At a special screening of his new movies The Wrecking Crew, Jacob Batalon spoke about his upcoming wedding. He joked that his Spider-Man co-stars, Tom Holland and Zendaya, copied his style by getting engaged around the same time he did. In an interview with People Magazine, the 29-year-old actor, known for playing Ned Leeds in the Marvel franchise, joked that even though his engagement announcement came later, “They copied me.”
The whole conversation started when Zendaya subtly confirmed her engagement to Holland last January by sporting a massive diamond at the 2015 Golden Globes. Just two months later, on March 5, 2025, Batalon announced his own engagement to his fiancée, Veronica Leahov. He shared beautiful photos from their romantic New York City proposal on Instagram.
