You might want to sit down for this! After months of speculation, it’s officially been confirmed that Zendaya and Tom Holland are engaged. This news comes just one day after the Challengers actress appeared at the 2025 Golden Globes on Jan. 5 wearing a diamond ring on *that* finger in her left hand, which left many people talking.
According to People, Holland proposed to Zendaya at one of her family’s homes during the holidays. While appearing on the Dec. 18 episode of the Dish podcast, Holland teased that he had secret holiday plans. “I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we’ll be is a secret.[Secret] to you guys,” he joked. “I’ll know where we’re going.”
Holland and Zendaya have been close friends since they initially worked together on the Spider-Man films. However, their romantic relationship wasn’t confirmed until 2021 with a cute Instagram post of Holland calling Zendaya “His MJ.” Over the years the couple has worked to keep their relationship relatively private, and rightfully so, but small loving moments have inevitably come to light from the two love birds. One of my favorite swoon-worthy moments between the two was in February 2024 when Zendaya was asked “which member of the Dune cast has the most rizz” during a Buzzfeed interview, she replied that while not on the Dune cast, Holland had the best charisma and it worked for her.
Before their engagement was confirmed, many fans thought the diamond ring could have solely been part of Zendaya’s Golden Globes look. However, it seemed peculiar she would choose to place it on *that* finger on her left hand. Of course, fans immediately took to X and TikTok to speculate whether or not it was a real engagement ring from Spider-Man himself or just a fashion choice.

The ring wasn’t the only piece of evidence that Zendaya and Holland’s relationship is pretty serious. During the 2025 Golden Globes, fans also spotted a small tattoo of a tiny “t” on Zendaya’s left side, which peeked out right above her strapless dress. Many fans have theorized that the “t” stands for her beau.
Now that it’s officially been confirmed that a marriage is definitely happening between Holland and Zendaya, I couldn’t be happier for these two!
