While in conversation with the podcast host, Ashton went on to mention that though not married, she and the Loki actor call each other husband and wife in private. As for the reason, the actress claimed that it did not  “feel right” to address one another as boyfriend and girlfriend. 

Speaking of the engagement period, the Blitz star added, “It is the practicing [of] calling each other husband and wife. It is looking down at the ring finger and being like, 'Okay, this is the tradition that is potentially gonna come with this first yes.”

Elsewhere in the talks, the podcast host went on to chime in, as she said, “So you do already say, ‘My husband.’ That's quite nice.” Ashton then went on to quip, “Yeah. But it's also pissing off people who are actually marrying. So like, you realize that's just not real yet. And so, yeah.”
