Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Relationship Timeline

Tom Holland and Zendaya‘s relationship may have started with an on-screen romance, but the couple is getting ready to walk down the aisle in real life.

TMZ was the first to report that Holland and Zendaya are engaged after the Challengers star appeared on the red carpet at the 2025 Golden Globes wearing what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand.

When their romance first began, the costars entangled themselves in a web of rumors for years after being cast alongside each other in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016. However, it wasn’t until five years later that the couple confirmed their relationship.

During the interim period, Holland and Zendaya stressed in various interviews and social media posts that they were just really good friends — but although their relationship was supposedly platonic, their chemistry was undeniable.

Fast forward to 2019, the film franchise’s fans were sent into a frenzy following the first on-screen kiss shared between Holland’s Spider-Man and Zendaya’s MJ in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Just a few months later, that shared moment transformed into something more than just acting — when they were spotted kissing in their car in July 2021, confirming the pair’s real-life love story.

Since then, Holland and Zendaya have strived to keep a low-profile relationship and avoid excessive PDA. This doesn’t mean that the two don’t show their love for each other in other ways, though, as they never fail to support each other on social media and at public events.
