Actor Tom Holland has finally confirmed that he is married to Zendaya, putting months of speculation surrounding the couple's relationship to rest. The actor made the revelation during a recent interview with Esquire, where a candid response about viral AI-generated wedding photos appeared to confirm that the pair had already married.

Tom Holland and Zendaya are married!

Holland was discussing fake AI-generated images that showed him and Zendaya getting married at Italy's Lake Como when he revealed that his grandmother had initially believed the pictures were real and wondered why she had not been invited.

When asked if anyone else had been fooled by the images, Holland replied, "No, because they were all there," confirming that his friends and family had attended the wedding.

The actor, however, chose not to elaborate further, saying with a smile, "That's all you'll get on that."

Rumours of a secret wedding had been circulating for months. The speculation gained momentum in March when Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, hinted that the ceremony had already taken place. Speaking to Access Hollywood on the red carpet, Roach joked, "The wedding has already happened. You missed it."

Neither Holland nor Zendaya addressed the rumours at the time, making the actor's latest remarks the first public confirmation of their marriage.

Tom Holland speaks about his relationship with Zendaya

Elsewhere in the interview, Holland spoke about the strength of his relationship with Zendaya and how they have become each other's biggest support system.

"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. We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we really understand what it's like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just don't understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else," he said.

Holland also called Zendaya his "person" and his "best friend."

"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," he added.

The couple, who first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming (2016) and have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, have long been the subject of wedding rumours.

The duo recently attended a photocall for the upcoming Marvel film Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Madrid. Their last joint red-carpet outing was during the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home in December 2021.
