The year 2025 kicked off with some surprising feats; the most surprising of them was when Tom Holland and Zendaya were confirmed to be engaged. The couple met each other in 2016 on sets of Holland’s Marvel entry, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and soon were rumored to be dating. However, Holland and Zendaya are not the only Marvel stars to be engaged, since their Spider-Man co-star, Jacob Batalon, is now engaged too.
The actor had been quietly dating his now-fiance, Veronica Leahov, for quite some time. After keeping it quiet for all this time, he recently shared pictures of his proposal on Instagram, just months after Holland and Zendaya’s engagement.
Tom Holland and Zendaya’s co-star Jacob Batalon is now engaged!
The MCU’s Spider-Man movies feature the trio, Tom Holland‘s Peter Parker, Zendaya‘s MJ/Mary Jane aka Parker’s girlfriend, and Parker’s faithful best friend, Jacob Batalon‘s Ned Leeds. While the three characters have formed an unlikely trio in the Spider-Man films, their actor counterparts also share a special relationship in real life.
While Holland and the Challengers’ star were confirmed to be engaged back in January, Batalon too announced his engagement just two months after his co-stars. In an Instagram post, posted on March 5, the actor shared a photo of him popping the question to his girlfriend in front of the NYC skyline.
Captioning the photo with ‘The beginning of the rest of our lives together,’ the actor was dressed in all black while his girlfriend, Veronica Leahov, looked elegant in a peach-colored gown and a fur jacket. The actor had his proposal arranged in front of the NYC skyline with a huge heart made of flowers, with the words ‘Will you marry me?’ dangling between it and candles all around them.
Meanwhile, Leahov shared some more pictures from the romantic evening on her Instagram. 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!!— wrote Leahov in the caption of her post.
Who is Jacob Batalon’s girlfriend, Veronica Leahov?
Just like his Spider-Man co-stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, too, apparently likes to keep his love life private. Although he announced his engagement on social media, the actor hasn’t really shared any updates about his love life with the public.
However, he confirmed his ‘dating’ status, when his now-fiance, Veronic Leahov, made an appearance on his Instagram for the first time back in September 2024. The two must have been dating for quite some time before they made their relationship Instagram official.
Veronia Leahov, according to her Instagram bio, is an Architectural Designer and specializes in space planning and finish selection. According to her website, she was born and raised in Modova and moved to Belgium to study. Having completed her Master’s in Interior Design from NYC, she has been living in New York since and works with AARON DUSSAIR.
She describes her style as a blend of European style and international experience to the creation of a uniquely modern design. She loves to design exclusive private residences and holiday homes and dabbles her time between New York, Hamptons, and London for work. She loves traveling and exploring ‘new restaurants.’
