00:00 I can't post anything, you guys.
00:02 Did Zendaya really announce her and Tom Holland's engagement?
00:07 Not so fast.
00:08 Fans went wild after the superstar posted a photo of herself rocking a massive ring
00:14 on September 21st.
00:15 However, that wasn't the accessory she had intended to highlight.
00:19 Z set the record straight in a now-deleted video on her Instagram story and laughed off
00:24 not only the proposal speculation, but how quickly followers jumped to conclusions.
00:30 I can't post anything, you guys.
00:32 I posted it for my hat.
00:35 Like, not for the ring on my right finger, you guys.
00:42 Seriously.
00:42 Indeed, the snap-in question showed Zendaya looking at a reflection of herself while sporting
00:48 a Golden State Warriors cap, but many likely noticed the giant pearl first and didn't think
00:53 about which hand it was on.
00:55 Mirror confusion aside, Zendaya also noted that she'd find a different way to share
01:00 something so major.
01:02 You think that's how I would drop the deuce?
01:04 What?
01:07 She has a point.
01:09 Zendaya and her Spider-Man co-star have both discussed how careful they are when it comes
01:13 to balancing their private and public lives.
01:15 The Challenger star previously opened up for Elle's September issue and reflected on how
01:20 she's approaching her relationship with Tom in the spotlight and why she understands that
01:24 there's an inevitable give and take, telling the mag,
01:27 "Parts of my life I accept are going to be public.
01:31 I can't not be a person and live my life and love the person I love, but also I do
01:36 have control over what I choose to share.
01:38 It's about protecting the peace and letting things be your own, but also not being afraid
01:42 to exist.
01:43 You can't hide.
01:44 That's not fun either.
01:46 I am navigating it more than ever now."
01:48 Zendaya and Tom have been together for years and fans always love catching wholesome glimpses
01:53 at their relationship, including this adorable moment where a TikTok user spotted them singing
01:58 along to Beyonce's "Love on Top" at the Renaissance tour in June.
02:01 Though the pair takes their privacy seriously, they do find ways to talk about their love
02:07 story on their terms.
02:08 Tom previously shared in an interview with Unilad that his passion for carpentry paid
02:13 off early into his romance with Zendaya when he took the initiative to show off his handyman
02:18 skills.
02:19 "I fixed my girlfriend's door once really early on in our relationship.
02:23 I was hanging out at her house and her door was broken.
02:25 I was like, 'I'm gonna fix that door for you.'
02:28 And now we're in love."
02:29 And they've both given each other cute birthday shoutouts.
02:33 For Zendaya's 27th on September 1st, Tom dropped this playful photo of the Emmy winner
02:38 getting ready to snorkel.
02:39 And on Tom's big day three months earlier, Zendaya posted an Instagram photo of her bow
02:44 floating in the water and making a heart with his hands.
02:48 The "Euphoria" star also shared a snap of the British actor smiling by the ocean and
02:52 added a heart-eyed emoji.
02:54 The lovebirds couldn't seem more smitten, and they've always valued where their connection
02:58 started - a solid friendship.
03:00 Back in 2021, Access Hollywood spoke to Tom, Zendaya and their "Spider-Man" castmate
03:05 Jacob Batalon, and they all recalled their first impressions of each other.
03:09 "I remember when I first met you at your audition."
03:13 "Yeah."
03:13 "And we bonded immediately."
03:15 "Your audition came just hilarious.
03:16 You guys are great."
03:17 "Yeah, no, it was definitely pretty crazy how we literally didn't even know each other."
03:21 "And then immediately I was like, 'I like this guy.'"
03:23 "It's the one."
03:25 "Yeah, it was pretty amazing."
03:26 "Well, I feel like when I first met you at the screen test, I was like, 'I'm not
03:32 going to get this.
03:33 I'm way too tall.'"
03:34 "Yeah."
03:34 "Because everybody was, like, I was just the tallest one.
03:38 And I was like, 'This is, well, this isn't going to work.'"
03:39 "But everyone was tall."
03:40 "Yeah."
03:41 "As well, though.
03:41 Like, Laura was tall.
03:42 You were tall.
03:43 Like, I remember thinking to John, I was like, 'Bro.'"
03:47 "What's going on here?"
03:48 "But guess what?
03:48 We walked into the room and there were chairs."
03:52 "There was a chair."
03:52 "And I was like, 'Yes.'"
03:54 "There's still hope."
03:56 "There's still hope.
03:56 And here we are today.
03:57 Here we are today."
