Zendaya and Tom Holland might have embarked on a fresh chapter in their love odyssey, yet the actress keeps the specifics under wraps. Two weeks after her long-time stylist, Law Roach, hinted at the 2026 Actor Awards that the pair had privately tied the knot, the Dune star wryly addressed rumors suggesting that she and Tom had officially taken the next step.
During her March 16 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host brought up the internet's frenzy with stories that she might actually be married to Tom. Zendaya playfully replied, "Really? I haven't seen any of that." However, the Spider-Man star confirmed that she had indeed seen those AI wedding photos of the couple circulating online, which she had to clarify in real life. "Many people have been fooled by them," she admitted. "While I was just going about my life in real life, people would say, 'Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous,' and I would say, 'Babe, they're AI. They're not real.'"
Jimmy then played a clip from Zendaya's movie The Drama (in which she stars alongside Robert Pattinson), with Tom's head instead of her costar's in a wedding photo. "The wedding has already happened," he told Access Hollywood. "You missed it." With a laugh, the 47-year-old added, "It's very true."
The timing of Zendaya and Tom's potentially private ceremony came as a surprise, as Law himself previously admitted that they still had "a lot of time" to prepare for the big day. "The process hasn't even started yet," the stylist told E! News in July. "Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time."
Beyond the timeline update, Law—who has worked with the Challenger actress for more than a decade—expressed how special it is to be a bystander to the couple's romance. "I know that they really love each other and they have for a really long time," he continued. "The fact that the world has been able to share in that love story, I think it's really beautiful."
Although Tom and Zendaya prefer to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, the Spider-Man actor has given a glimpse of his appreciation for their relationship. "I'm lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life," he said during his SmartLess podcast appearance in July 2023. "It's interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone that is in the same boat as you." As he put it, "You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff—and that's worth its weight in gold."
As for why the Spider-Man: No Way Home costars, whose romance was confirmed in 2021, choose to keep their love story to themselves? "Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone; it's our thing."
