I first saw this claim on a TikTok video. I haven't seen any proof that they are actually engaged, but I've seen the claim be made so many times on social media now.

Zendaya and Tom Holland seem to be a very private couple when it comes to their relationship, so I doubt there will not be any clear evidence of their engagement until they decide to reveal it themselves.

There han't been any confirmation from either of them yet on whether this is true or not.

But that link is a subtle thing that Zendaya's mom did in reaction to those rumors.

Unfortunately there hasn't been any confirmation from any reliable source of an engagement between the two successful actors. Even Zendaya's mom made a comment on her social media about clickbait and the harmful nature surrounding it which probably means that the rumors are not true. Below I've linked two separate articles December of 2022 when these rumors were initially started.

Link #1 - Capital FM Article

Link #2 - Buzzfeed Article

Tom and Zendaya have a very private relationship; neither has explicitly come out to the media and reported an engagement. The rumor began because of a pop-centered media Twitter account, and Zendaya's mom responded to the rumors and denied them.

Who got their source from Zendaya's mom's intstagram where she posted a definition of "clickbait," which is what that twitter account was doing posting about them being engaged.

“Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content,” the quote read. “It often relies on exaggerating claims or leaving out key information in order to encourage traffic.” - this was posted by Zendayas mom on Instagram in response to the engagement rumors. Therefore, no they are not engaged.

There has been no confirmation of an engagement. They're relationship went public in 2021 and they are still together til this day. Zendaya's mother implied on Instagram that the engagement rumors were fake. Tom even once stated how he prefers to keep his private life private. A source from US Weekly supposedly said, "They seem serious and permanent. They're both in settling-down mode and are absolutely planning for a real future together." This means that they are not engaged yet, but it could happen real soon in the near future.
