Nine things you need to know | Zendaya"},"content":{"rendered":"

Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland<\/a>, the widely liked gen Z power couple who recently got married after nearly a decade together. Or did they?<\/p>\n

Weeks after Zendaya\u2019s stylist, Law Roach, seemed to spill the news on the red carpet, rumours are still swirling, with neither (alleged) bride nor (purported) groom rushing to put them to rest.<\/p>\n

Yet Zendaya seems to be fuelling speculation with her recent public appearances in all-white. Have \u201cTomdaya\u201d really tied the knot, or could it all be clever marketing for Zendaya\u2019s next film, which revolves around a wedding?<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t save the date<\/p>\n

At the Actor awards earlier this month, Zendaya\u2019s long-time stylist, Law Roach<\/a>, was grilled on the red carpet about his plans for her wedding dress. \u201cThe wedding\u2019s already happened \u2013 you missed it,\u201d he crowed.<\/p>\n

Roach told another outlet that \u201cthe wedding\u2019s over, sorry\u201d, and that his mind had already moved on to how he was going to dress his most famous client through her biggest professional year yet. The similarities in phrasing suggested to some<\/a> that he had been briefed by the couple (or at least given permission) to start spreading the news.<\/p>\n

At the Oscars on Sunday, however, Roach was not so forthcoming with the press, only telling Extra<\/a>: \u201cI said what I said.\u201d He took a different tack with the Hollywood Reporter, responding to their question<\/a> about the Tomdaya wedding: \u201cI think the weather is really amazing today. It\u2019s so sunny!\u201d<\/p>\n

Even Zendaya\u2019s mum is keeping mum<\/p>\n

Weeks later, we still don\u2019t know much more. The only other source \u201cclose to the couple\u201d to go anywhere near the subject publicly has been Zendaya\u2019s mother, Claire Stoermer, who shared Roach\u2019s Actor awards interview<\/a> on social media with a cry-laughing emoji.<\/p>\n

Zendaya attended the Oscars as a Rolex brand ambassador and to present the award for best director, along with Robert Pattinson, her co-star in A24\u2019s forthcoming romantic thriller The Drama.<\/p>\n

Even though she skipped the red carpet, commentators noticed<\/a> she had accessorised her custom Louis Vuitton gown with both her engagement ring and an apparent wedding ring. So, is that confirmation?<\/p>\n

Who needs an invite when you have AI?<\/p>\n

Zendaya is playing coy. Asked about online speculation about her marital status by Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night<\/a>, she performed mock-surprise: \u201cReally? I haven\u2019t seen any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she did comment on the wave of AI-generated images, created by enterprising individuals to imagine her wedding day and deceive people online.<\/p>\n

One that was widely shared<\/a> on social media showed Holland holding his Spider-Man mask in a lakeside setting, and has had more than 11m likes. The creator confirmed to the BBC<\/a> that he had used Google\u2019s Nano Banana image generator to make the pictures, but many have been fooled \u2013 including some in Zendaya\u2019s own circle, she told Kimmel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn real life, people were like, \u2018Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous!\u2019 I was like, \u2018Babe, they\u2019re AI.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not so black and \u2018non-bridal\u2019 white<\/p>\n

Though Zendaya is not commenting directly, she does appear to have been dropping clues through her outfit choices.<\/p>\n

At Paris fashion week, in her first public appearance after Roach\u2019s comments, she wore a white shirt dress, again with a gold wedding band that notably clashed with her otherwise silver jewellery.<\/p>\n

Zendaya wore another white (and gold) minidress at the Essence Black Women<\/a> in Hollywood awards last week. Asked by a presenter<\/a> to give \u201ca sign\u201d about her marital status, the actor seemed to coyly flash her ring. And last night she wore a distinctly bridal off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood gown in white<\/a> to the LA premiere of The Drama.<\/p>\n

Gossip commentators have suggested that, by appearing in \u201cnon-bridal white\u201d, Zendaya permits the press to picture her wedding day without giving away her actual look or compromising her privacy.<\/p>\n

After all, she is well known for \u201cmethod dressing<\/a>\u201d, and referencing her onscreen characters in her red-carpet looks. Is this simply another part?<\/p>\n

It has been a very quiet engagement<\/p>\n

Though they are among the most famous stars of their generation, Holland and Zendaya (both 29) prioritise privacy, particularly around their relationship.<\/p>\n

They \u201cannounced\u201d their engagement last year by Zendaya wearing a diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand to the Golden Globes. TMZ swiftly confirmed the news, citing sources close to the couple, but it wasn\u2019t until September, when Holland corrected a reporter\u2019s reference to his \u201cgirlfriend\u201d, that either of them commented on it directly.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible,\u201d Holland told the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> back in 2023. \u201cWe don\u2019t think that we owe it to anyone: it\u2019s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their romance was minted by Marvel<\/p>\n

