You're not the only one who thought Zendaya and Tom Holland were considering getting engaged. Reports indicate that the couple became engaged during the holiday season, which makes this especially true.
However, the veracity of these assertions has been brought into question as a result of the fact that Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, has claimed that Holland asked for his approval before proposing to one of his daughters. During an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, he stated that the reports were "a bunch of crap," and he stated that he was not aware of any request of this nature coming from Holland.
"That was a bunch of crap dealt out by TMZ," he told the outlet. "I don't know what you're talking about."
In the article that was published by TMZ, insiders close to Zendaya and Holland initially stated that the latter met with Coleman months before he proposed to seek his blessing. This demonstrates how traditional the 28-year-old is.
Despite the fact that the proposal was said to have taken place between Christmas and New Year's, it was not made public until Zendaya walked the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards while wearing a sparkling diamond ring.
Jessica McCormack is the one who designed the engagement ring, which features a diamond that weighs five carats and is set in a setting made of white and yellow gold. A staggering amount-more than $200,000-is the value of the 18-karat gold ring on its own.
Zendaya herself brought attention to the ring while she was attending the Golden Globes, which led to the notion that she was engaged prior to the announcement of the news.
Enstarz reported that a source described the proposal as "sweet and romantic," while Holland reportedly described it as presented in a "traditional" way.
Sources report that Zendaya's friends and family, including her mother Claire Stoermer and her five siblings, are overjoyed by the news.
Also, the pair intends to start a family together in the future.
While this was going on, a source had earlier stated that Zendaya and Holland would prefer to have a more conventional family structure rather than having outside assistance, such as nannies or babysitters, take care of their children.
Following the purchase of their Richmond property, which cost £3.7 million ($4.6 million), the couple now leads a more private life together.
Holland has expressed his wish to take a vacation from acting in order to focus on family matters whenever they have children, despite the fact that the celebrities have, for the most part, kept their relationship a secret since they announced that they were dating in 2021.
During a recent interview with Men's Health, he expressed his desire to leave the entertainment industry and stated that he envisions himself as "just a dad" in the future.
Business Times has reached out to Zendaya for additional comments.
