Who is her boyfriend Tom Holland?

Tom Holland is an English actor who is from Kingston Upon Thames. Before being cast as Peter Parker in the Marvel reboot of the Spider-Man franchise in 2016, the 26-year-old was best known for his role in movie The Impossible (2012) and for playing the role of Billy Elliot in Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre.

How long have they been together?

The couple have reportedly been together since July 2021, with photos of them kissing in their car whilst at a red light in Los Angeles were shared by the press. In an interview with GQ in November 2021 Holland discussed the incident. He said: “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.” He added: “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

Are they engaged?

Rumours that the pair are engaged have been gaining traction again after Zendaya posted an image to her Instagram stories wearing a ring. However, on closer inspection it does appear that the ring is on her right hand, not her left.

In December 2022, news that the couple were engaged went viral. This prompted Zendaya’s mum, Claire Stoermer to share the description of “Clickbait” on her Instagram stories. The quote taken from marketing software site CoSchedule said: “Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content. It often relies on exaggerating claims or leaving out key information in order to encourage traffic. The term is generally used in a dismissive sense.”

Neither Zendaya or Holland have officially confirmed if they are engaged.
