"We can only assume Tom has a Z tattoo somewhere": Fans react as Zendaya seemingly sports an engagement ring at Golden Globes

Actress Zendaya sparked engagement rumors with boyfriend Tom Holland following her appearance at the Golden Globes 2025 on Sunday, January 5, 2024, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Challengers actress walked the red carpet in a custom Louis Vuitton burnt orange gown complemented by Bulgari accessories. Eagle-eyed fans noted that the ensemble featured rings on both her hands, including her engagement finger. Others spotted a tiny "t" (seemingly) tattoo on Zendaya. This led many to believe that the couple was engaged.

As pictures from the event went viral, internet users were quick to react. One commented:

"if zendaya has a t tattoo we can only assume tom has a z tattoo somewhere."

Netizens continued to gush about the pair's alleged engagement and tattoo. Here are some comments seen on X:

"THE FACT THAT HER FIRST TATTOO IS A T AND ITS NEXT TO HER HEART STOP IT," one commented.

"Okay so honestly, they may already be married. And she’s wearing the ring to keep people off the scent," another wrote.

"MY TOMDAYAAAAAA," a person reacted.

Others expressed their skepticism.

"that’s a cross," a user stated.

"me tryna understand how streets jumped to the conclusion its a t tattoo bc that look like a stray piece of fabric from whatever strapless she got on under to me," another added.

"not everyone thinking Zendaya is engaged with that diamond on her finger there’s no way she would announce an engagement on a red carpet lol," one commented.

Zendaya and Tom Holland began dating in July 2017, but their relationship wasn't confirmed until July 2021

Zendaya's appearance on Sunday was her first Golden Globes appearance since 2016. She was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture musical or comedy for Challengers. According to a report by People magazine, her longtime stylist, Law Roach, curated her look, with hairstyle by Coree Moreno.

As pictures from the event began circulating online, fans were quick to research Zendaya's outfit. One X user, @MazedMadison, figured the actress' ring was not a part of the Bulgari set. They further noticed the similarities between it and a $200,000 engagement ring from Jessica McCormack, a London-based jeweler.

Tom Holland and Zendaya met on the set of the MCU's Spider-Man: Homecoming. According to a January 2025 report by Elle, they began dating soon after the film's release in 2017 but kept it a secret till July 2021 when paparazzi spotted them sharing a kiss in Los Angeles. However, the pair has been private about their relationship.

This is not the first time the actress has sparked engagement rumors. According to an article by Cosmopolitan, in September 2023, the former Disney star addressed speculations surrounding a photo she shared on Instagram. The image in question featured the actress showing off her hat. However, fans were quick to zero in on a pearl ring on her finger.

At the time, she deleted her post and took to her Instagram stories to explain:

"I can't post anything you guysssss. I posted it for my hat!" before adding, "like not for the ring on my right finger you guys! Seriously, you think that's how I would drop the news? You think, like?! What!"

Last week, Tom Holland discussed (with Men's Health) why he doesn't walk the red carpet events with his girlfriend. The Devil All the Time actor explained that it wasn't his moment, and if they went together, people tended to make the moment about them.
