Tom Holland confirmed his engagement to Zendaya in the sweetest way possible. <\/p>\n
The British actor, 29, recently clarified that his \u201cSpider-Man\u201d co-star, 29, is now his \u201cfianc\u00e9e\u201d and no longer his \u201cgirlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a clip<\/a> from a panel, a reporter told Holland of a recent event, \u201cI brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend. So, I was father of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n Holland laughed and then replied, \u201cFianc\u00e9e.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans on social media praised Holland for his loving remark about Zendaya.<\/p>\n \u201cThe upgrade from girlfriend \u2192 fianc\u00e9e\u2026 love levels unlocked,\u201d one fan wrote<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n \u201cI love how proud he is to call her his fianc\u00e9e. That\u2019s real love right there,\u201d another fan said.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI love their relationship,\u201d a third person added.<\/p>\n Someone else tweeted, \u201cZendaya is so damn lucky. She won.\u201d<\/p>\n The couple\u2019s engagement news<\/a> broke in January, with Holland\u2019s father, Dominic Holland, revealing that the proposal happened during the 2024 holiday season.<\/p>\n \u201cTom, as you know by now, was very incredibly well prepared,\u201d Dominic wrote in\u00a0a Patreon post in Jan<\/a>. \u201cHe had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter. Tom had everything planned out\u2026 When, where, how, what to say, what to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n After the proposal, Zendaya showed off her engagement ring<\/a> for the first time at the 2025 Golden Globes<\/a>\u00a0red carpet<\/a> in Jan., sporting a massive five-carat diamond on her finger.<\/p>\n Holland and Zendaya sparked dating rumors in 2017 after they landed starring roles in \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming.\u201d<\/p>\n They kept their romance under wraps for years, until they were spotted\u00a0kissing inside a car<\/a>\u00a0in Los Angeles in July 2021.<\/p>\n In Sept. 2023, Zendaya denied she was engaged to Holland after she posted an Instagram Story in which a ring was prominently featured.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t post anything, you guys,\u201d she said in a\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0that she later deleted. \u201cI posted it for my hat. Like not for the ring on my right hand, you guys, seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou think that\u2019s how I would drop the news? You think, like, what!\u201d she added while laughing.<\/p>\n The stars have\u00a0done their best to keep their romance private<\/a> over the years, with Holland explaining earlier this year why he doesn\u2019t walk red carpets<\/a> with his future wife.<\/p>\n
