Zendaya Sparks Tom Holland Engagement Rumors by Wearing Massive Ring
Zendaya sparked rumors that she’s engaged to longtime boyfriend Tom Holland by wearing a massive diamond ring at the Golden Globes.
Before the awards show kicked off on Sunday, January 5, Zendaya, 28, stunned as she posed for photos on the red carpet while wearing a custom burnt orange satin dress from Louis Vuitton. However, the most notable part of her outfit was the diamond ring she wore on her left-hand ring finger.
The ring appeared to be a 5.02ct East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring from the jewelry brand Jessica McCormack, which was first reported by gossip account Duexmoi.
Zendaya – who was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy for her role in Challengers – had fans wondering if the ring was from a potential engagement with Tom, 28, and many people rushed to social media to speculate about the meaning behind the accessory.
“ARE ZENDAYA AND TOM HOLLAND ENGAGED!?!? SHE IS SHOWING OFF A RING!!!” one person wrote alongside a clip of her showing the ring off, which was shared via X. Another social media user chimed in, “Streets are saying zendaya is engaged and suddenly life is worth living.”
However, others noted that it seemed out of character for Zendaya to confirm her engagement at an awards show because she and Tom have chosen to keep their relationship private. “I don’t think Zendaya would intentionally hint that she’s engaged at an award show where the focus wouldn’t be on her nomination anymore but on her relationship which is what Tom was talking about in that interview,” a third person chimed in.
While fans were eager to assume that Tom and Zendaya are planning to walk down the aisle, neither star has publicly responded to the engagement rumors.
The couple became close friends in 2016 while working together on the movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. They were romantically linked throughout the years and insisted they were just friends, though they seemingly confirmed the rumors when they were spotted kissing in his car in July 2021.
The latest set of engagement rumors began to circulate just months after an insider shared a rare update about Tom and Zendaya’s relationship while exclusively speaking to Life & Style in September 2024.
“Tom and Zendaya are in a very positive place and they’ve been exclusive now for more than five years,” the source said at the time. “They are part of each other’s families at this point and marriage has been part of the conversation for a while.”
After noting that they had “some time off before the next Spider-Man gears up,” the insider said that Tom’s “never going to have a clearer path to formally propose and much more importantly, to plan for his and Zendaya’s wedding.”
“The real issue they have to figure out is what country to have the wedding – the US, England or some kind of neutral territory,” the source continued. “And as with everything they do as a couple, they are very focused on keeping things classy, inclusive and fashion-forward.”
The insider also pointed out, “Tom’s immature partying days are long behind him and he has spent years proving to Zendaya that he can be a really great partner and potentially an excellent father too.”
“Their wedding will launch them into the next phase of their lives in high style,” the source said.
