Awards season has begun and Hollywood’s brightest stars brought their A-game to the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, which aired Sunday on the 2025 TV schedule and was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. Zendaya, who truly stole the spotlight, stunned in a custom burnt orange Louis Vuitton gown styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach. Paired with matching pointed-toe pumps and a platinum Bvlgari choker necklace featuring over 48 carats of diamonds, her look was nothing short of breathtaking. But while her bold fashion moment made headlines, a sparkling accessory on her left hand truly stole the show.
The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress, nominated for Challengers, accessorized with Bvlgari High Jewelry, including a paraiba tourmaline ring and diamond stud earrings. But according to the Los Angeles Times reports, the piece that drew the most attention wasn’t part of the brand’s collection. Eagle-eyed observers noticed a second ring on Zendaya’s left ring finger—a diamond that appeared to be a 5.02ct East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring by London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack. Notably, this design is featured prominently in the engagement ring section on McCormack’s website, leading to speculation that the Greatest Showman performer and her long-time partner Tom Holland may have quietly advanced their relationship. And a report by TMZ claims that they did in fact get engaged, with Holland recently proposing.
A rep for the former Disney Channel star was unavailable for comment, but an anonymous insider reportedly confirmed the rumored engagement to TMZ. The intrigue around her relationship status during the Globes only grew after a lighthearted moment during the evening. According to The Los Angeles Times, as the Shake It Up alum exited the ballroom, a recently engaged reporter flashed her own ring for the actress to see. In response, Zendaya playfully showed off her own left hand—complete with that sparkling diamond—while giving a cheeky jazz-fingers motion. When asked point-blank if she was engaged, the Malcolm & Marie star simply smiled slyly, shrugged, and left everyone to piece together the puzzle on their own.
And there you have it—a moment that felt almost like a wink and a nod, but still left plenty of room for speculation. And if the report about the couple is to be believed, Zendaya and Tom Holland are indeed engaged to be married. And one can only imagine how many stories and rumors about their upcoming nuptials are going to follow as a result.
How Tom Holland reportedly proposed.
So how exactly did the two A-listers end up getting engaged? According to the anonymous insider, it happened over the holidays. Rather than a big flashy event, Holland reportedly proposed to Zendaya in one of her family homes. They claim that her relatives weren't there, and it was instead an intimate moment between the two actors. And considering how massive the Euphoria actress' rock is, it seems like he spent a great deal of money to make it as magical as possible. But those hoping for details about their wedding might have to be patient, as they're reportedly not rushing things.
The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in 2021 after years of working together on the first two entries in the Spider-Man Home Trilogy, have kept their relationship largely private. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Holland explained why they rarely appear on the red carpet together. He told the outlet:
Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.
It’s clear the couple values their privacy, but that just makes moments like this all the more tantalizing for fans eager for a glimpse into their life together. Holland was notably absent from this year’s Golden Globes, leaving fans wondering whether the ring was Zendaya’s way of subtly sharing some big news. But now it seems the news is out: MJ and Peter Parker are going to be heading down the aisle
Adding to the media attention, the couple is rumored to co-star in Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, slated for a 2026 release. The film is said to feature a star-studded cast, including Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon.
Fans debated if the diamond ring is an engagement announcement or simply another impeccable fashion choice, and the trendsetter has once again proven she knows how to keep everyone talking. And while we finally got our confirmation, one thing is clear: Zendaya remains one of Hollywood’s most captivating stars, both on-screen and on the red carpet.
