Tom Holland sat down for a panel recently and made it quite clear that he and Zendaya are still on the road to marriage … after an interviewer called her his “girlfriend.”

When an off-camera reporter says, “I brought my daughter and she got to meet your girlfriend” … Tom is quick to say “fiancée” into the mic — making sure no one gets it twisted.

We broke the story that the famed couple had gotten engaged back in January … and this is seemingly the first time he’s publicly confirmed the engagement to his 29-year-old Marvel co-star since.
