Sources have confirmed that the actor took the traditional route to propose to his now-fiancée, Zendaya.

TMZ reports that the Marvel star asked Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, for her hand in marriage "months ago."

Kazembe is said to have accepted the actor's request, and Zendaya's family is nothing short of excited for her and her beau, whom they reportedly consider to be "a class act."

According to the news outlet, Holland took his time to propose after getting Kazembe's blessings, as he wanted to do it at the right moment.

This information comes after it was confirmed that Holland had proposed to Zendaya at one of her family's homes in the U.S. sometime between the Christmas and New Year's celebrations.

Zendaya herself flaunted her massive diamond ring at the just-concluded Golden Globe Awards, which initially sparked the engagement speculations.

However, neither Holland nor Zendaya have officially addressed the reports of their engagement.
