The 28-year-old actor attended an FYC screening of her acclaimed flick, Challengers, at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, per People.

Zendaya's new diamond ring was front and center as she walked out on stage after the screening, putting her left hand to her chest so the jewelry was on full display.

The Euphoria star first revealed the rock – a 5.02-carat ring from London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack – at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.

The diamond immediately got the rumor mill turning with chatter that she was now engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Tom Holland.

When asked by a journalist about the possibility, Zendaya flashed her ring but didn't answer the question directly.

It was the following day that TMZ led the confirmations of an engagement, with sources close to the couple later confirming the news to People as well.

Insiders have now shared further details of Tom's proposal, which is said to have taken place between Christmas and New Year's.

According to People, the 28-year-old Uncharted actor had been wanting to pop the question to Zendaya for "a while" but was waiting for the right time.

"He's always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one," a tipster told the outlet. "They have something very special."

Another source explained to Us Weekly, "Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down."
