Our Spidey senses were tingling — and they were right!

Years after Zendaya and Tom Holland — who play love interests in the recent “Spider-Man” installments — took their relationship public, their romance has now reached new heights.

Holland, 28, proposed to the “Challengers” star, TMZ reported on Monday, citing sources close to the couple. People magazine also confirmed they’re engaged.

The Post reached out to Zendaya’s and Holland’s reps for comment.

At the 2025 Golden Globes, the “Euphoria” star, 28, sparked rumors while sporting a dazzling diamond ring on that finger, sending fans into an online frenzy.

“Well congrats to zendaya and tom on the engagement i think??” one user wrote on X. “That is ROCK.”

Another account tweeted, “So is Zendaya engaged? I’ve checked previous pictures of her on red carpets and she’s never warn a ring on her wedding finger until now.”

And according to the LA Times’ post-show coverage, one of their reporters held up her left ring finger and pointed at it. According to the outlet, Zendaya responded by doing “jazz fingers” motions with her ring. 

When the reporter went on to ask the Disney alum if she was engaged, Zendaya reportedly replied with a coy smile and a shrug.

The sparkler appears to be a 5.02-carat Jessica McCormack design that features a cushion-cut center stone set in an east-west style on the designer’s signature button backing.

Internet sleuths have discovered that Zendaya liked one of the jeweler’s Instagram posts as far back as 2022.

Mike Fried, CEO of the Diamond Pro, told Page Six Style that fans could be right. He agreed that the diamond looks to be about 5 carats in size and worth about $150,000.

The “Dune” actress also sported a tiny “T” tattoo on the red carpet, possibly in honor of Holland.

The Hollywood lovebirds first got together in 2017 after meeting on the set of “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

“They got to know each other while on set,” an insider told “E! News” in July 2017. “They became friends and started getting romantic a few months ago. They both are such great people. It’s cool they got together. Everyone gets along with them.”

Although the two have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight over the years, Zendaya did flash another special piece of jewelry in 2023: a gold ring engraved with the initials “TH.”  

But with great love comes great responsibility, and Holland and Zendaya have been diligent about not oversharing their romance.

In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Holland explained that he doesn’t walk red carpets with his famous girlfriend “because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us.”

“We don’t think that we owe it to anyone,” he explained to the Hollywood Reporter in 2023. “It’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

Zendaya echoed her now-fiancé’s sentiments that same year, explaining to Elle: “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share.”

But in 2021, Zendaya couldn’t help but gush over what she loves most about her real-life superhero.

“In an actor way, I appreciate that he really loves being Spider-Man,” she told InStyle. “It’s a lot of pressure — you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man. I think he handled that so well.”

And while playing MJ, Zendaya got to take in all the action up close.

“Our director allowed me to come in every day [of the shoot],” she explained. “And it was cool to see how he cares so much about his work and making it right. I watched him do a fight scene all day, which is exhausting. He’d do a move, come back to the monitors, watch it, and say, ‘I can do that better.’ I’d be like, ‘Dude, you got it.’ But he wants us to be perfect, and I really appreciate that.”

But what Zendaya appreciated the most? As she put it, that Holland is a “fun time.”

“Very charismatic,” she added. “[He] can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat.”

“The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own,” she told GQ in November 2021. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”

Zendaya, however, made it clear the duo still wants to keep their love story close to their hearts.

The newly engaged couple plan to start a family in the future. Holland also told Men’s Health that he will walk away from acting once he becomes a father.

“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore. Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth,” he told the outlet, which published the interview days before the Globes.
