You've seen the headlines. Maybe you caught a blurry TikTok of them in London or noticed Zendaya rocking a massive rock on her finger at a red carpet event. Naturally, the internet does what it does best: it panics. Every time they aren't pictured together for more than a week, "Breakup" starts trending. But honestly? The reality of Tom Holland and Zendaya's relationship in 2026 is way more solid—and a lot more grown-up—than the gossip blogs suggest.
Basically, they aren't just dating. They're way past that stage.

If you missed the memo, they actually got engaged back in early 2025. Yeah, it’s been a year of "fiancé" talk instead of "boyfriend" talk. But because they treat their private life like a state secret, fans are constantly left wondering if things have soured.
The Current Status: Are They Still Together?
Yes. Absolutely. 100%.
As of January 2026, Tom Holland and Zendaya are still very much a couple. In fact, they’re currently navigating one of the busiest years of their lives. If you haven't seen them holding hands on a red carpet lately, it’s not because they’ve split; it’s because they’re working on about five different blockbusters simultaneously.
Just this month, rumors went into overdrive when they skipped the 2026 Golden Globes. People were convinced it meant trouble in paradise. But the truth is boring: they didn't have any nominated projects this cycle, and they've always been the type to stay home and walk the dogs rather than do a carpet just for the sake of it.
Why the "Breakup" Rumors Keep Happening
Social media is a bit of a nightmare for low-key couples. People track Zendaya’s Instagram follows like it’s their literal job. When she did a "social media reset" and unfollowed everyone (including Tom) to promote her projects, people lost their minds.
- Distance: Tom has been back and forth to London for family and upcoming film prep.
- Work Schedules: Zendaya has been deep in the trenches filming Euphoria Season 3 and her new rom-com The Drama.
- Privacy: They’ve both said, repeatedly, that they don't owe the world a play-by-play of their Sunday mornings.
Tom actually addressed this kind of thing a while back, calling his relationship "sacred." He’s the guy who will fly across the world just to spend 24 hours with her on a film set. He was recently spotted by Chloe Cherry on the Euphoria set, just hanging out and being supportive. That doesn't sound like a guy who's calling it quits.
The Engagement Ring That Started It All
Let’s talk about the ring.
Zendaya basically broke the internet when she debuted her engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globes. It’s an "East-West" cushion-cut diamond designed by Jessica McCormack. It’s unique, it’s classy, and it’s very them.
Tom’s father, Dominic Holland, even hinted that the proposal was a big family affair, planned around the 2024 Christmas holidays. They told their close friends around New Year’s, and then Zendaya let the ring do the talking. Since then, Tom has been caught correcting reporters who call her his "girlfriend." He’s very quick to drop the "fiancée" label now.
What’s Next for "Tomdaya" in 2026?
2026 is going to be a massive year for them professionally, which is probably why they aren't rushing to the altar. They both turn 30 this year—Tom in June and Zendaya in September.
They also have a literal mountain of movies coming out. We’re talking:
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day (The fourth installment we’ve all been waiting for).
- The Odyssey.
- The Drama (Zendaya’s project with Robert Pattinson).
- Tom’s mystery project with Christopher Nolan.
With a schedule like that, planning a wedding sounds like a logistical nightmare. Law Roach, Zendaya’s longtime stylist and friend, even joked that the "process hasn't even started" because they're just too busy being icons.
The Pregnancy Speculation
I have to mention this because it’s everywhere right now. Recently, photos of Zendaya in London wearing oversized winter coats sparked a wave of "is she pregnant?" theories.
Look, it was January in London. It was cold. She was wearing a coat.
There has been zero confirmation of a "Spider-Baby" on the way. While Tom has famously said he wants to "disappear off the face of the earth" and just be a "dad and golfer" when he has kids, there’s no evidence that is happening in 2026. They seem focused on their careers and enjoying being engaged for now.
How to Tell if They Are "Fine" Without Checking Headlines
If you’re ever worried about their status, don’t look at who Zendaya follows on Instagram. Instead, look for these two things:
- The "MJ" Birthday Post: Tom has a tradition of posting the most wholesome (and sometimes slightly chaotic) photos of Zendaya for her birthday. If September 1st rolls around and there's a tribute, they’re good.
- The London Sightings: They spend a lot of time in Richmond, London. If people are spotting them at grocery stores or walking their dogs, they’re still in their "private bubble."
Honestly, they are the blueprint for how to handle a high-profile romance. They show up for each other's premieres, they hype each other up on social media occasionally, but they keep the "sacred" stuff behind closed doors.

If you're looking for a "happily ever after," this is about as close as Hollywood gets. They are still together, they are engaged, and they are probably just trying to find a weekend where they aren't both on a movie set so they can actually hang out.
To stay updated without falling for clickbait, keep an eye on official trade publications like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter for film announcements, as their project schedules are the best indicator of where they'll be appearing next. If you see them listed as co-stars in Spider-Man 4, you can bet the chemistry is still very much alive.
Actionable Insight: Don't let social media "unfollows" or lack of red carpet photos convince you of a breakup. High-profile actors often use social media strictly for business. To see the truth, look for candid sightings in London or New York, which are far more indicative of their actual relationship status than a curated Instagram feed.
