Zendaya and Tom Holland Address Marriage Rumors After Oscars Appearance
Zendaya made a surprise appearance at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, presenting the Oscar for Best Director alongside Robert Pattinson. The event came just two weeks after her stylist, Law Roach, claimed she and Tom Holland had secretly married at the 2026 Actor Awards on March 1. During his red carpet interview with Access Hollywood, Roach stated, "The wedding has already happened. You missed it," and when pressed by a reporter, insisted, "It’s exceptionally true."
Zendaya appeared at the Oscars wearing a mocha-brown gown with diamond jewelry, including a prominent ring on her left ring finger. The sighting fueled renewed speculation about her relationship status with Holland, whom she has dated since meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.
On March 16, 2026, Zendaya appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to address the circulating rumors. When host Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that "the internet went berserk" with speculation that she might be married to Holland, Zendaya laughed and replied, "Really? I haven’t seen any of that." She acknowledged that AI-generated wedding photos had been circulating online, saying, "Many people have been fooled by them while I was just out and about in real life," and added, "People are like, ‘Oh, my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous!’ I was like, ‘Babe, they’re AI! They’re not real!’"
To further clarify, Zendaya introduced a video during the interview that turned out to be a wedding scene from her upcoming film The Drama, with Holland’s head crudely inserted over her co-star Robert Pattinson. She joked, "It was a beautiful day … That was real footage. That was real! I was there."
Despite ongoing public interest, Zendaya and Holland have maintained a private relationship throughout their time together. They first met in 2016 while filming the Marvel reboot and have since navigated fame while keeping personal milestones out of the spotlight. Their engagement was confirmed by People magazine in 2025 after Zendaya was photographed wearing a large diamond ring at the Golden Globes.
As of March 2026, neither Zendaya nor Tom Holland has confirmed or denied the marriage claims made by Law Roach, choosing instead to address the misinformation surrounding AI-generated content and reaffirm their preference for privacy.
