Tom Holland's Dad Shares Insight Into Zendaya Engagement

Tom Holland became the greatest showman for his proposal to Zendaya.

In the afterglow of 2025, just a few days following the Golden Globes, I found myself in awe as the Spider-Man actress flashed a stunning 5-carat ring on her finger. It wasn’t long before Tom Holland’s father, Dominic Holland, confirmed the heartening news that his son had proposed to his now-fiancée, remarking that the actor was “extraordinarily well prepared” for this special moment.

Dominic mentioned in his January 10th Patreon post that he had bought a ring. He had discussed matters with his intended’s father and received approval for a proposal. Tom was meticulously planning every aspect of it… the when, where, how, what to say, and what to wear.

The low-profile nature of the couple’s engagement becomes apparent following the January 5 awards event, where the actress from “The Greatest Showman” attracted attention due to her noticeable ring.

Beyond social media buzz, curiosity about their relationship status intensified even further following the observation made by the Los Angeles Times in an article published on Jan 5th. The journalist was seen flaunting her left ring finger, to which Zendaya playfully displayed a similar piece of jewelry.

Moreover, when directly questioned about her engagement, the 28-year-old Zendaya merely shrugged and offered a subtle smile in response.

There’s nothing unusual about the fact that the specifics of how the couple got engaged are not widely known, since they’ve made efforts to maintain privacy in their relationship and romantic life.

In a recent revelation, I find myself in Zendaya’s shoes as she reminisces about meeting her future spouse on the set of Spider-Man. What struck me was her description of acting together as feeling “strangely comfortable,” a sensation I can only imagine growing stronger over time.

In my world, it’s become as instinctive as breathing, almost. There’s an unspoken sense of security when I’m sharing the screen with this individual. Working alongside him is a delight that never fades.

Zendaya went on to note just what it is about Tom, also 28, that she loves the most.

She went on to say, ‘He’s incredibly gifted and deeply committed to his work.’ He consistently puts in a hundred percent of effort, sometimes when he’s at the end of his energy. What I admire most is his dedication.’

And the feeling is mutual.

Tom shared, during a Smartless podcast episode in July 2024, that he feels fortunate to have Zendaya in his life. He mentioned that it’s intriguing to be in a romantic relationship with someone who shares the same journey as him.

According to the actor from “The Crowded Room,” exchanging your personal experiences is as valuable as its equivalent in gold.

However, it’s worth noting that just as they were about to advance their relationship, the former Cherry star divulged some insights into his upcoming plans.

In a conversation with Men’s Health on January 2, he mentioned that when he becomes a father, you probably won’t see him in movies anymore. He expressed that his priorities would shift to golf and fatherhood, and as a result, he might become less visible or even seem to vanish altogether from public life.

Tom additionally shared insights on the reasons behind his and Zendaya’s occasional absence from joint appearances at significant functions, such as this year’s Golden Globes.

Tom explained to the media outlet, “It’s not the right time for me,” he said. “This is her special moment, and if we were to attend together, it would shift the focus from her to us.

Tom expressed his gratitude for having someone like Zendaya in his life to Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett during their Smartless podcast episode in July 2024. He found it fascinating to be in a romantic relationship with someone who shares similar experiences as him.

In the words of the star from “The Crowded Room”, “You can exchange your experiences and such things – it’s priceless.

In a recent interview with Men’s Health, published on January 2, he expressed that once he becomes a father, you won’t find him in movies anymore. He foresees his life revolving around golf, fatherhood, and essentially fading from public view.

Additionally, Tom shared insights on the reasons behind their frequent absence from joint appearances at significant functions like this year’s Golden Globes, where they usually choose not to attend together.

Tom Holland and Zendaya had a chuckle during the Marvel gathering at the Comic-Con International 2016 in San Diego, California, prior to the premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The Spider-Man: Homecoming stars spoke onstage at the award show in Los Angeles.

Tom and Zendaya attended a photo call for Spider-Man: Homecoming in Madrid.

The pair made an appearance at the post-premiere bash for Spider-Man: Far From Home, held in Hollywood, California.

Months after their romance was confirmed, Tom gushed over his onscreen and offscreen girlfriend.

He wrote, “Happy birthday to my MJ! I hope you’re doing well, Zendaya. Give me a call once you wake up, love.

The two attended a photo call for Spider-Man: No Way Home at The Old Sessions House in London.

Tom and Zendaya engaged in a conversation at the Town Hall event hosted by SiriusXM Radio, featuring the cast of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which took place in New York City.

At the LA premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, there I was, absolutely thrilled to my core, capturing every moment as my idol, resplendent in a Valentino gown, and the dashing Tom, tailored to perfection in Prada, struck poses for the cameras.

After their third Spider-Man film hit theaters, Zendaya heaped praise over her leading man.

Look at my Spiderman, I’m just beaming with pride! Some things remain constant, and that’s a good thing, @tomholland2013.” (This maintains the original sentiment while being more conversational and easy to read.)

The pair donned their finest attire, ready to make an impression, while they celebrated a slightly late Valentine’s Day evening in the city that never sleeps, New York City, on February 16th.

Zendaya shared this sweet shot of her boyfriend enjoying the water in honor of his birthday.

On his 27th birthday, Tom revealed this stunning image he received as a gift, humorously commenting on Instagram, “Here’s a present from me to you. I believe I’ve found one of the most attractive photos ever taken of myself!” Zendaya certainly appreciated it, responding with an affectionate heart-eye emoji.

Before the premiere of her film “Challengers,” Zendaya drew inspiration from Tashi Duncan within herself, as she played tennis with Tom and her trusted assistant Darnell Appling during the Men’s Final of the BNP Paribas Open held in Indian Wells, California.

The two enjoyed a night out in London.

After the premiere of Tom’s play “Romeo and Juliet” in London, it was noticed that Zendaya was standing by him, and they were even spotted holding hands after the performance.

When Tom launched his new business for non-alcoholic beers, called Bero, Zendaya was there beside him, both sporting a harmonious burgundy style.

During their trip to Newbury, Massachusetts, where Zendaya was shooting her movie called “The Drama“, the pair unexpectedly stopped for a beer at Bero while they were there.

Tom shared on Instagram that he’s off to a bar to try his first Bero out there for the first time, with his girlfriend grinning in the photo. He promised to keep everyone updated about the experience.
