The gorgeous two-toned stone confirmed what fans had anticipated for yearsthat Tom Holland had finally popped the question.
The actors started a beautiful, private friendship after meeting at a chemistry read in 2016.

In late 2024, they took the next big step, as Holland proposed during their end-of-year vacation.
Heres a peek into the timeline of how their love story unfolded.
As sources atTMZfound out, the Spider-Man star proposed between Christmas and New Years at Zendayas family home.
On January 6, Zendaya debuted the gorgeous stone on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

In July 2016, Holland shared a photo of Zendaya and himself enjoying a summer pool daywith another friend.
Shes so great and amazing.
Holland, who was still adjusting to fame then, was in awe of Zendayas experience navigating the spotlight.
I just call her up and say, How do I manage being famous?
Im very glad I have a friend like her, he toldPeople.
Zendaya, too, discussed their friendship openly during its early days.
She toldVarietyin August 2017, Hes a great guy.
Hes truly one of my closest friends.
This past how many months weve had to do press tours together.
Theres very few people that will understand what thats like at 20 years old.
They even stopped by the Spiderman statue atGolden Apple Comicsto take goofy pictures with web-shooting poses.
Im not the fleeting jot down at all; its not my way of life, he added.
He captioned the sweet shot, My MJ, Ihave the happiest of birthdays.
Gimme a call when your up xxx.
Later in February,Page Sixspies captured Hollands intimate dinner with Zendaya at Antica Pesa in Rome.

The Co-Chair of the Theatre Department, Tavia Percia, shared photos from the visit.
At about the same time, fans pointed out onXthat Toms pants were engraved with a Z.
The actor said, Im lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life.
Its interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone that is in the same boat as you.
Tom Hollands name also came up in an interview about the movie with BuzzfeedCeleb.
But hes great at just talking to people and getting to know people.
You see him on talk shows and stuff like that.
Hes just naturally very good at that.
Whereas for me, Ive definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit.
Hes got that natural gift.
Hes so talented and so passionate about what he does.
He always gives things one thousand percent, even if hes absolutely worn down.
I really appreciate that about him.
Her praise isnt surprising, given the firm friendship the pair built while working together.
It feels pretty normal, Zendaya said when referencing their origins in friendship.
Thats how we met.
Literally, at a chemistry read.
Nonetheless, their presence was felt well enough with Zendayas ring debut at the 2025 Golden Globes.
In August 2023, she also discussed the influence of her growing fame and fans on her relationship withElle.
In her words, Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public.
I cant 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.
Its about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist.
Thats not fun, either.
I am navigating it more than ever now.
Nonetheless, the two have managed to navigate the tricky waters of a publicized relationship rather well.
Holland said Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective ofandwe want to keep as sacred as possible.
According toHuffPost, he also posted the movie trailer on his Instagram stories, tagging her.
In a May 2024Vogueinterview, she said she could not be more proud.
On the closing night, she showed up with a romantic rose bouquet for her beau.
Zendaya also made a big appearance at the launch of Hollands new non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero.
According toElle, the couple matched outfits to celebrate the drink launch inspired by Hollands journey to sobriety.
