He may be known as Newshub's hard-hitting political editor, but there's another issue close to Patrick Gower's heart: Whether Taylor Swift's romance with Tom Hiddleston is the real deal.

Speculation is rife the pop star and the Thor antihero are faking it, with many gossip websites writing off their very public relationship as a "faux-mance".

It led Gower to launch an investigation as to whether the relationship was real, even interviewing Prime Minister John Key.

Gower is refusing to lose faith, telling panellists on The Friday Story he was of the firm belief the romance was real.

"If we don't believe in true love, what do we have?"
