It was also claimed that no family was around them as it was just the two of them when he asked the beauty to become Mrs Holland.
The proposal was also called ‘romantic and not over the top.’
News of the reported engagement comes after Zendaya sparked engagement rumors when she flashed a massive diamond ring on her wedding finger at the Golden Globes.
The superstar, who has been in a romance with Holland since 2021, seemed to have more to celebrate than just her acting nomination for Challengers at the star-studded event.
While her burnt tangerine Louis Vuitton gown and her new bob hairstyle certainly turned heads, it was the dazzling accessory on her left hand that had everyone talking – and it has been valued at $500,000.
