The Spider-Man actor and the Euphoria star fueled engagement rumors after she was photographed at the Golden Globes on Sunday (January 5), wearing a large diamond on her left ring finger. 

Sources told TMZ that Tom “popped the question between Christmas and New Year’s,” in a “very intimate setting” at one of Zendaya’s family homes in the United States.

Highlights
  • 'Spider-Man' co-stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are engaged.
  • Tom reportedly proposed between Christmas and New Year's at Zendaya's family home.
  • The proposal was romantic and intimate; Zendaya wore her ring at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.

    The couple met on the set of the 2017 Marvel film Spider-Man: Homecoming, where they played love interests. Soon after, rumors began to swirl about their connection extending beyond the big screen.

    “They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another,” an insider told People in 2017.

    “They’re both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up. They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together,” another source said.

    Their relationship was confirmed in July 2021 when they were seen kissing in a car.

    Two months later, they went Instagram official when the British actor celebrated Zendaya’s 25th birthday.

    “My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when you’re [sp] up xxx,” he captioned a photo of them together.

    “Calling now♥️,” Zendaya replied.

    Zendaya and Tom prefer to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. In a 2023 interview with Elle, the California-born star shared her experience with trying to protect her privacy while living in the public eye.

    “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share,” she said. 

    “It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”

    The proposal was reportedly “romantic and intimate” and took place at Zendaya’s home

    Similarly, Tom discussed the challenges of keeping his love life private during a 2021 interview with GQ.

    “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” the 28-year-old shared.

    “The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own,” Zendaya told the outlet.

    “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”

    “This is the fairytale we all wanted,” commented a fan

    I think Tom & Zendaya are adorable, and that this is an exception to my usual distaste for celebrity news.
