LOS ANGELES – Spider-Man co-stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are engaged, American media reported on Jan 6, the day after she was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring.
The internet caught fire when the American actress, 28, appeared on the Golden Globes red carpet on Jan 5 with an enormous rock on her left ring finger, with social media users speculating Holland, also 28, had popped the question.
Specialist outlet TMZ reported on Jan 6 that the two, who have been dating since 2021, took their relationship to the next level during a cosy Christmas together.
The British actor went down on one knee “in a very intimate setting in one of Zendaya’s family homes in the United States”, TMZ said.
“We’re told Tom didn’t make a huge show of the engagement. It wasn’t a big, over-the-top proposal. Instead, it was very romantic and intimate.
“Our sources say the family wasn’t there... it was just a sweet moment between Tom and Zendaya.”
The couple met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and reprised their roles as love interests Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ in the superhero movie franchise’s sequels Far From Home (2019) and No Way Home (2021). They are one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, despite fiercely guarding their privacy.
