Tom Holland ‘Always Knew’ Zendaya Was The One For Him

Amid news of Tom Holland and Zendaya‘s engagement, an insider has revealed that the actor was always certain he would ask her to be his wife.

The “Spider-Man” costars sparked an engagement frenzy after Zendaya flashed a sparkling diamond ring on her left-hand ring finger at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday.

Fans have reacted to the news by expressing their delight for the lovebirds, though they may have to wait a while before they walk down the aisle.

Following the news of Zendaya and Holland’s engagement, a source shared how the “Crowded Room” actor was always keen to take their relationship to the next level.

The insider revealed to People Magazine that Holland had been “wanting to propose” to Zendaya “for a while now” before adding, “He’s always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one. They have something very special.”

According to the source, everyone close to the couple “knew the engagement was happening,” though they didn’t know when it would happen.

The insider further revealed that Holland was eager to share the news about his engagement after proposing to Zendaya over the holidays.

They also shared that the “Uncharted” star told friends about the engagement around New Year’s.

However, although news of Zendaya and Holland’s engagement is creating so much buzz on social media, the insider said the lovebirds are not in a hurry and just want to enjoy their engagement first.

The source explained, “They will just enjoy things for now and won’t rush a wedding. They are both busy with work projects.”

They added that Holland is excited and noted that he’s “always had this sweet way of letting the world know that Zendaya is his. Now, it’s official — she really is!”

After Zendaya and Holland’s engagement was confirmed, TMZ reported that the “Avengers: Endgame” star asked the “Challengers” actress’s father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, for her hand in marriage “months ago.”

Coleman reportedly accepted Holland’s request to marry Zendaya, whose family is excited about the development and considers her beau “a class act.”

Despite Coleman’s approval, Zendaya reportedly took his time proposing because he wanted to do it at the right time.

Sources told TMZ, which first broke the news of the couple’s engagement, that Holland first asked Zendaya to marry him between Christmas and New Year’s.

He reportedly got down on one knee in an intimate setting in one of her family homes in the United States. However, sources revealed that Zendaya’s family wasn’t present at the proposal as “it was just a sweet moment” between her and Holland.

According to the outlet, Holland’s proposal wasn’t elaborate but “very romantic and intimate.”

Zendaya stole the spotlight at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday with her outfit and a shiny detail on her left-hand finger.

The 28-year-old actress wore a custom burnt orange satin Louis Vuitton dress, which she matched with pointed-toe pumps.

She accessorized with a glittering choker necklace and rocked a short, curly, chestnut hairdo. Once again, she was styled by her longtime collaborator and image architect, Law Roach.

While Zendaya’s outfit left jaws dropping, her noticeable diamond ring left many talking. According to reports, the ring is a 5.02ct East-West cushion diamond button-back ring by luxury jeweler Jessica McCormack.

Zendaya flashed her dazzling ring with a playful jazz-fingers motion in response to a recently engaged Los Angeles Times reporter, who playfully held up her ring finger and pointed at it.

When asked if she was engaged, the “Dune” actress continued flaunting her ring, smiled coyly, and shrugged her shoulders but didn’t respond. Her actions led to speculations on social media that Holland had popped the question.

Many fans trooped to social media to congratulate Zendaya and Tom Holland on their engagement.

One fan on X wrote, “Zendaya being in a relationship as loving as the one with Tom and now they’re engaged. Guys I’m actually crying.”

A second person shared, “TOM AND ZENDAYA OFFICIALLY ENGAGED MY HEART.”

Meanwhile, a third fan expressed, “Tom and Zendaya are made for each other. So happy for them with their engagement and wishing them a lifetime of happiness.”
