A separate source told PEOPLE that “everyone close to them knew an engagement was happening” — just not when. The source said Holland had been eager to propose to Zendaya “for a while.”

“He’s always had a crush on her. He’s always known she was the one. They have something very special,” the source said, noting that Holland shared the happy news with friends around New Year’s.

As for the tie, the couple plans to take their time. “They just want to enjoy things for now and don’t want to rush a wedding,” the source added. “They’re both busy with work projects.”

Meanwhile, the couple is enjoying the special moment. “Tom has always had this cute way of telling the world that Zendaya is his. Now it’s official — she really is!” the source told PEOPLE.

The news comes after Zendaya stepped out at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 5, wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger. The ring appears to be one 5.02 carat east-west cushion diamond button back ring from Jessica McCormack, listed in the engagement section of the jewelry brand’s website.

Holland previously teased his “secret” vacation plans with his now-fiance while appearing on the Dec. 18 episode of Dish podcast. “I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we’ll be is a secret,” he said of his plans to spend Christmas in the US

“(Secret) to you guys,” he joked. “I know where we’re going.”

But just a few months after their characters shared their first kiss in 2019 Spider-Man: Far From Homelife imitated art for the couple. Much to the delight of fans, they were spotted kissing in a car in July 2021, confirming their off-screen romance.

In September of the same year, they became Instagram official, with Holland sharing a selfie of the couple in honor of Zendaya’s 25th birthday and lovingly calling for Euphoria star “my MJ” in the caption.

Weeks later, in a November 2021 interview with GQHolland expressed her desire to keep their relationship private. “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy is no longer in our control, and a moment that you think is between two people who love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the whole world,” he told the outlet.

He added that the couple would decide together when the time was right to share details about their relationship.

“This is not my story. This is it our history. And we’ll talk about what that is when we’re ready to talk about it together,” Holland explained.

speaks to The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023, Holland reiterated why the couple prefer to keep their relationship private. “Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and want to keep as sacred as possible,” he explained at the time. “We don’t think we owe it to anybody, it’s our thing and it has nothing to do with our career.”

The following month, he revealed that his relationship with Zendaya is what he holds “most sacred” in life.

“I don’t talk about it. I do my best to keep it as private as possible,” he said while appearing on On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast. “We both feel very strongly that this is the healthiest way to move forward as a couple.”

Zendaya echoed this sentiment in an August 2023 interview with Elleand tells the magazine that her priority is to “protect the peace” in her relationship with Holland amid the relentless public interest and paparazzi presence.

“Parts of my life I accept become public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love,” she said.

“But I’m also in control of what I choose to share,” Zendaya continued. “It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own, but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. It’s not fun either. I’m navigating it more than ever now.”
