The Spider-Man actor admitted that even his grandmother believed AI-generated wedding photos were real

Tom Holland has confirmed his marriage to Zendaya, ending months of speculation about the couple's relationship status.

The 30-year-old actor addressed viral AI-generated images depicting what appeared to be an elaborate Italian wedding celebration, which had circulated widely on social media earlier this year.


Mr Holland revealed that the fake photographs had even deceived his grandmother, who believed she had missed the occasion.

When asked by Esquire whether he needed to reassure other relatives about the images, the Spider-Man star responded: "No, because they were all there."

He swiftly shut down further enquiries, stating: "That's all you'll get on that."

Despite keeping wedding details private, the Spider-Man actor spoke openly about his relationship with the Euphoria actress.

"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 the magazine.

The actor described how their shared experiences in the spotlight allow them to support one another in unique ways.

"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," Mr Holland said.

The pair first crossed paths whilst filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, with their romance developing over the years that followed.

In January 2025, Zendaya sparked engagement rumors after wearing a custom east-west diamond ring at the Golden Globes.

In early 2026, fans noticed she was wearing a simple gold band on her left ring finger during fashion events and movie promotions.

Speculation about a secret wedding intensified earlier this year when Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, suggested the couple had already exchanged vows.

Their relationship has now spanned nearly a decade, during which time they have remained private about their personal lives.

The Hollywood pair, known for keeping their romance largely out of the public eye, recently stepped onto the red carpet together for the first time in years.

On Monday, the newlyweds stayed close as they attended the Spider-Man: Brand New Day photocall in Madrid.

At one point, the pair held hands as they posed for a photograph together, and Mr Holland put his arm around Zendaya's waist.

News of the now-confirmed marriage between the Hollywood duo went viral on social media, with many fans flooding the comments to share their well-wishes.

One person wrote on X: "The healthiest celebrity relationships are usually the ones we know the least about."

Another added: "He really locked down the most talented woman of our generation in absolute secrecy. Tom Holland understands his place, and we respect him for it."
