Zendaya cheekily responded to a reporter who asked if she was engaged at the 2025 Golden Globes.
Last night (January 5), the Euphoria star arrived at the 82nd annual ceremony with a massive diamond ring on her ring finger, sparking immediate speculation that she and her boyfriend of four years, Tom Holland, had reached a new level in their relationship.
Outside The Beverly Hilton Hotel, Zendaya silently posed for the cameras, flashing a cushion-cut center diamond set on a thin band that didn’t seem to fit with the rest of her jewelry. According to the LA Times, the ring on her left hand wasn’t featured in the press release detailing the diamonds she wore by Bvlgari.
Inside the venue, the Louis Vuitton ambassador was reportedly motioned at by a reporter who pointed at their own engagement ring before asking her: “Are you engaged?”
The actor “smiled coyly and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously,” according to the LA Times.
TMZ sources have since confirmed Holland popped the question between Christmas and New Year’s in an intimate setting at one of Zendaya’s family homes.
Zendaya and Holland met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in which Holland starred as the superhero and Zendaya played his love interest, MJ. The two have notoriously kept the details of their relationship underwraps, though they’ve showed each other love and support on social media over the years.
Fans were sent into a frenzy online when they spotted the ring on Zendaya’s left hand with many frantically questioning whether the star was hard-launching her new relationship status.

Other fans were convinced the jewelry on her left hand was an engagment ring, arguing the design and setting didn’t fit the aesthetic of the rest of her ensemble.
...and it doesn't match the rest of the jewelry she's wearing

The ring on Zendaya’s right hand appeared more glamorous like a statement piece, big and bulky, compared to the modest piece on the opposite hand.
“She’s well aware of the significance of the left ring finger,” another person online commented.
The Challengers star was last photographed out in early December 2024 with a different diamond ring on the middle finger of her left hand.
