Tom Holland Swiftly Corrects Reporter Who Called Zendaya His 'Girlfriend'—And Fans Are Obsessed

Some love is quiet and unassuming, known mostly to those in love and few else.

Actors Tom Holland and Zendaya have been largely quiet about their engagement, but when the Spider-Man actor appeared recently at a press event, he was more forthcoming about his relationship status.

During an interview, he made it clear that he is very much taken, and is now awaiting a wedding.

After an off-camera reporter told him, “I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend,” Holland quickly corrected anyone who might be thinking that he hasn't graduated from boyfriend to fiancé.

He laughed and corrected the reporter:

"Fiancée."

Holland and Zendaya got engaged back in January, but this is the first time either of them has publicly acknowledged a truth many people learned earlier, though Zendaya has been flashing an engagement ring all year. Holland reportedly popped the question between Christmas and New Year’s at one of Zendaya’s family homes.

“Tom, as you know by now, was very incredibly well prepared,” his dad said. “He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter. Tom had everything planned out… When, where, how, what to say, what to wear.”

Folks were impressed, because if it was them? They wouldn't keep that information quiet, either.

Some were caught off guard by his answer, having missed the news of their engagement.

Some were so overcome with emotion that they were speechless.

The couple met while working on Marvel's Spider-Man franchise together, and were rumored for most of the 2010s to be dating. However, they only confirmed their relationship status back in 2021. Both are quiet people outside of the press that their acting requires.

People wondered if they would change their names post-marriage.

Truly, people were with Holland making sure that everyone knew that he had leveled up.

Holland and Zendaya will next appear in director Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, which is set to come out in summer 2025.
