Zendaya and her boyfriend of seven years, Tom Holland, delighted fans with some happy news — they are engaged.
The chatter about the engagement took a life of its own after Zendaya arrived at the 2025 Golden Globes with a massive ring on that finger.
While Zendaya and Holland have decided to stay mum on the matter, details about the proposal leaked via TMZ.
Sources close to The Crowded Room actor explained that he planned every critical detail months before getting down on one knee and asking Zendaya for her hand in marriage.
It was revealed that Tom Holland popped the question during an intimate dinner. They decided not to invite any family or friends during the special moment.
According to the insider who spoke to TMZ, Tom Holland also contacted Zendaya’s father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, to ask for his blessing to marry his daughter.
Sources close to the newly engaged couple told TMZ: “He met with Zendaya’s father months ago to get his blessing before he got down on one knee. It was an important step for Tom since he’s ‘very traditional’ and wanted to secure Kazembe’s blessing.”
Days after confirming the engagement news, Zendaya’s father threw cold water on the heartwarming revelations.
Coleman spoke to a reporter at The Daily Mail to say Holland never asked him to give his blessings and called other details about the engagement a bunch of crap.
The fed-up father said: “That was a bunch of crap dealt out by TMZ. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
A source revealed to The Daily Mail that Holland proposed the “old-fashioned way, sweet and romantic, a gesture that thrilled some members of Zendaya’s family.”
The insider revealed that Holland and Zendaya are eager to start a family and plan to raise their children without nannies.
The source shared that the couple, with their explicit goals and determination, is ready to start a family.
The insider revealed: “They are the most normal couple at home, and she is ready to spend her life with him. She has gotten everything she dreamed of, and marrying Tom and starting a family is next on her list. Their plan is to have a traditional family without nannies or babysitters for help. They currently do not have a team at home. It is just them, and this is how they prefer it.”
It seems that the full story about the engagement will remain a mystery.
