<p id=”par-5_61″>Although the <em>Spider-Man</em> star is “very focused on building a family and his career” at the moment, he’s fully prepared for his life to look different when he becomes a parent.

<p id=”par-8_35″>After Zendaya stepped out <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/zendaya-tom-holland-discussed-marriage-wouldnt-reportedly-make-engagement-announcement-right-away.html/”>at the Golden Globes</a> wearing a diamond ring on *that* finger, which quickly ignited engagement rumors online, Holland’s father Dominic shared some details about how the <em>Uncharted </em>star popped the question. </p>
<p id=”par-9_38″>Apparently, it involved a long checklist including getting permission from Zendaya’s dad, getting a ring (a stunning <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/zendaya-jaw-dropping-5-carat-diamond-engagement-ring-everything-need-know.html/”>five-carat diamond ring</a> from UK jewelry designer Jessica McCormack), and knowing exactly what he’d say and wear for the special moment. </p>
<p id=”par-10_51″>“Tom, as you know by now, was very incredibly well prepared,” Dominic wrote in a Patreon post (via<a href=”https://people.com/tom-holland-s-dad-confirms-son-engagement-to-zendaya-8772616″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”> People</a>). “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.” </p>
<p id=”par-11_49″>The reportedly <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/zendaya-giddy-tom-hollands-low-key-surprising-proposal.html/”>low-key proposal</a> happened between Christmas and New Year’s although Holland had wanted to “propose for a while now,” according to a source. While it might’ve surprised the public, Holland and Zendaya’s engagement wasn’t a surprise to loved ones. “Everyone close to them knew the engagement was happening.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_38″>As for what will likely be a star-studded wedding for the pair, Zendaya and Holland aren’t in a hurry to the altar. They’ve “both got a lot of Hollywood projects and commitments coming up,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2025/01/06/zendaya-engaged-tom-holland-golden-globes-ring/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a>. </p>
