When Zendaya showed up on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday, it wasn’t just her gorgeous orange gown and 1950s-style bob that got people talking — they couldn’t help but notice a giant diamond ring on that finger.

“He’s always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one. They have something very special,” the source continued.
The Hollywood power couple first went public with their off-screen romance in 2021 after playing love interests Peter Parker and Michelle “M.J.” Jones in the most recent Spider-Man instalments. Rumours of a romance have followed the pair since 2017, when fans noted they seemed to have great chemistry both on-screen and off.
For years, they both denied the rumours, insisting they were just friends.
Both Holland and Zendaya have spoken about the need for privacy in their relationship and how they work to find a balance between what the world sees and what is just for them, as a couple.
“I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share,” Zendaya told Elle in August 2023. “It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
