Tom Holland has officially confirmed his secret marriage to his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, per pagesix.com.
Speaking in an interview with Esquire published on June 16, the 30-year-old British actor put an end to months of intense speculation by revealing that his family members attended the private wedding ceremony.
The confirmation arose when Holland was asked if he had to inform his family that viral, AI-generated photos of the couple’s wedding circulating on social media were fabricated. Holland clarified that his family already knew the images were fake because they attended the actual event, adding that no further details would be provided.
While maintaining privacy regarding the ceremony, Holland praised his 29-year-old wife, describing her as his “person” and “best friend.” He noted that having a stable relationship provides essential support against the unique stresses of the entertainment industry, stating he feels the safest and happiest when he is with her.
The couple, who first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017 and went public with their relationship in 2021, sparked marriage rumours in February when Zendaya was seen wearing a gold band instead of her engagement ring. Her stylist, Law Roach, subsequently claimed in March that the wedding had already taken place.
Zendaya previously addressed the situation during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 17, noting that acquaintances had mistaken the AI images for real photographs. She later stated on a podcast on April 1 that the couple preferred to maintain strict boundaries regarding their personal lives to preserve their joy.
The confirmation coincides with the start of the promotional tour for their upcoming Marvel film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for release on July 31. The couple made their first joint red carpet appearance in five years at a photocall for the film in Madrid, Spain, on Monday, where Zendaya was again photographed wearing the gold band.
