Zendaya, 28, debuted her tiny “t” tattoo under her arm at the 2025 Golden Globes, while Holland, also 28, reportedly has a small “z” inked on his ribcage. Fans quickly spotted Zendaya’s tattoo, sparking speculation about the significance of the designs.

The pair reportedly received a discount at the tattoo parlor, paying $100 each instead of the usual $150 minimum. Staff at the shop described them as down-to-earth and noted the undeniable chemistry between the couple.

According to TMZ, Holland popped the question to Zendaya over the holidays at one of her family’s homes.

An insider close to the couple shared that the engagement had been anticipated for some time. "Everyone close to them knew an engagement was happening just not when," the source revealed. "Tom has always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one. They have something very special."

Although the couple is overjoyed about their engagement, they’re in no hurry to walk down the aisle.

"Tom's always had this sweet way of letting the world know that Zendaya is his. Now, it's official, she really is!" the source explained. "They will just enjoy things for now and won't rush a wedding."
