TAYLOR SWIFT and Tom Hiddleston are reportedly enjoying a secret romance.

    The pop princess, 26, and the actor, 35 — who is believed to be in the running to be the next James Bond — were pictured kissing on a beach near Swift’s Rhode Island home Tuesday, in pictures obtained by The Sun, just two weeks after Calvin Harris, 32, announced they had split.

    In the series of snaps the pair are locked in a romantic clinch, while walking along holding hands, with Swift burying her head in his shoulder in one particularly close moment.

    Looking perfectly at ease with one another in the pictures, Swift sports tousled hair, tied up in a ponytail, while wearing a brown jumper over a pretty blue mini dress and flats.

    She hides her eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses, while Hiddleston wears navy chinos and a smart jacket.

    Proving they wanted to capture the moment, Swift takes a selfie of the two of them together as they sit on a rock and enjoy the view, which is thought to be right by her home.

    She bought the hilltop mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island for nearly US$18 million in 2013.

    The pair first bonded at the Met Gala in May, where they were pictured taking to the dance floor.

    A source said Hiddleston wasted no time in asking Swift out after he learned she was single. They were texting quite a bit and he asked her out.

    Reveal magazine also wrote: “Tom has had the hots for Taylor since the Met Gala. When he learned she was single, he texted her loads and even sent her flowers. It was so charming and really put a smile on her face.”

    Swift and Harris had dated for 15 months before announcing an amicable split. “Taylor is not sad anymore about the breakup,” a source shared with E! News exclusively. “She knows it was for the best. They are not on bad terms. They have communicated since the breakup, but getting back together is something that’s not in the cards for either of them.”(SD-Agencies)
