Tom Holland has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his private nuptials to Zendaya, effectively confirming that the couple are married. In a candid new interview, the Spider-Man star revealed that his family was present for the ceremony, putting an end to months of speculation.

Rumors of a secret wedding began circulating in early 2025. Speculation intensified when Zendaya was spotted wearing a diamond ring at the Golden Globes in January . The gossip mill went into overdrive in March when Zendaya’s long-time stylist and friend, Law Roach, seemingly let the cat out of the bag. Speaking to Access Hollywood on the red carpet, Roach stated, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it” .

Despite Roach’s comments, the notoriously private couple remained silent on the matter. Meanwhile, the rumor mill was further fueled by artificial intelligence. AI-generated images depicting the couple’s wedding at a lavish Lake Como setting began circulating on social media, racking up millions of views . The images were so convincing that they even fooled some family members. Zendaya herself addressed the fakes during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, humorously noting that people had been congratulating her on the “gorgeous” AI photos .

Now, in his cover story for Esquire’s July/August issue, Holland has finally spoken out . When asked about the AI images, the actor explained that his grandmother saw them and thought she had not been invited to the real wedding. The interviewer then asked if he had to send similar messages to other relatives to clarify the situation. Holland’s response was telling: “No, because they were all there” .

The statement serves as the first public confirmation from the couple themselves that the wedding has indeed taken place. However, Holland remained tight-lipped about the details of the big day. When pressed further by the magazine, he firmly declined to elaborate, stating, “That’s all you’ll get on that” . This refusal to share specifics is consistent with the couple’s long-standing commitment to keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight.

While he would not discuss the ceremony, Holland did open up about the profound impact Zendaya has had on his life. He spoke warmly about the stability and support they provide each other in an industry known for its pressures. “We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it’s like to live this life,” he told the magazine . He further described Zendaya as his “person” and his “best friend,” stating, “I’m the happiest I have ever been when I’m with her” .

The couple first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016 and began dating publicly in 2021 . After years of friendship and a highly publicized romance, their recent confirmation marks a new chapter for the pair, who are notoriously protective of their private life.

Holland and Zendaya have since been seen together publicly. They made their first red carpet appearance following the confirmation at a photo call for their upcoming film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in Madrid, where Zendaya was notably wearing a simple gold band on her left ring finger . The highly anticipated film is scheduled for release in the United States on July 31 .
