Tom Holland‘s dad has officially confirmed that his son is engaged to longtime girlfriend Zendaya, days after the Euphoria star turned heads for her huge ring at the 2025 Golden Globes.

ICYMI, Dominic Holland confirmed that his son did pop the question to his now-fiancée, noting that the Spider-Man actor was “very incredibly well prepared.”

“He had purchased a ring,” Dominic wrote in a Jan. 10 Patreon post. “He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter. Tom had everything planned out… When, where, how, what to say, what to wear…”

If you missed it, Zendaya first sent the internet into a frenzy when she casually showed up at the Golden Globes on January 5 with a giant rock on *that* finger, and TMZ later came through with the news we’ve all been waiting for: Zendaya and Tom Holland got engaged over the holidays.

According to the outlet, Tom popped the question between Christmas and New Year’s in a super intimate moment at one of Zendaya’s family homes in the uS. Sources said it was just the two of them, making it extra special.

While Tom wasn’t at the event, he has a good reason for skipping red carpets with his fiancée. In a Men’s Health interview from January 2025, he explained: “Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”

While the couple has kept much of their relationship private, they’ve spilled some sweet details here and there.

In a November 2024 Vanity Fair interview, Zendaya raved about working with Tom: “You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him.”

For his part, the British actor also spoke about what it’s been like to act alongside Zendaya while appearing on a December 2024 episode of the “Dish” podcast.

“Studios love it. One hotel room. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?” he joked, before explaining: “Oh God, yeah. It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said. “It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, can’t wait to talk about that later.”
