Tom Holland opens up about discreet marriage with Zendaya
The confirmation came indirectly, but clearly, when commenting on photos generated by artificial intelligence that simulated the couple’s wedding on Lake Como, in Italy. The images went viral and even fooled Holland’s grandmother, who thought she hadn’t been invited to the celebration.
Asked if he needed to reassure other family members about the fake photos, the actor replied: “No, because they were all there.” When pressed for more details about the ceremony, Holland concluded: “That’s all you’ll know about it.”

The couple, who have been dating since filmingSpider-Man: Homecoming(2017), had already been surrounded by speculation for months. Zendaya showed off a diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globes, which fueled engagement rumors. In March 2026, fashion designer Law Roach, a close friend of the actress, declared in an interview: “The wedding has already happened. You lost it.”
Zendaya, in turn, responded jokingly in theJimmy Kimmel Live!when asked about stories on the internet. The couple maintained as much privacy as possible, something rare in Hollywood.
“I found my person”
In addition to the subtle confirmation about the marriage, Holland spoke candidly about Zendaya’s impact on his life. He described the relationship as a “solid foundation” amid the pressures of fame.
“Our line of work can present very stressful situations and it’s really nice to have a relationship that will stand the test of time. We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we truly understand what it’s like to live this life,” said the actor.
He added: “For me, I found my person. She’s my best friend, and I’m happier than ever when I’m with her, but I’ve also never felt so supported and safe. Period.”
Recent appearances together
Last week, the couple made their first joint red carpet appearance in four years during a publicity event forSpider-Man: A New Day(Brand New Day), in Madrid, Spain. They also have other projects ahead, such asA Space Odyssey, with releases scheduled for July.
The wedding follows the couple’s tradition of discretion, which has always prioritized privacy away from the cameras, even with the intense public interest generated by their chemistry in Marvel films.
