Once the cat was out of the bag, the rumor mill kept turning out more and more “Tomdaya” gossip. Of course, among many of these rumors was that Tom Holland and Zendaya had gotten engaged, and nobody would have been surprised. After all, it took the couple a long time to spill the beans before they confirmed they were dating, so an engagement certainly would have been kept under wraps as well.
After the 2023 SAG Awards, Zendaya shared a mirror selfie to her Instagram story, and her followers were quick to notice the giant yellow diamond ring on her finger. The internet blew up with preemptive congratulations for the couple, but little did they know, Zendaya’s ring wasn’t from Holland. In fact, it wasn’t a romantic gift at all.
In September 2021, the “Shake It Up” alum told British Vogue that the ring was something she had bought herself. Zendaya showed off one of the perks of being the face of the luxury jewelry brand, Bulgari, saying, “This is my splurge, my treat-myself. I do get a little employee discount.” According to Page Six, the beautiful statement piece is a whopping 21.14 carats. The actress quipped, “It feels like it’s gonna be an heirloom, like one day I can give it to my grandchildren.” Once fans were reminded of Zendaya’s explanation of the ring, the engagement rumors surrounding the Hollywood couple were temporarily subdued.
