In the beginning of January, the talented actress, Zendaya, rocked the Golden Globes red carpet with a diamond ring as part of her outfit. Or was it? This small piece of jewelry snowballed into countless engagement rumors about her and her boyfriend, Tom Holland. But what’s built up to this jaw-dropping hard launch? What is the future of this beloved couple?
Power couple Tom Holland and Zendaya first sparked dating rumors when they became co-stars in Spiderman: Homecoming in 2016. For 5 years it failed to go unnoticed as the couple cozied up and joked during press tour interviews and various hangouts, relaying some serious chemistry, yet they denied any dating allegations thrown at them. However, after plenty of online speculation, they were confirmed dating in 2021, fulfilling the biggest wish of online fans.
Though the majority of their relationship is private, there have been times that the couple has shown their public support for each other during interviews, movie premieres, or even birthday shout-outs on social media. “Tomdaya” fans are used to reaching for scraps when it comes to updates on the couple, so this flashy entrance at the Golden Globes initiated a new wave of fanfare for the young couple.
According to The Cut and a podcast interview done with Holland’s father, Dominic Holland, Tom had everything planned out and was more than prepared. Tom had bought a ring and asked for Mr. Coleman’s (Zendaya’s father) blessing beforehand while also planning the destination, the outfits, and the logistics of the entire scene.
With the two preaching privacy, as previously mentioned, there are few details on the engagement itself. However, Holland is said to have proposed in the break between Christmas and New Years at an intimate and meaningful spot to the couple. Sources say the couple values family and Holland’s proposal followed suit by having all of Zendaya’s and his loved ones nearby.
Insiders from International the News claim Zendaya has dreamed of being a “summer bride” and cannot wait to plan the future with Tom. While the couple is in no rush to leave the sparkling engagement phase, there are talks about them deciding on a “destination wedding in Italy.” Others say Tom shared his dream of sharing vows while the sun is setting to further push the romantic feeling.
While all of this is mere insider talk or speculation, there is no doubt that the favored couple, Tom Holland and Zendaya, have big plans for the future, starting by getting engaged. There are no confirmations or statements from the couple regarding the supposed engagement yet and judging by the behavior of the couple in the past, it is safe to say we probably won’t get any soon. Nevertheless, we can celebrate and cheer on this happy couple while they enjoy the next stages of settling down together.
