Zendaya’s diamond ring at Golden Globes sparks engagement rumors
Hollywood actors Zendaya and Tom Holland are reportedly engaged to be married after years of dating, TMZ and People magazine reports.
‘Peter Parker and MJ may be slinging their way down the aisle soon.
Zendaya and Tom Holland, whose Hollywood romance began with their starring roles in the “Spider-Man” franchise, are now engaged, according to People magazine and TMZ.
A “family source” confirmed the couple’s marital news to People. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Zendaya and Holland for comment.
Zendaya’s engagement to Holland comes after the “Challengers” actress sparked engagement rumors with her red-carpet appearance at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards.
While the 28-year-old served up Old Hollywood glamour in a caramel Louis Vuitton double silk satin column bustier gown, it was a ring on her left hand — appearing to be a diamond — that sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with some speculating that the accessory was Zendaya’s way of revealing the engagement.
During the awards show, a Los Angeles Times reporter asked Zendaya if she was engaged after the actress motioned to the ring during their exchange. In response, Zendaya reportedly “smiled coyly and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously.”
Zendaya ‘T’ tattoo – seemingly for Tom Holland – peeks out of Golden Globes look
Zendaya’s ring wasn’t the only part of her Golden Globes look that caught fans’ attention.
A tattoo, seemingly of the lowercase letter “T,” appeared tucked beneath the bodice of the actress’s Louis Vuitton dress. The sight sparked speculation that the ink was in reference to Holland’s first name.
“Finding out that Zendaya has a tiny ‘t’ tattoo and an engagement ring was not on my golden globes bingo card ðŸ˜ðŸ˜,” @4folklovermore wrote on X. “I’m so happy for my girl.”
When did Tom Holland, Zendaya meet?
Zendaya and Holland met while working on the 2017 superhero drama “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” The couple confirmed their relationship in the fall of 2021 after paparazzi photos leaked of the pair kissing inside a car.
From then to now, the couple has kept a low profile when it comes to public appearances and displays of affection, but they’ve made their romance known in subtle ways.
In an April interview with British Vogue, Zendaya gushed about how her beau navigated his sudden rise to superstardom thanks to his breakout role in the Marvel franchise films.
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she told the outlet. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”
Tom Holland on his relationship with Zendaya being ‘most sacred’ in his life
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, Holland spoke about why the couple is just fine keeping their relationship out of the public eye.
“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible,” he said. “We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
Around the same time last summer, the actor spoke highly of relationship to Zendaya, calling it the thing he holds “most scared” in life.
“I don’t talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible,” he said during an appearance on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast. “We both feel very strongly that that is the healthiest way to move on as a couple.”
