After years of keeping their relationship under the radar, Spider-Man costars Zendaya and Tom Holland are engaged. People magazine confirmed that the 28-year-old actors are preparing to tie the knot after Holland reportedly proposed at one of Zendaya’s family homes over the holidays; TMZ was first to report the news about the holiday proposal.
Z sparked rumors of a possible engagement after fans noticed that the Dune: Part Two star appeared to be sporting a large diamond ring on her left ring finger at Sunday night’s (Jan. 5) 2025 Golden Globe Awards. The magazine reported that the ring appeared to be a 5.02-carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring by Jessica McCormack.
For years, the pair who played couple Peter Parker and Michelle “MJ” Jones in the Spider-Man films have played coy with the press about their relationship status, with Zendaya brushing off previous rumors of an engagement in September 2023 after the actress was spotted with a large ring on her finger.
But after they had their first on-screen kiss in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, whispers began to bubble up that they were also romantically involved off-screen. After getting photographed kissing in a car in July 2021, People noted that the couple made it Instagram official later that year via a selfie from Z’s 25th birthday party in which Holland referred to Zendaya as “my MJ” in the caption.
And though they have appeared to keep the fires burning over the past four years, Holland recently revealed to Men’s Health why you are not likely to see them walking the red carpet a big awards shows, like the Globes. “Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us,” he told the magazine about why he tends to skip most non-mandatory public events and attends Zendaya’s premieres, but doesn’t pose for pictures with her.
Though neither Holland nor Zendaya had confirmed the reported engagement at press time — Billboard has reached out to both actors’ reps for comment — at the very least you can expect to see them on-screen together alongside Matt Damon in director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey.
