While walking the red carpet at the 2026 Actor Awards on Sunday, Roach dropped the surprise claim, telling Access Hollywood, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it.” When a reporter followed up for clarification, he doubled down with a laugh: “It’s very true.”
Representatives for both actors have been contacted for comment.
Roach’s remarks arrive amid renewed speculation about the couple’s relationship status. In February, Zendaya fueled rumors when she was photographed in Beverly Hills wearing a plain gold band on her ring finger. But questions about whether the pair were engaged — or already married — stretch back even further.
At the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, the 29-year-old actress debuted a sparkling diamond ring on her left hand, immediately setting off engagement buzz. A few months later, Holland appeared to add fuel to the fire during a panel discussion. When an off-camera journalist referred to Zendaya as his “girlfriend” while mentioning his future daughter, Holland quickly interjected with a grin: “Fiancée.”
The couple’s love story dates back to 2016, when they were cast opposite each other in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Rumors swirled almost instantly, with insiders suggesting the two grew close while navigating the whirlwind of rising fame together.
In 2017, reports claimed they vacationed together, though both publicly brushed off the speculation. Zendaya even joked on Twitter that if a trip had happened, she must not have received the invite. Still, their undeniable chemistry during press tours — from playful social media exchanges to affectionate birthday messages — kept fans guessing.
For years, they maintained they were simply friends, despite being spotted at family gatherings and casual outings. That narrative shifted in July 2021 when paparazzi photos captured them kissing inside a car in Los Angeles, seemingly confirming their romance.
Not long after, Holland made their relationship Instagram official with a birthday tribute, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo from set and writing, “My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays.”
Since then, the pair have offered glimpses of their relationship while remaining largely private. They’ve attended friends’ weddings together, been photographed holding hands in cities like New York and London, and supported each other at major premieres. Holland has accompanied Zendaya to events for Dune and Challengers, often skipping red carpets to keep the focus on her.
The couple reportedly divide their time between Holland’s home in Richmond, southwest London, and Zendaya’s residence in California.
Both have spoken candidly about balancing love with life in the public eye. Holland has described their relationship as “sacred,” while Zendaya has emphasized the importance of protecting what they can. As she previously explained, while some aspects of privacy inevitably slip out of their control, the parts that remain theirs are guarded closely.
Professionally, their paths continue to intertwine. The duo are set to appear in The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, slated for release on July 17. They will also reunite on screen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled to hit theaters July 31.
Whether Roach’s claim confirms a secret ceremony or simply adds another layer to the mystery, one thing remains clear: Zendaya and Holland have mastered the art of keeping the world guessing.
