Tom Holland left huge hint he was secretly planning to propose to Zendaya weeks before he popped question
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Holland dropped a major clue that he was secretly planning to propose to Zendaya just a few weeks before he allegedly popped the question to the 'Euphoria' actress.
In a December 2024 interview on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett's 'Dish' podcast, the 'Spider Man' actor shared that he was going to spend Christmas with Zendaya's family, per Daily Mail.
The duo sparked engagement rumors after fans spotted a massive diamond ring on Zendaya's finger during the 2025 Golden Globes.

"I'm going to be in America this year, I'm going to be with my girlfriend's family, which will be fun. Where we'll be will be a secret. I'll know where we're going," Tom Holland told Nick Grimshaw.
Moreover, the 'Spider Man' actor hoped that he and Zendaya would begin uniting their families for Christmas. "What we'd like to start doing, is rather than spending it with each family each year, is bring the families together," he shared on the podcast.
"That's what I think we want to do next time. Because we're both actors, we're terrible at organizing things, so it hasn't happened yet. The thoughts there, the idea has been planted," Holland added.
Sources revealed to TMZ that Holland popped the question in a romantic and private setting in one of Zendaya's family homes between Christmas and New Year's. According to the outlet, there was no family around to witness the occasion, which was solely between the two celebrities.
The English actor apparently waited until the appropriate moment to pop the question and had asked Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, for his blessing months before the proposal.

"The proposal was sweet and romantic and happened over the holidays. He did it the old-fashioned way and got permission from her folks. Everyone is thrilled," the insider shared.
"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," they added.
"Zendaya knew what she was doing when she wore that ring, and she did not care. She also knew that this would get out there, but she was ready for it," the insider said, addressing the star's choice to show off her ring during the star-studded award ceremony on Sunday night.
The east-west cushion diamond ring is said to be worth over $200,000.
"She loves Tom and he has been with her through thick and thin. They have a unique private romance and although they may seem very opposite, nothing could be further from the truth," the source noted.
The couple, who apparently started dating in 2021, have largely kept their romance under wraps. They possess a $3.7 million home in the affluent Richmond neighborhood of London.
