Zendaya and Tom Holland Brings Movie Chemistry Into Reality As They Officially Engaged—-Zendaya and Tom Holland’s romance has reached new heights: They’re engaged.

Nearly four years after the pair—who played fated love interests in the most recent Spider-Man installments—went public with their off-screen romance, they’re soaring to the next level with a marriage proposal, TMZ, citing sources close to the couple, reports.

This engagement confirmation comes after Zendaya wore a gorgeous diamond ring on that finger while at the 2025 Golden Globes on Jan. 5, sending speculation into overdrive.

“Well congrats to zendaya and tom on the engagement i think??” a fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “That is a ROCK.”

Indeed, Zendaya and Tom first sent our real universe was sent into a tailspin when the actors were first seen engaging in PDA in July 2021, rumors of an off-camera relationship have followed the duo since as early as 2017, when fans began to speculate that the two were more than just friendly co-stars. And at the time, a source confirmed to E! News that they were in fact, dating after they bonded while filming.

“They got to know each other while on set,” an insider shared in July 2017. “They became friends and started getting romantic a few months ago. They both are such great people. It’s cool they got together. Everyone gets along with them.”

Nonetheless, Tom and Zendaya, both 28, denied the ongoing rumors, explaining in later interviews that they were just “friends” and continuously poked fun at the notion with jokes on social media.

But fast forward four years later, and their on-screen chemistry became, of course, undeniable in real life.
