The rumor began after an X user claimed Tom Holland was spotted in London with a new girlfriend following his alleged breakup with Zendaya. The user wrote, “Tom Holland in London with new girlfriend after recent breakup with Zendaya 👀”
Within a few hours, the post had received more than 9.6 million views and sparked several comments questioning Holland and Zendaya’s relationship status. One user dismissed the claim, writing, “some of y'all would rather believe a recycled paparazzi pic than accept that tom and zendaya might actually be happy.. embarrassing behavior honestly.”
Another commenter defended the couple, saying, “Tom & Zendaya are still married, pictures have been AI generated because people are clearly jealous of their bond.”
A third user commented, “funny how people have so much to say about a man until he finally stands up for himself.. now let's see who still has something to complain about.”
Another commenter questioned the photos and wrote, “There is no way y’all are falling for this. That isn’t Tom Holland 😭 Tom and Zendaya are still married mind you?”
Fact Check: The claim is false
The claim that Tom Holland was spotted in London with a “new girlfriend” after breaking up with Zendaya is false. Tom Holland and Zendaya are still together and have been widely reported as married.
The nighttime paparazzi-style photos claiming to show Holland with a new girlfriend are actually older pictures of Holland and Zendaya.
The images show the couple holding hands while wearing matching black outfits and caps, similar to their previous outings in London.
They do not show Holland with a new partner. Similar posts have also claimed that Zendaya has a “new boyfriend.”
However, these claims have no credible sources supporting them. Both rumors are misleading, as there is no reliable evidence that the couple has separated.
The couple got engaged in late 2024 or early 2025, after Zendaya appeared at the 2025 Golden Globes wearing a diamond ring.
Rumors about a secret wedding grew in early 2026 after Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, said the couple had already married. Holland later appeared to confirm the news in a June 2026 interview with Esquire UK.
When asked about AI-generated wedding photos circulating online, he said he did not need to tell his family that the pictures were fake “because they were all there.”
The couple has continued to appear together since then, including during the 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' press tour. Reports also described a private wedding celebration in the UK in early August 2026.
They have also been spotted casually walking their dogs in London while wearing matching gold bands. No credible news outlet has reported that they have broken up.
