Sources tell DailyMail.com that ‘starting a family’ is a top priority for the couple once they tie the knot
The Spider Man actor, 28, has been dating his co-star Zendaya and the couple since 2021 together own a $3.7 million home in London’s leafy Richmond.
The insider opened up about the star’s decision to reveal her ring at the star-studded awards ceremony on Sunday night: ‘Zendaya knew what she was doing when she wore that ring, and she didn’t care. She also knew this would come out, but she was ready for it.
‘She loves Tom and he supports her through thick and thin. They have a unique private romance and even though they seem very opposite, nothing could be further from the truth.’
Indeed, the couple seems to have very clear goals for their future after Tom recently expressed his hope of quitting acting and becoming a stay-at-home dad when he and Zendaya have children.
Tom – who also shares two dogs with Zendaya – promised that he will “disappear” from the spotlight once he has a family of his own, explaining that he will be content with just spending time with his kids and the occasional run play golf.
He told it Men’s health magazine: ‘When I have children, you won’t see me in films anymore.
“Golf and dad – and I’ll just disappear off the face of the earth.”
Shedding light on the couple’s plans to become hands-on parents, the source tells DailyMail.com: ‘They don’t want to be the couple who has nannies and babysitters looking after their kids.
The source added, “She is ready to spend her life with him. She’s gotten everything she dreamed of and marrying Tom and starting a family is next on her list’ (pictured in October)

“One of them will always be there with their children when they have children.”
The insider added, “They want to have the traditional family, and they don’t have a team at home right now. They’re just doing their thing and this is how they prefer it.’
Zendaya immediately sparked engagement rumors after showing off a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.
While her burnt tangerine Louis Vuitton dress and new bob hairstyle certainly turned heads, it was the stunning diamond solitaire ring on her left hand that had everyone talking — and it’s valued at $500,000.
Others quickly noticed that it resembled the engagement ring designs of London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack.
Jessica’s page posted a photo of a similar ring in September, describing it as an east-west cushion ring.
Laura Taylor, a jeweler specializing in engagement and wedding rings at Lorel Diamonds, estimates the ring could be worth about $500,000.
She told DailyMail.com: ‘The ring itself has a large diamond, probably between 5 and 6 carats, set on a simple yellow gold band.’

Zendaya and Tom met on the set of Spider-man: Homecoming in 2017, but have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye.
Tom previously revealed that the reason he keeps his relationship with girlfriend Zendaya so private is because their bond is “the thing he holds most sacred.”
Last year he said on Jay Shetty’s podcast: ‘My relationship is what I hold most sacred. I don’t talk about it. I’m doing my best to keep it as private as possible.’
“We both feel like this is the healthiest way to move forward as a couple, so I’m trying to stay as far away from Hollywood as possible.”
