Zendaya turned heads at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards when she rocked a sparkling ring on that finger.
The Challengers actress, 28, walked the red carpet solo on Sunday, January 5, while wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown and Bulgari jewelry. On her left hand, Zendaya sported a diamond ring — sparking rumors she’s engaged to boyfriend Tom Holland. While inside the ceremony, Zendaya changed into a white dress and posed for a photo with Ayo Edebiri — and was still sporting the diamond ring but not the Bulgari necklace. Us Weekly reached out to her rep for comment.
Zendaya was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her role as Tashi Duncan in Challengers. She lost the award to Demi Moore, who starred in The Substance. (Nightbitch’s Amy Adams, Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Emilia Pérez’s Karla Sofía Gascón and Anora’s Mikey Madison were also competing in that category.)
Zendaya and Holland, 28, met while working on Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, taking their romance public five years later when they were spotted packing on the PDA in his car. After their relationship was confirmed, a source exclusively told Us that Zendaya and Holland’s friendship played a pivotal role in taking their connection a step further.
“Zendaya and Tom started off as really great friends and stayed that way for a long while before things turned romantic,” the insider shared, adding they “work really well together because he makes her laugh and she really helps guide him through the world of celebrity.”
They have since shared sweet glimpses of their relationship through the years. After being asked in February 2024 who from the Dune cast had the best “rizz,” Zendaya gave a sweet shout-out to Holland.

“I don’t know. Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody’s kind of got their own,” Zendaya told Buzzfeed. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but personally works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland.”
While reflecting on their romance, Zendaya pointed out that she and Holland have different personalities — which has benefited their relationship.

“I’m more shy and kind of quiet,” she explained. “So it takes a bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people, getting to know people. He’s just naturally very good at that. I’ve definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He’s got that natural gift.”
Ahead of the holidays, Holland revealed on “The Dish” podcast that he was excited to spend time with “my girlfriend’s family.”
“I think what we’d like to start doing, rather than spending it with each family each year, is bring the families together,” Holland said. “That’s what I think we want to do next time, ’cause we’re both actors, we’re both terrible at organizing things, so it hasn’t happened yet.”
When they’re not together, Holland noted that he’s supporting Zendaya from afar. During an interview with Men’s Health earlier this month, Holland explained that he doesn’t typically walk a red carpet with Zendaya “because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”
