Zendaya and Robert Pattinson: The Engagement Buzz
The internet went into a frenzy recently with rumors swirling about Zendaya and Robert Pattinson being engaged. However, these speculations stem from their roles in upcoming films rather than real life.
The pair are set to co-star in three films scheduled for release next year, including The Drama, The Odyssey, and Dune: Part Three.
The Drama, an A24 production, is centered around a couple engaged to be married who uncover shocking truths about each other as their wedding day approaches. Zendaya and Pattinson portray the couple, Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson, who are the ones engaged in the storyline, not the actors themselves.
The marketing team for the film deserves acknowledgment for their clever tactics. The release of a photo showing Zendaya with an engagement ring sparked confusion, especially alongside mock photos of a Boston Globe announcement.
This led some to wonder: “Did A24 actually place an engagement announcement in The Boston Globe as part of the film’s marketing?”
In a nod to Zendaya’s real-life fiancé Tom Holland, a Twitter user commented: “Someone check on my boy Tom.”
Others joined in with humor, saying: “It might be over for Spider-Man lol,” and another quipped: “I will pay any amount to see Tom Holland’s reaction right now.”
Meanwhile, excitement for the movie is mounting, with fans eagerly anticipating its release on April 3, 2026.
One fan expressed: “I’m just too seated for this,” while another wrote: “The poster gives off an intense, slightly chaotic vibe; I can’t wait for THE DRAMA!”
Another echoed the sentiment: “We all are eagerly waiting for it.”

On a personal note, Holland proposed to Zendaya between Christmas and New Year last year. Their engagement became public when Zendaya showcased a dazzling ring at the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
Holland’s father, Dominic Holland, later confirmed the engagement on his Patreon blog (via PEOPLE), detailing: “Tom, as you know by now, was very incredibly well prepared.
“He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter. Tom had everything planned out… When, where, how, what to say, what to wear.”
While Zendaya is engaged to Spider-Man star Holland, Pattinson is engaged to Suki Waterhouse. The couple reportedly became engaged in December 2023 and welcomed their first child in March 2024, though they have not disclosed their baby’s name publicly.
