2025 Golden Globes: Zendaya’s Latest Tattoo May Be a Tribute to Tom Holland
With great romance, comes great love stories.
Just ask Spider-Man costarsZendayaand Tom Holland, who are reportedly engaged, with TMZ citing multiple sources close to the couple confirming they pair are set to tie the knot. The news comes after the Challengers actress attended the 2025 Golden Globes Jan. 5 sporting a huge diamond ring on her that finger.
Zendaya and Tom’s engagement comes nearly five years after the couple went public with their relationship in 2021, though they’ve been close ever since the audition process for the Spider-Man franchise, which debuted its first installment in 2017.
“That’s how we met,” Zendaya, 28, told Vanity Fair last year. “Literally, at a chemistry read.”
Their bond been euphoric ever since. And while they tried to keep their romance private, they did share peeks into their relationship with fans. Take, for instance, in 2021 when Tom hard-launched their relationship in honor of Zendaya’s 25th birthday.
“My MJ,” Tom wrote in an Instagram post at the time alongside a cozy mirror selfie of himself and Zendaya in costume. “Gimme a call when you're up xxx.”
Later, Zendaya commented along with a red heart emoji, “Calling now.”
And since acting was so integral to their meet-cute, working together is now “second nature” to the couple, according to the Disney alum.
“You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside,” she added to Vanity Fair. “I love working with him.”

For Tom, bringing work home has never been more exciting.
“It’s a saving grace," the 28-year-old gushed on a December episode of The Dish podcast. “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.’”
As for why Tom opted not to walk the red carpet at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes alongside the Dune actress for her big ring reveal? He’s previously explained that he tries to avoid joint appearances at events for Zendaya.
“Because it’s not my moment,” Tom explained in an interview with Men’s Healthpublished earlier this month. “It’s her moment, and if we go together, it’ll be all about us.”
Now that Tom has upgraded to friendly neighborhood fiancé, read on for a look back at their relationship. You may just get caught in their marvelous web…
