AceShowbiz - Tom Holland's father, Dominic, has finally confirmed the swirling rumors: Tom and Zendaya Coleman are officially engaged! The speculation started when Zendaya debuted a stunning 5-carat diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, leaving fans in a frenzy.
A few days after the event, Dominic Holland shared details about the proposal in his latest Patreon blog post titled "That engagement." He juxtaposed his own engagement to Tom's mother, Nikki, with Tom's meticulously planned proposal.
"Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared. He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter," Dominic revealed, praising his son's thoroughness.
The couple, both 28, has kept their relationship relatively private since they started dating in July 2021. They first met on the set of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in 2016, and their on-screen chemistry quickly sparked off-screen romance rumors. Insiders revealed that Tom popped the question between Christmas and New Year's in a "very intimate setting" at one of Zendaya's homes.
Although Dominic's confirmation provided clarity, Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, gave conflicting statements. He reportedly told the Daily Mail that any mention of Tom asking for his blessing was "a bunch of crap dealt out by TMZ."
Despite these remarks, sources close to the couple affirmed that Tom had met with Zendaya's father months ago to gain his permission.
The engagement news has been met with excitement from both families. Zendaya's family reportedly thinks very highly of Tom, considering him a "class act." The engagement ring, a Jessica McCormack design featuring a 5.02-carat cushion-cut center stone, is yet another testament to Tom's impeccable planning.
This next step in their relationship brings both joy and scrutiny. As Dominic noted, "I do fret that their combined stardom will amplify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb." He remains confident that their strong bond and understanding of showbiz challenges will help them navigate the pressures of fame together.
While the details of their relationship have often been shielded from the public eye, their love and mutual respect shine through. As Zendaya shared in an interview with Vanity Fair, "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."
As for Tom, he expressed similar sentiments, stating on the Smartless podcast, "I'm lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life... You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff - nd that's worth its weight in gold."
As their love story unfolds, fans eagerly await the next chapter of this beloved Hollywood couple's fairytale romance.
