Tom Hiddleston’s Friends Insist HE Broke Up With Taylor Swift

Earlier this week, we felt all of the emotions when reports emerged claiming that 2016’s answer to Sandy and Danny's Grease summer romance, Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift, had split.

NO THANK YOU, we didn't sign up for this.

At the time, a source told Us Weekly that it was Taylor who ‘put the brakes on the relationship’, claiming: “Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than she was comfortable with. Taylor knew the backlash that comes with public displays of affection but Tom didn't listen to her concerns when she brought them up.”

The source added that Tom is ‘embarrassed that the relationship fizzled out’.

However, now Tom’s friends are reportedly insisting that it was actually the actor who ended things with Taylor, rather than the other way round.

A theatre producer who worked with the Thor actor on ‘Coriolanus’ told Heat Street: “The reports are wide of the mark and come as news to all Tom’s friends. He grew tired of Taylor, it wasn’t the other way round.

“Tom drifted from her and it had nothing to do with her being put off by the publicity. It’s more to do with the fact he’s a commitment-phobe who gets bored very easily.”

The source added that his pals jokingly say he has a ‘three month rule’, claiming: “Even his sisters affectionately chide him on his lack of relationship staying power.

“They had a short break together in Rhode Island last month but it didn’t go that well because Tom was fixated with his fitness regime for 'Thor: Ragnorak', much to her displeasure. They agreed to end the relationship over the phone a few weeks later."

Something tells us this isn't the end of the #Hiddleswift tale.
