  • Tom Holland, 27, and Zendaya, 27, were spotted having a romantic stroll in London and the young couple engaged in some steamy PDA.

  • On Saturday, Rihanna, 35, stepped out for a date night with her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, 35. While having a romantic outing in the Big Apple, the “Work” singer was spotted wearing a diamond ring on *that* special finger, fueling engagement rumors.
