'Love Island U.K.' Winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare Announce Engagement

Several stars are taking the next step in their relationship in 2025 by making things official with their significant other.

One day later, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Holland had popped the question to Zendaya years after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016. Travis Kelce, meanwhile, surprised fans in August when he popped the question to Taylor Swift after two years of dating.
