If you thought Zendaya and Tom Holland were already at the center of engagement rumors, you’re definitely not the only one — especially after it was reported that the couple got engaged over the holidays.
But the veracity of these claims has been called into question after Zendaya’s father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, denied Holland asked for his blessing before popping the question. He exclusively told DailyMail that the reports were “a bunch of bullshit”, saying he was not aware of any such request from the Netherlands.
“It was a bunch of crap handled by TMZ,” he told the outlet. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
When pressed further for details, he declined to comment.
In TMZ’s report, sources close to Zendaya and Holland initially said that Holland met with Coleman a few months before he asked for his blessing, showing just how old-fashioned the 28-year-old is.
The proposal reportedly took place between Christmas and New Year’s but was only revealed to the public when Zendaya walked the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards wearing a sparkling diamond ring.
The engagement ring itself is a 5-carat diamond set in white and yellow gold, designed by Jessica McCormack. The 18K ring itself is worth a staggering over $200,000.
The ring was highlighted by Zendaya herself at the Golden Globes and led to speculation that she was engaged before the news broke.
A source described the proposal as “sweet and romantic,” and Holland said it was proposed “old-fashioned.”
According to sources, friends and family led by Zendaya’s mother, Claire Stoermer, and her five siblings, are overjoyed.
The couple also plans to have a family together.
Meanwhile, a source previously confirmed that Zendaya and Holland want a more traditional family model rather than outside support such as nannies or babysitters.
The couple now live a more private life together in a £3.7 million ($4.6 million) Richmond home.
Although the stars have largely kept their romance private since announcing they were a couple in 2021, Holland has shared his desire to take a break from acting to deal with family matters once they have children .
In a previous interview with Men’s Health, he said he one day sees himself as “just a dad” and intends to leave Hollywood.
