Zendaya and Tom Holland engaged, sources confirm, 9 years after they met on Spider-Man set

Nearly nine years after meeting on set of the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming, co-stars Zendaya Coleman and Tom Holland are engaged, according to several reports in US media.

Despite the 28-year-old Dune: Part Two star’s solo appearance on the Golden Globes red carpet on January 5, eagle-eyed onlookers spotted a ring on Zendaya’s left hand that fuelled engagement speculation, especially since it did not appear to be from Bulgari, the jeweller who supplied her Golden Globes bling.

Well, it appears the supplier of the ring in question was indeed long-time beau Holland, also 28. A source close to the famously private couple confirmed to celebrity news site TMZ that the couple got engaged over the holidays. The insider says the proposal was intimate, true to the couple’s low-key romance.

A family source confirmed the news to People magazine, who also provided some details on Zendaya’s ring. The diamond solitaire ring appears to be an “east-west cushion” cut diamond weighing just over five carats and set in 18K yellow gold by UK jeweller Jessica McCormack.

Some clips on social media taken during the Golden Globes ceremony appeared to depict Zendaya showing off the new diamond stunner to film executive Amy Pascal, further convincing fans that Holland had popped the question.
