Tom Holland has finally confirmed he has married Zendaya and said ‘I found my person, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been’.
The Spider-Man actor, 30, spoke to Esquire UK about the status of his relationship following months of speculation over whether the couple had tied the knot.
Referencing some viral AI-generated ‘wedding’ images that circulated of Tom and Zendaya, 29, he was asked if he had to explain the images to any family members who might have thought theyâd missed their actual wedding.
And confirming the nuptials did actually happen, he said: ‘No, because they were all there…Thatâs all youâll get on that.’
Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach, first claimed that Tom and Zendaya were married when being interviewed at the 2026 Actor Awards in LA, in February.
Roach, 47, casually dropped the news by saying, ‘The wedding has already happened. You missed it!’ but the couple declined to clarify at the time.

Zendaya first debuted her Jessica McCormack engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globes.
Talking about his love, Tom said: ‘Our business can present very stressful situations and itâs 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 understand really what itâs like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just donât understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else.
âSo, for me, I found my person. Sheâs my best friend, and Iâm the happiest I have ever been when Iâm with her, but I have also never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period.â
He also spoke about his first impressions of the actress in a refreshingly open chat.
He said: âObviously, I was super excited at the prospect of working with her and getting to know her.
‘She smashed her audition out the park and got the part before sheâd even left the room. I remember when she closed the door to leave, [producer] Amy Pascal was immediately like, âWell, sheâs getting the job.ââ
Zendaya and Tom Holland have been romantically linked since 2016, after they first met on the set of Spider:Man Homecoming.
They kept their relationship extremely low-key for years, and enjoyed their first joint red carpet appearance in five years at the photocall of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Madrid on Monday.
Tom previously told Men’s Health that he avoids walking the carpet with his partner at premieres ‘because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us’.
There will be plenty of opportunity for joint appearances this year though, as well as reuniting as Peter Parker and MJ in the Spider-Man movie, the two also star together in Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey, due for release in July.
Tom spoke about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth instalment of Hollandâs tenure as the superhero, in his latest Esquire interview.
He said:Â ‘The movie is already the best Spider-Man movie that weâve ever made…This movie is a real mystery and for a large portion of the film, even Spider-Man is a little bit at odds and lost and is like, âWhat is going on?â
‘Weâre just trying to find ways to make this movie feel like a detective movie.â
Zendaya, full name Zendaya Coleman, wore a simple gold band on her left-ring finger beside the $500K Jessica McCormack-designed engagement ring she debuted in January 2025

And detailing who would be a great successor for the role, he said: ‘Â Owen Cooper would be awesome. Obviously heâs super talented and the talk of the town right now.â
âIn the way that Robert Downey was such a mentor for me in my first three movies, I would love to be that person for whoever is next.â
He also touched on his 15-year goal to win an Academy Award, which he shared with The Hollywood Reporter during an interview in 2017:
He said: âIt is truly a vote of our community. Iâm sure thereâs something quite poetic about [Leonardo DiCaprio] winning it later in his career âcause Iâm sure that felt so special to him.
‘So Iâm in no rush, but there is still obviously ambition and desire to one day stand up there and thank my mum.â
He was also asked about his iconic Lip Sync Battle performance of Rihannaâs Umbrella which went viral for all the right reasons.
He said: âI did that Lip Sync Battle show when I was 20 or 21 and I didnât think twice about it.
‘But now, as someone whoâs had a little bit more experience in the public eye and has lived a life of fame for the last decade, I would really overanalyse doing something like that.
‘I just think, as you get older, you get a little bit more cynical. The downsides of something might be a little bit more obvious than the upsides of something.â
