In a new interview with [_The Telegraph_](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/tom-hiddleston-interview-work-public-entitled-private-life/), he made it clear he’s finished talking about his ex once and for all. When asked if he regretted anything about their extremely public relationship, he became blunt. “What should I regret, in your mind?” he asked “testily,” according to the publication. He continued: “I would rather not talk about this if that’s alright.” “Everyone is entitled to a private life,” he [said](http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/tom-hiddleston-regret-romance-taylor-swift/story?id=45964980). “I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment and in my mind I don’t conflict the two. My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life. And those two things are separate.” Last month, Hiddleston [told _GQ_](http://www.gq.com/story/tom-hiddleston-cover-profile) that his summer romance with Swift was absolutely “real,” despite [speculation](http://www.refinery29.com/2016/09/122453/tom-hiddleston-using-taylor-swift-fake-relationship) it wasn’t. “Taylor is an amazing woman,” he said. “She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” \[H/T [_the Telegraph_](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/tom-hiddleston-interview-work-public-entitled-private-life/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4695914/tom-hiddleston-doesnt-talk-taylor-swift/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4695914/tom-hiddleston-doesnt-talk-taylor-swift/"},"headline":"Tom Hiddleston Doesn't Want to Talk About Taylor Swift Anymore","datePublished":"2017-03-08T22:17:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:07.562Z","description":"'Everyone is entitled to a private life'","url":"https://time.com/4695914/tom-hiddleston-doesnt-talk-taylor-swift/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4031e7cda9ce8f08/6988a505a988cafb8c6b952b/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-breakup.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kate Dwyer","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/kate-dwyer/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4031e7cda9ce8f08/6988a505a988cafb8c6b952b/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-breakup.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tom Hiddleston And Taylor Swift Sighting In Broadbeach","caption":"Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia on July 10, 2016.","creditText":"Jerad Williams—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4695914/tom-hiddleston-doesnt-talk-taylor-swift/","name":"Tom Hiddleston Doesn't Want to Talk About Taylor Swift Anymore"}}]}] ```
