Don’t feel bad if you fell for Zendaya and Tom Holland’s AI wedding photos.
The 29-year-old The Drama star admitted that “many” of her loved ones also thought the images that circulated online were the real deal.
“Many people have been fooled by them,” Zendaya shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, March 16. “I was just out and about in real life and people were like, ‘Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous.’ And I’m like, ‘Babe, they’re AI. They’re not real.’ ”
“Was anyone in your life fooled by them? And mad that they weren't invited?” Kimmel, 58, asked. “Yes, many people,” Zendaya replied.

Zendaya has yet to officially confirm whether she and her longtime love, Holland, have tied the knot. The rumors started when the actress’ longtime stylist Law Roach claimed the couple were already married during an appearance at the 2026 Actor Awards on March 1.
Since that time, Zendaya has been spotted sporting a gold band on her wedding finger alongside her engagement ring from Holland, 29. Zendaya was wearing the band during her appearance on Kimmel.

During her time on the late night show, Zendaya also had some fun with the wedding rumors, sharing a video to “clear the confusion” from her wedding-related film, The Drama, and superimposing Holland’s head over that of her costar, Robert Pattinson.
PEOPLE previously reached out to reps for Zendaya and Tom regarding the rumored wedding.

The couple were first romantically linked in 2016 after being cast as love interests in Spider-Man. After Zendaya was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger at the 2025 Golden Globes, PEOPLE confirmed that the Euphoria star was engaged.
