Hollywood stars Zendaya and Tom Holland, both 28, have taken their relationship to the next level, as the beloved Spider-Man co-stars are officially engaged. A family source confirmed the exciting news to People Magazine, marking a significant milestone in their years -long love story.
"Everyone close to them knew an engagement was coming," the source revealed. "Tom has wanted to propose for a while. He's always been crazy about Zendaya and knew she was the one. Their bond is truly special."
According to TMZ, Holland proposed during the holiday season at one of Zendaya's family homes. The couple reportedly shared the joyous news with friends around New Year's, although they have no immediate plans to tie the knot. "They are enjoying this milestone and aren't rushing into a wedding," another insider added.
The engagement was publicly confirmed when Zendaya attended the 2025 Golden Globes, dazzling fans not only with her stunning outfit but also with a glittering diamond ring on her left hand. The ring is believed to be a 5.02-carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring from Jessica McCormack's renowned engagement collection.
Holland had hinted at festive plans involving Zendaya's family during a podcast interview in December, keeping details playfully under wraps. The couple's relationship has been a topic of fascination since their on-screen chemistry as Peter Parker and MJ blossomed into a real-life romance.
Zendaya and Holland's love story has captivated fans worldwide. After years of insisting they were just friends, the pair confirmed their relationship in July 2021 when they were spotted sharing a kiss. A few months later, Holland made their romance Instagram official with a heartfelt birthday post for Zendaya, calling her "my MJ."
Despite their high-profile status, the couple has remained fiercely private about their relationship. In a 2021 interview with GQ, Holland explained, "This isn't my story. It's our story, and we'll share it when we're ready." Zendaya echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of "protecting the peace" in their relationship.
Over the years, fans have glimpsed the couple's affection through heartfelt gestures. In 2022, Zendaya wished Holland a happy birthday on Instagram, calling him "the one who makes me happiest." The following year, she was spotted wearing a gold ring engraved with Hollands initials, a subtle yet touching tribute to her partner.
Holland also shared his thoughts on their commitment to privacy, stating, "Our relationship is something we protect fiercely. Its our sacred space, and it has nothing to do with our careers."
