Life & Style<\/em> <\/a>went so far as to share that the couple were actually planning a wedding!\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cTom and Zendaya are in a very positive place and they\u2019ve been exclusive now for more than five years,\u201d the source, who has known the couple for years, shared with the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are part of each other\u2019s families at this point and marriage has been part of the conversation for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the pair have \u201csome time off before the next Spider-Man<\/em> gears up,\u201d the insider explained \u201che\u2019s never going to have a clearer path to formally propose and much more importantly, to plan for his and Zendaya\u2019s wedding.\u201d<\/p>\nThat all sounds well and good \u2013 but is it something that Zendaya even wants right now?<\/p>\nTom Holland and Zendaya attendsthe Los Angeles premiere of Sony Pictures\u2019 \u2018Spider-Man: No Way Home\u2019 on December 13, 2021.

\u201cThey\u2019re both so young,\u201d the inside source reasoned to Ok<\/em>!. \u201cThey have their whole lives ahead of them.\u201d<\/p>\nThe insider said of Zendaya: \u201cand right now she\u2019d rather focus on her career.\u201d But, to be clear, it\u2019s not a rejection.<\/p>\n
\u201cZendaya isn\u2019t saying no,\u201d the source emphasized of the alleged engagement talk. \u201cShe\u2019s saying let\u2019s wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
That part still remains true, according to the more recent source. There are no plans for the couple to \u201celope,\u201d and in fact, when the time does come, they want to have a very big celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth of their families have been big cheerleaders for this relationship and neither of them want this to change.\u201d<\/p>\nZendaya attends BAFTA Hosts Los Angeles Special Screening Of \u201cChallengers\u201d at Crescent Theater on April 18, 2024.

In 2023, Zendaya posted and then deleted a photo featuring a ring. The prominently displayed piece of jewelry had driven fans into a frenzy \u2014 but she clarified that, no, this was not a soft launch of engagement news.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t post anything, you guys,\u201d Zendaya lamented in a follow-up video on her Instagram Story in September of 2023. \u201cI posted it for my hat. Like not for the ring on my right hand, you guys, seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then asked her fans: \u201cYou think that\u2019s how I would drop the news? You think, like, what!\u201d<\/p>\n
In the fans\u2019 defense \u2013 it\u2019s how other stars are starting rumors too! (We\u2019re looking at you, Selena Gomez<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n
