Zendaya, the talented American actor and singer, has been making waves recently with engagement rumours about her and Tom Holland swirling after the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet. Fans couldn’t help but notice the stunning ring on her left hand, rumoured to be worth over $200,000. TMZ confirmed their engagement, and the ring could be from Tom Holland.
Since 2016, whispers about Zendaya and Tom Holland dating have persisted since they met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming. The two have never openly discussed their relationship, but pictures of them kissing made it clear that they are more than just friends. Before their relationship was officially acknowledged, plenty of rumours and discussions surrounded them. Let’s explore some of the controversies and rumours that have surfaced about their relationship.
1. Zendaya’s relationship with another Co-star
In 2019 and 2020, rumours circulated that Zendaya and her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi were dating, starting when they were spotted together on vacation in Greece. Although they never confirmed it, paparazzi captured Jacob giving Zendaya a kiss in New York City in February 2020. Jacob was linked to Kaia Gerber by September, while Tom Holland publicly shared his relationship with Nadia Parks on Instagram on July 27, 2020.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Parks relocated to live with Holland after the lockdown was implemented in London. “They decided to isolate together, and things have been going great between them,” a source said. “Tom has told friends and family they’re in an official relationship, and living together so soon into their romance has only made them stronger.”
2. Viral PDA Moment
In late 2021, Zendaya and Tom Holland were spotted sharing a kiss in his car at a red light in Los Angeles, sparking rumours about their relationship.

3. Breakup Rumours
Over the years, there have been many rumours about celebrities breaking up, often started by what people say on social media. In 2023, the couple were spotted spending time apart because they were both very busy with work. This led to gossip magazines suggesting their relationship might be in trouble, but neither confirmed these stories.
4. Scrutiny about their appearance
At the beginning of their relationship, Zendaya and Tom received unwanted remarks about their height difference, as Zendaya is slightly taller than Tom. They handled the situation calmly, speaking out against old-fashioned stereotypes regarding height.
5. Jealousy Factor!
There are occasional controversies about jealousy in Tom and Zendaya’s relationship, with some saying Tom is uncomfortable with Zendaya’s friendships with actors like Timothée Chalamet. However, neither of them have confirmed these claims.
