00:00If you've been on TikTok lately, you've likely seen the photos, Tom in a tux and Zendaya in a
00:04stunning white gown. They look incredibly real. Even Zendaya's own family thought they were legit.
00:09But earlier this week, Zendaya finally sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to clear up the confusion.
00:13However, some of the internet feels she just made it worse.
00:16That was not AI. No, that was real. That was real. I was there.
00:20To understand why everyone is spiraling, we have to go back to the red carpet,
00:24where Zendaya's longtime stylist and best friend, Law Roach, dropped a massive bombshell.
00:28Y'all, the wedding already happened. Y'all missed it.
00:31He sent fans into a frenzy. One wrote,
00:33We're going to miss the pregnancy too because she's pulling a Kylie Jenner.
00:36Referring to the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan,
00:39who's also the multi-millionaire founder and owner of Kylie Cosmetics.
00:43In 2018, Kylie famously pulled off the impossible by hiding her entire first
00:47pregnancy from the world until after she gave birth. It's an impressive feat for someone who
00:51built an empire off of sharing her life with the world. As for Zendaya and Tom Holland,
00:55they've been Hollywood's favorite mystery since they reportedly met on the Spider-Man set back in
01:002016. But now, Law Roach's announcement has apparently even upset some close friends and
01:05family who were also hurt they didn't get an invite.
01:08In your real life? Yes, many people.
01:10And mad that they weren't invited? Yeah.
01:12But as photos of the alleged wedding started to circulate online,
01:15some noticed they were AI. And Law Roach wasn't making things any better.
01:19Would you care to clarify any comments you made? No.
01:24As he seemingly dodged follow-up questions to clarify if Zendaya was really married.
01:28Okay, well, here's what we want to know. Were you joking or were you serious at the Actors Award?
01:32Um, I think I looked really good at the Actors Award, so I was seriously in my fashion bag.
01:37Now, Law is known for being a bit of a jokester. But when you pair that with the fact that
01:41Zendaya
01:41has been spotted at Paris Fashion Week and the Oscars wearing a simple gold wedding band
01:46alongside her diamond engagement ring, it left fans as far back as late February asking if it
01:51was a secret wedding confirmation, while others continue to call for people to respect the
01:55couple's privacy. But because Tom and Zendaya are so private, fans started using AI to fill in
02:00the blanks. These wedding photos went so viral that Zendaya told Kimmel she was being congratulated
02:05by strangers on the street. Her response?
02:08Babe, they're AI.
02:09But then she did something brilliant. To clear the confusion, she shared an exclusive wedding video.
02:14All right, let's bring in mom and dad.
02:16At first, it looked like a beautiful ceremony, until you realize it's actually a clip from her
02:20A24 movie, The Drama. The clip on Kimmel's show Tom Holland's face cruelly pasted over her
02:26co-star, Robert Pattinson. Now, some online are saying it was the ultimate Una reverse on the
02:30pair of social fans. But here's where everyone is getting lost.
02:34But it was, yeah, it was a beautiful day.
02:35At no point did the Dune actress actually deny being married. She only denied that those specific
02:40photos were real. One fan noted the ring is doing its job. Being married doesn't mean there was a
02:45wedding involved. So whether she's protecting her piece or just promoting the drama, Zendaya is
02:49proving she's the queen of controlling her own narrative. On the other hand, it's easy to see
02:54why the world is obsessed. While the couple didn't officially confirm they were dating until that viral
02:582021 carcass, Tom and Zendaya have spent the last five years becoming one of the most high-profile
03:04couples in the industry, all while being notoriously private about their personal lives. And that level
03:09of mystery is exactly why a single gold band or a joke from La Roche can set the entire internet
03:14on
03:14fire. But what do you think? Is Zendaya officially Mrs. Holland or just another celebrity using a clever
03:20way to sell movie tickets? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and follow what's trending for more
