Zendaya and Tom Holland engaged, report says
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” co-stars Zendaya Coleman and Tom Holland are reportedly engaged, nearly nine years after meeting on set of the superhero film.
Despite her solo appearance on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday, eagle-eyed red carpet onlookers on Sunday spotted a ring on Zendaya’s left hand that fueled engagement speculation, especially since it did not appear to be from Bulgari, the jeweler who supplied her Golden Globes bling.
Well, it appears the supplier of the ring in question was indeed longtime beau Holland. A source close to the famously private couple confirmed to TMZ that the couple got engaged over the holidays. The insider says the proposal was intimate, true to the couple’s low-key romance.
Some clips on social media taken during the Golden Globes ceremony appeared to depict Zendaya showing off the new diamond stunner to film exec Amy Pascal, further convincing fans that Holland had popped the question.
Though they first met professionally in 2016, Zendaya and Holland did not confirm a romance until 2021.
While they’ve been reluctant to talk about their relationship in the press, Holland recently opened up in an interview to Men’s Health about his thoughts on fatherhood, indicating he had family and home life on the brain.
“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” he told the magazine, saying he will focus on being a parent and his other love: golfing. “Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”

LOS ANGELES — Incoming first lady Melania Trump will be the subject of a new documentary directed by Brett Ratner and distributed by Amazon Prime Video. The streaming arm of the tech giant got exclusive licensing rights for a streaming and theatrical release later this year, the company said Sunday.
Filming is already underway on the documentary. The company said in a statement that the film will give viewers an “unprecedented behind-the-scenes look” at Melania Trump and also promised a “truly unique story.”
The former and now future first lady also released a self-titled memoir late last year. Her husband takes office on Jan. 20.
The film is the latest connection between Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump. The company in December announced plans to donate $1 million to the President-elect’s inauguration fund, and said that it would also stream Trump’s inauguration on its Prime Video service, a separate in-kind donation worth another $1 million.
The two men had been at odds in the past. During his first term, Trump criticized Amazon and railed against the political coverage at The Washington Post, which Bezos owns. But he’s struck a more conciliatory tone recently as Amazon and other tech companies seek to improve their relationship with the incoming president.
In December, Bezos expressed some excitement about potential regulatory cutbacks in the coming years and said he was “optimistic” about Trump’s second term.
Bezos in October did not allow the Post to endorse a presidential candidate, a move that led to tens of thousands of people canceling their subscriptions and to protests from journalists with a deep history at the newspaper. This weekend, a cartoonist quit her job after an editor rejected her sketch of the newspaper’s owner and other media executives bowing before the president-elect.
The film also marks the first project that Ratner has directed since he was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including actor Olivia Munn, in the early days of the #MeToo reckoning in November 2017. Ratner, whose lawyer denied the allegations, directed the “Rush Hour” film series, “Red Dragon” and ’’X-Men: The Last Stand.”
Fernando Sulichin, an Argentine filmmaker, is executive producing the film, which began shooting in December.
Melania Trump, Donald Trump’s third wife, has been an enigmatic figure since her husband announced he was running in the 2016 election. She had sought to maintain her privacy even as she served as first lady, focusing on raising their son, Barron, and promoting her “Be Best” initiative to support the “social, emotional, and physical health of children.”
While she appeared at her husband’s campaign launch event for 2024 and attended the closing night of the Republican National Convention this summer, she has otherwise stayed off the campaign trail, though the demands of again being first lady may dictate a higher public profile after Inauguration Day.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka says she and her partner, rapper Cordae, “are no longer in a relationship.”
Osaka posted the news on social media Monday, less than a week before the Australian Open tennis tournament begins. Osaka won that event in 2019 and 2021. She also owns two titles from the U.S Open.
She and Cordae became parents to a daughter in Los Angeles in July 2023. Osaka returned to the tour at last year's Australian Open after about 15 months off.
“No bad blood at all, he's a great person and an awesome dad,” Osaka wrote. “Honestly really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together.”
She closed the post with a heart emoji.
