Tom Holland recently melted hearts online after sweetly correcting a reporter who mistakenly referred to Zendaya as his "girlfriend." The actor, best known for his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, gently interjected with a single word: “Fiancée.”

The wholesome moment took place during a public panel, a clip of which has been widely shared on social media. The reporter was recounting how his daughter met Zendaya at a recent event, saying, “I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend. So, I was father of the year.” Without missing a beat, Holland smiled and clarified, “Fiancée,” subtly confirming what many fans have speculated since earlier this year.

Tom Holland and Zendaya, who have famously kept their relationship mostly private, got engaged in January 2025 — a detail that was quietly revealed not by the couple themselves, but by Tom’s father, Dominic Holland. In a Patreon blog post dated January 10, Dominic confirmed that his son had proposed to Zendaya in a carefully planned and intimate setting.

According to the post, Tom went about the engagement the traditional way — he purchased a ring, sought permission from Zendaya’s father, and planned every detail of the proposal meticulously. “He had everything planned out... When, where, how, what to say, what to wear,” Dominic wrote, as reported by E! News.

Zendaya first sparked engagement rumors when she was seen wearing a dazzling 5-carat diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. Soon after, the couple’s stylist and close friend, Law Roach, confirmed the news while attending the Fashion Trust Awards in Los Angeles.

Roach, who will reportedly be involved in planning the wedding, made it clear that fans shouldn’t expect the ceremony anytime soon. “It’s far away,” he said, adding that both stars are currently busy with multiple film projects. “They’re both doing a bunch of movies this year and there’s a lot of premieres next year, so you’ll see a lot of red carpets.” He joked, “I’m resting up for 2026.”

Though the wedding may still be a while off, fans can’t get enough of the couple’s subtle yet affectionate way of confirming big moments — just like Tom’s sweet “fiancée” correction.
