Tom Holland has confirmed that he and Zendaya are married, ending months of speculation surrounding one of Hollywood’s most closely followed relationships.

Speaking in a new interview with Esquire UK, the 30-year-old actor addressed rumours that intensified earlier this year after AI-generated wedding photographs circulated online and reportedly even convinced members of his own family.

When asked whether he had needed to reassure relatives who may have thought they had been excluded from the wedding, Holland replied, “No, because they were all there.”

Pressed for further details about the ceremony, he declined to elaborate, adding, “That’s all you’ll get on that.”

While Holland remained guarded about the wedding itself, he spoke openly about his relationship with Zendaya and the support they provide each other as two of the entertainment industry's most recognisable stars.

“Our business can present very stressful situations and it's really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,” he told Esquire.

“We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it's like to live this life. I just don't understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else. So, for me, I found my person. She's my best friend, and I'm the happiest I have ever been when I'm with her, but I have also never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period.”

According to the report, confirmation of the marriage follows months of speculation. In March, Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, appeared to reveal that the wedding had already taken place, saying, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it.”

Holland and Zendaya first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016 and publicly confirmed their relationship in 2021.

The couple are set to share the screen again this year in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