Holland and Zendaya met in 2016 after being cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming as the iconic Marvel couple Peter Parker\/Spider-Man and MJ. \u201cThat\u2019s how we met \u2013 literally, at a chemistry read,\u201d Zendaya said in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holland had already appeared as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War; while Zendaya would become even better known a couple of years later when she starred in the HBO teen drama Euphoria (which also made stars of Sydney Sweeney<\/a> and Jacob Elordi<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Though sources have said that they became romantically involved while filming, Holland and Zendaya maintained for years that their relationship was platonic, until a paparazzo caught them kissing in a car in Los Angeles in 2021.<\/p>\n

Not long afterwards, they went Instagram official with Holland\u2019s post marking Zendaya\u2019s birthday, and calling her \u201cmy MJ\u201d. At the time, he told GQ<\/a> the way their relationship was exposed made them feel \u201crobbed of our privacy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now even their dog, Noon, is famous, with his own Instagram fan account and nearly 42,000 followers<\/a>. Zendaya said recently<\/a> that pampering the black miniature schnauzer was her biggest indulgence: \u201cTheir fancy meals with the vitamin supplements \u2026 that\u2019s probably the most ridiculous Hollywood thing about me: how my dog be living.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are a highly likable power couple \u2026<\/p>\n

Along with their \u201cfriends-to-lovers\u201d romance, part of the public fascination with the Tomdaya relationship is that they seem so complementary and to genuinely like each other.<\/p>\n

Zendaya was born and raised in California, and got her start on the Disney Channel. Holland is from Kingston upon Thames and began his career in the Billy Elliot musical, eventually securing the title role in 2008.<\/p>\n

Standing two inches taller than Holland, Zendaya was well ahead of the curve in acknowledging \u201cshort kings\u201d<\/a>, while her beau seems to model a new, enlightened brand of masculinity, being sober, off social media<\/a> and vocally supportive of his partner.<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s 2017 televised lip-sync to Rihanna\u2019s Umbrella in drag<\/a>, while Zendaya cracks up on the sidelines, still routinely does the rounds on social media. Holland has subsequently denied<\/a> that he was making a statement about toxic masculinity: \u201cI was just like, \u2018Yeah, fuck it, I\u2019ll put some fishnets on and dance in the rain.\u2019\u201d These days he prefers golf, he added.<\/p>\n

\u2026 and also highly bankable<\/p>\n

For all their performance of being down-to-earth, Forbes has estimated Tomdaya\u2019s combined net worth<\/a> at US$55m, calling them a \u201ccase study of harmoniously building wealth\u201d.<\/p>\n

2021\u2019s Spider-Man: No Way Home, their third Spider-Man film together, broke box-office records (including for most advance ticket sales in the UK<\/a>) and remains one of the highest-grossing<\/a> films in history.<\/p>\n

Zendaya has had starring roles in blockbusters such as The Greatest Showman, Dune and Challengers, on top of lucrative partnerships with Lanc\u00f4me, Bulgari, Valentino and other luxury brands.<\/p>\n

Holland has his own non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero, which has been valued at more than US $100m and recently struck deals with car manufacturer Aston Martin<\/a> and fitness franchise Barry\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brace yourself for the Tomdaya double bill<\/p>\n

This year Holland and Zendaya may break their own box-office records as they reprise their Marvel roles for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, due in cinemas in July. That same month, they will appear together in Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For Zendaya especially, 2026 \u2013 the last year of her 20s \u2013 is shaping up to be the biggest of her career, with five major projects<\/a> due. In mid-April, she is returning to the small screen for the long-awaited third season of Euphoria, before concluding the year with Dune: Part Three<\/a>, hitting theatres just before Christmas.<\/p>\n

But next up is The Drama, directed by Kristoffer Borgli. Zendaya and Pattinson play an engaged couple whose wedding plans are derailed by the discovery of an explosive secret.<\/p>\n

The marketing for the film has skirted reality, with an engagement notice for Zendaya and Pattinson\u2019s characters printed in the Boston Globe last December<\/a> and A24 running a takeover of a wedding chapel<\/a> in Las Vegas this month. Zendaya herself attended<\/a> one of the ceremonies, serving as the couple\u2019s official witness.<\/p>\n

The blurring of fact and fiction has only fuelled confusion over whether or not Tomdaya have actually wed or if, heaven forbid, it is all just promo.<\/p>\n

On Kimmel on Monday, Zendaya offered<\/a> \u201ca little something to just clear the confusion\u201d: a clip from The Drama showing her at the altar, with Holland\u2019s face crudely superimposed over Pattinson\u2019s. She joked that it was \u201creal footage\u201d of a \u201cbeautiful day\u201d.<\/p>\n

Clearly, this couple have no intention of letting us in on their private moments, and we should commend their commitment to boundaries in a parasocial age. But if their relationship really is a Spider-Man tie-in, or cross-promo cooked up by Marvel and A24, please \u2013 don\u2019t let us ever find out.<\/p>\n
