The Golden Globes are a night to celebrate stars in the film and television industry. While the ceremony recognizes talent and hard work, the fashion choices on the red carpet hardly go unnoticed. Spectacular gowns, sharp suits and even some controversial looks made the night memorable. However, it was multi-talented actress Zendaya who held a significant amount of spotlight during this year’s event.
Wearing a burnt-orange custom made Louis Vuitton ball gown, the actress caught the camera’s eye. While it was a stunning dress, it was not only her attire everyone was looking at. On her left hand was a large, sparkling ring that quickly became the media’s topic of conversation.
So, does this mean after years of dating, Zendaya and her once co-star, now boyfriend Tom Holland, are officially engaged?

The Start
Holland, one of Hollywood’s famous Spider-Men, starred in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” where Zendaya played MJ, Peter Parker’s love interest. It was on set in 2016 that the two officially met.
As they worked together closely and participated in numerous interviews for the movie, there was undeniable chemistry between these two actors. Soon after, fans and media quickly started speculating if the romance seen on screen occurred in real life, too.

Officially Dating
Zendaya and Holland kept their personal lives concealed and adamantly explained that they were only close friends. However, in July 2021, paparazzi caught the couple kissing at a stop light.
The two eventually confirmed their relationship, showing that the undeniable chemistry was real. In the following years, both Zendaya and Holland showed unwavering support for each other. From their matching tattoos with each other’s initials to Tom stepping in to fight off paparazzi for Zendaya, it was clear they were going to be long term.

Engaged At Last
Fast forward to the night of Jan. 5, when Zendaya shocked headlines once again during the 82nd Golden Globes. As she walked the red carpet, eyes were drawn to the massive ring on her left hand. Though Zendaya would not comment on her new piece of jewelry during the event, fans could not help but wonder what this meant.
Rumors were soon put to rest when sources close to the couple confirmed the news that Zendaya and Holland were officially engaged! According to TMZ, the proposal took place between Christmas and New Year’s in a private, intimate location.
While there are no current wedding plans yet, VALLEY is ecstatic about this new development in the couple’s relationship.
Who’s Next?
With Zendaya and Tom’s engagement now confirmed, the entertainment industry is left wondering who could be Hollywood’s next big engaged couple?
