Zendaya hints at Tom Holland engagement during Golden Globes
It looks like Tom Holland and Zendaya are officially engaged. Zendaya appeared on a red carpet wearing a massive diamond on her left ring finger. Although she did not draw attention to the new piece of jewelry, she didn’t exactly deny engagement rumors.
According to Us Weekly, a reporter asked the actor if she was engaged. While she said nothing, she reportedly pointed to her ring and shrugged her shoulder. Later, she had a moment with another reporter who was also wearing a new engagement ring. Allegedly, Zendaya and the reporter both pointed to their rings.
An insider confirmed the engagement to TMZ. According to the publication, Holland asked Zendaya to marry him privately. The proposal reportedly happened sometime between Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. The source did not say where Holland opted to pop the question. The couple, however, are keeping it quiet and haven’t begun to think about when their big day will be.
If their engagement progresses like their relationship, there won’t be an official confirmation from Zendaya and Tom Holland for some time. They managed to keep their relationship private for a long time before going public with the romance.
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s relationship timeline
While Zendaya and Tom Holland have yet to confirm their engagement, it wouldn’t shock fans. The duo have been together for years and became a fan-favorite couple quickly. They first met back in 2016 on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming. While they refused to acknowledge a romance at the time, rumors swirled that the pair were dating while they were doing press for the film. They were both just 20 at the time.
For years, the pair were spotted together out and about but insisted they were just best friends. Still, neither was seen with other dates during those years. In 2021, a photographer snapped Holland and Zendaya kissing in public. That first PDA seemingly confirmed their romance. They made their relationship “Instagram official” a few months later. Since then, they’ve traveled together, worked together, and supported each other on the red carpet and social media. They’ve talked about their romance and their life together but have worked to maintain their privacy.
