into the restaurant's private entrance up to the VIP second floor. After nearly two hours, they left out of the same side doors while still clutching each other's hands.
While Tom initially forgot to open his girlfriend's door for her, he remembered and, ever the gentleman, returned to her side just in time to close it behind her. The songstress sat in the passenger seat while the Night Manager actor got behind the steering wheel. Before driving away, Tom took out his glasses to see and Taylor pulled down his visor for him, inciting a chuckle between the two. Their security rode in a separate car behind them as they headed right back to Taylor's house.
Since returning from their two-week Australian getaway, the couple has kept a low profile, hitting the gym separately on Friday before reuniting for a stroll in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, it's officially been more than a month since photos first surfaced of the two smooching on the Rhode Island rocks. In that time, the new couple soon jetted away, embarking on a European vacation to England and Italy. After a brief pit stop in Rhode Island for Fourth of July, the couple then headed to the land down under where Hiddleston was scheduled to resume his role as Loki in the upcoming sequel, Thor: Ragnarok. In all of that quality time, Tom and Taylor have quickly realized what they mean to each other.
"Taylor and Tom are in love with each other. He told her she is the kind of woman he wants to spend his life with," an insider revealed to E! News. "They have gotten very close. She is enjoying the time off from working. She has been writing during her travels, and Tom has been an inspiration in her music."
The Crimson Peak actor has also inspired other thoughts about Swift's personal future. "This is the kind of a man she would want to marry," another source added. "She has said he would make a great dad. They have talked about what they want in the future and kids are something that they would both like down the line."
