Tom Holland and Zendaya's love story
The couple’s whirlwind engagement became public knowledge after Zendaya rocked a massive diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globes last month. A source close to the pair told People, "He’s always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one. They have something very special."
Another insider revealed that Holland had been planning the proposal for a long time, and that "everyone close to them knew an engagement was happening" but not when. And in case their commitment to each other wasn’t clear enough, the couple even got matching tattoos.
Zendaya now has a small "T" inked just under her armpit. Holland sports a "Z" tattoo on his rib cage.
Aside from their deep love for each other, Holland and Zendaya have another major shared obsession— the 'Dune' actress' dog Noon. Holland recently launched his non-alcoholic beverage brand "Bero," and he revealed in a promotional video that one of the drinks "Noon Wheat" was named after Zendaya’s beloved pup.
"Named after my beloved dog Noon," the 'Uncharted' actor explained before describing the drink as "really fruity" and "super tasty."
If that isn’t proof that he’s fully part of the family, Zendaya's own confession seals the deal. In a Vanity Fair interview, the 'Euphoria' star jokingly admitted that Noon might be a little too obsessed with Holland. "He loves Tom more than he loves me," she said.
Tom Holland and Zendaya are not in a hurry to tie the knot, but they do have a massive movie coming up
Even though fans are eager for Spider-Man and MJ's real-life wedding, sources say the couple is in no rush to walk down the aisle.
"They will just enjoy things for now and won’t rush a wedding. They are both busy with work projects," a source told People.
The couple is set to star in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, an adaptation of Homer’s 'The Odyssey'. The project already boasts a stacked cast, including Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron.
With Nolan at the helm, this could be the movie event of the decade.
