Zendaya and Tom Holland both knew they found their forever partner when they first started dating a few years ago, but neither of them ever felt the need to rush to the altar.

"Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down," a source spilled to a news outlet after the actress debuted her engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5.

"They had many conversations over the years, but there was never any pressure," the insider continued. "Zendaya is giddy and excited. She knew it might have been coming but never put pressure on it."

A source said the Emmy winner, 28, "tried to keep" the proposal a secret "but was very excited to show off her ring."

"She didn’t think people would notice but didn’t care either way," the insider explained of why she didn't hide the bauble at the star-studded event in Los Angeles.

As OK! reported, the Uncharted lead, also 28, popped the question "in a very low-key way" over the holidays as Zendaya "didn’t want anything over the top."

The engagement was confirmed on Monday, January 6, and that same night, she stepped out in public again and flashed the ring while attending a special screening of her flick Challengers at West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center.

The lovebirds first met when filming Spider-Man: Homecoming, which came out in 2016, but their romance wasn't confirmed until they were caught kissing in 2021.

The pair went on to act in two sequels together, something the British star touched on in a recent interview

"It’s just perfect when you’re on set, and a director will give you a note maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, it’s just that, like, familiar glance, like: ‘I can’t wait to talk about that later!’" he raved of working together.

"That’s where Zendaya and I have been such a strong couple, in the spirit of being able to relate with one another on something that is very, very unique," Holland added.

The "Replay" crooner feels the same way, spilling in an interview, "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him."

The pair's romance was confirmed in 2021.

"He’s so talented and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down," the Disney Channel alum shared. "I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

Us Weekly spoked to the source about the proposal and the stars' relationship.
