JAKARTA - Tom Holland finally answered the rumors that have been circulating for months: he and Zendaya have married.
Based on a report by Gulf News, quoted Tuesday, June 16, the 30-year-old Spider-Man star confirmed the news in a recent interview with Esquire UK.
Holland was asked if he needed to explain to families who might have thought they were not invited after the AI wedding photo went viral earlier this year. The photo caused widespread confusion, even being said to have fooled Holland's own grandmother.
Holland's answer was short.
"No, because they're all there," Holland said.
When asked for further explanation, he did not provide additional details.
"That's all you're going to get on that," he said.
Although he is reticent about marriage, Holland is more open when talking about his relationship with Zendaya.
"Our work can present a very stressful situation and it feels really nice to have a strong foundation of a relationship and be able to withstand the test of time," Holland told Esquire UK, as quoted by Gulf News.
He said that he and Zendaya could support each other because they both understood the pressures of life as public figures.
"I've found the right person. He's my best friend, and I'm happiest when I'm with him. I've also never felt so supported and safe before," said Holland.
The news of their marriage has actually been circulating for a long time. In March, Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, told Access Hollywood that the wedding ceremony had already taken place.
"The wedding has happened. You missed it," Roach said.
In the same month, Zendaya was photographed wearing a wedding ring at the 19th annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood event.
The couple is reported to have become engaged between Christmas 2024 and New Year. Holland is said to have asked for Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, to give his blessing a few months before proposing at one of Zendaya's family homes in the United States.
In January 2025, Zendaya was seen wearing a diamond engagement ring by Jessica McCormack. Its value is estimated at around 500,000 pounds sterling.
In a panel event at almost the same time, a reporter referred to Zendaya as Holland's girlfriend. Holland then corrected with one word: "Fiancée."
Tom Holland and Zendaya first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016. The two confirmed their romance to the public in 2021 after being photographed together in Los Angeles.
Holland has also spoken about Zendaya's support on his journey to quit alcohol. He called the support a very moving and beautiful experience.
The two will appear together on the big screen this year. They star in Christopher Nolan's epic historical film, The Odyssey, and reappear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled to hit theaters on July 29.
