Tom Holland and Zendaya, the stars of the "Spider-Man" franchise and one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, are officially engaged, sources confirmed. Holland proposed during the holiday season at one of Zendaya's family homes in the U.S., in what insiders described as an intimate and romantic moment shared solely between the two. The engagement follows years of a private yet highly followed relationship that began after the duo met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.
Speculation about the couple's engagement surged after Zendaya appeared at the 2025 Golden Globes, wearing a dazzling diamond ring prominently displayed on her left hand. The piece, reportedly a 5.02-carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring by Jessica McCormack, signaled a significant milestone in their relationship. Neither Holland nor Zendaya has publicly commented on the engagement, but sources close to the pair confirmed the news.
The proposal was understated, reflecting the couple's preference for privacy. "Tom didn't make a huge show of the engagement. It wasn't over-the-top, just very romantic and personal," a source shared. Holland's low-key approach aligns with the couple's ongoing efforts to keep their relationship away from the glare of public scrutiny.
The couple's romance became public in July 2021 when they were spotted sharing a kiss in a car, following years of maintaining they were just friends. Months later, Holland celebrated Zendaya's birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post, affectionately referring to her as "my MJ." Despite their celebrity status, they have both been adamant about keeping their personal lives private. "This isn't my story. It's our story, and we'll talk about it when we're ready to talk about it together," Holland told GQ in November 2021.
Zendaya, who gained widespread acclaim for her role in HBO's Euphoria, has echoed similar sentiments in interviews. In a 2023 conversation with Elle, she emphasized her commitment to "protecting the peace" in her relationship with Holland. "Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share," she said, adding that navigating public interest is "something I'm learning to balance."
Holland has similarly spoken about their efforts to shield their relationship from the spotlight. On Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in July 2023, he described their bond as "the most sacred" part of his life. "We both feel very strongly that privacy is the healthiest way to move forward as a couple," he noted.
The engagement marks the latest chapter in their journey as a couple, which fans and industry insiders have followed with keen interest. While the pair has yet to make wedding plans, sources close to them suggest the process may take some time given their demanding professional schedules.
Both Zendaya and Holland are currently juggling high-profile Hollywood commitments. Zendaya is set to reprise her role in the Dune sequel, while Holland continues to explore projects beyond his role as Spider-Man. Despite their busy lives, the couple has consistently made time for each other, with Holland recently sharing plans to spend the holidays with Zendaya's family.
