Tom Holland and Zendaya’s love story is straight outta a romance movie. Like, literally. The couple met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming back in 2016, and made it official in 2021 (we all know where we were when those car kissing photos emerged!).
Since then, they’ve been serving major couple goals both on-screen and IRL, earning their spot as one of the cutest (and most stylish) pairs in Hollywood. And guess what? On Monday (January 6), TMZ confirmed that they were engaged, leaving us all in total euphoria.
That’s right, Pop Tellers, Hollywood’s fave couple are getting married! And you can lean on us as we spill all the tea on the romantic engagement — including the days leading up to it, how Tom’s adorable proposal went down, that beautiful ring, and their plans for the future.
All the Details on Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Engagement
Zendaya’s Ring Sparked Engagement Rumors at the Golden Globes
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, Zendaya was clearly in the mood for some subtle flexing, as she was seen wearing a dazzling diamond on her finger.
Showing up at the Golden Globes looking absolutely stunning, Zendaya made sure the world noticed as she casually flashed her ring, while working the red carpet.
And wait, there’s more — our girl was all about the hand gestures during a screening of Challengers in L.A. yesterday (January 7), making sure we all caught a glimpse of her latest bling. (We see you, Z.)
Tom Holland Proposed With a Ring Worth Over $2k
No surprise why Zendaya was flaunting her ring everywhere! According to People, the ring is a Jessica McCormack masterpiece (a London jeweler) — featuring a massive 5.02ct diamond, set in white and yellow gold, and worth over $200,000. (Translation: it’s worth more than all the Infinity Stones combined.)
In case you wanted more detail on the stunning ring: The jeweler’s website describes it as being “a button back ring with a 5.02 carat east-west cushion diamond, set in a Georgian style cut-down setting in 18k white gold and yellow gold.”
The Proposal was Very Intimate
TMZ report that the lovebirds got engaged sometime between Christmas and New Year’s at one of Zendaya’s family homes in the U.S., keeping it low-key and super romantic.
According to sources close to the couple, the Spider-Man actor dropped to one knee in a “very intimate setting.” Although he “didn’t make a huge show,” or create a “big, over-the-top proposal,” Tom made sure his proposal to Zendaya was “very romantic and intimate.”
Their families weren’t present, making the moment extra special and personal.

Tom and Zendaya got Matching Tattoos Days Before Engagement
Besides their iconic red carpet matchy-matchy moments, Tom and Zendaya now have matching tattoos, too! According to TMZ, the couple got inked back in November at the Boston Tattoo Company in Massachusetts, going for something super minimalistic: their initials.
While Tom is said to have got a “Z” on his ribcage, fans caught a glimpse of Zendaya’s tattoo at the Golden Globes — a tiny ‘t’ below her armpit.
No Wedding Plans Yet…But Tom is Already Talking Babies
Although our Spider-Man and MJ haven’t started planning their wedding yet (because, duh, they’re mega-superstars booked and busy with a packed 2025 schedule — think series, movies, and award campaigns), they’ve definitely dropped hints about thinking long-term.
In an interview with Men’s Health, Tom opened up about having kids in the future:
“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore. Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”
(Like a Thanos snap? Chill, Tom, no need to go that hard!)
But while Zendaya and Tom are all about keeping things private, the internet? Not so much.
People lost it over the news, flooding timelines with adorable (and hilarious) moments of the couple. Case in point: that iconic video of Tom Holland performing Umbrella (yes, that one) in front of Zendaya racked up nearly half a million likes.
While we wait for the wedding, one thing’s for sure: Tomdaya were clearly meant to be together in every universe of the multiverse. Congrats, guys!
