Another Spider-Man star is on their way to the altar! Just two months after Tom Holland and Zendaya’s engagement was revealed, the web-slinger’s wingman decided to put a ring on it, too.
And while Tomdaya have still maintained tight lips about their engagement, Jacob Batalon isn’t keeping hush. In fact, he’s shouting on the rooftops how excited he is to become a husband soon. And maybe, just maybe, these couples will be present at each other’s nuptials. That would surely appease the fans for sure.
Jacob Batalon is also engaged!
Unlike with the Tomdaya engagement, there’s no confusion for Jacob Batalon. The Spider-Man actor proposed to his girlfriend under a starry sky with a romantic heart-shaped backdrop made of roses and candles on Wednesday, Mar. 5. The couple shared the news in separate Instagram posts. Batalon posted a carousel of four pictures from the night, captioned, “The beginning of the rest of our lives together,” with a string of adorably excited emojis.
His fiancée, Veronica Leahov, shared the pictures as well. She captioned hers: “A lifetime of us!!!! I never imagined my heart could hold so much love and feel such depth of emotion. This is the purest happiness I’ve ever known, and I can’t wait to spend forever with the love of my life.”
The first picture showed him down on one knee, popping the question to his shocked fiancée who had her hands over her mouth. A gorgeous rose heart backdrop also had the words “would you marry me?” in neon lights. The beautiful New York City lights in the background added to the ambience. Rounding out the post were sweet photos of the couple embracing, as well as a close-up of the ring.
Their engagement comes just two months after Batalon’s Spider-Man co-star, Tom Holland also put a ring on it. Holland and Zendaya have never been too loud about their relationship. Therefore, it’s no surprise that neither of them posted any pictures from the engagement. Nonetheless, their engagement became public when Zendaya came out for the 2025 Golden Globes with a huge diamond on her ring finger. The couple still haven’t made any statements, but sources have confirmed that Holland proposed over the Christmas holidays.
