During an exclusive "Mr. Malcolm's List" screening in New York City, the English narrator shared the good news of her pregnancy.

As Vogue noted, Ashton had a growing baby bump and was swathed in Sabina Bilenko Couture's beige flowing tulle dress decorated with beads, appearing so striking.

Bilenko voiced her thoughts on designing the beautiful gown for the movie star, saying:

"It was such a privilege to work on this dress for Zawe. She is such an incredible actress, and the way she carries a look on the red carpet is unparalleled."

Ashton indeed looked totally captivating for the occasion commemorating the debut of the Regency era production in which she acts as Julia, a 19th-century society woman courting and later seeking revenge on the character, Mr. Malcolm.

The English actor did not say much about their relationship, possibly due to his highly publicized affair with superstar Taylor Swift in 2016. However, he maintained that he and his sweetheart were "very happy."

It is no news that rumors of the couple's engagement started at this year's BAFTA ceremony when red carpet host AJ Odudu shared a snap of Ashton wearing a massive diamond ring.

She was also noticed to have hidden her left hand between the folds of her dress as she walked down the red carpet with her beloved husband-to-be.

The "Betrayal" couple are pretty private about their relationship, ensuring not to reveal their engagement when it happened in March, and even the beginning of their relationship was not widely known.
