Zendaya Poses alongside Her Fiance Tom Holland and His Parents in New Family Photo

A new photo of Zendaya with Tom Holland and his parents has sparked fan speculation, referencing her look, a possible ring switch, and the couple's famously private relationship.

Zendaya and Tom Holland have always kept their romance under wraps. But on Sunday, December 21, 2025, the famously private couple stepped out for a rare public appearance, and fans believe they may have let something huge slip.

From a suspiciously simple ring to a seemingly fuller face, observers are convinced something life-changing is underway. Could it be a baby? A hush-hush wedding? Or both?

Family Outing in London Sparks Online Uproar

The couple joined Tom's family for "The Traitors: Live Experience" in London, turning the interactive event into a full-blown family affair. Alongside Tom were his parents, Nikki and Dominic Holland, his brothers Sam, Harry, and Paddy, and his best friend Harrison Osterfield.

By the next day, Sam Holland posted a recap on Instagram. Among the snapshots was one that instantly set the internet ablaze: Zendaya shoulder-to-shoulder with Tom and his parents.

She wore a gray sweater and debuted a chic short bob, while Tom opted for a burgundy shirt and a light jacket. Sam captioned the image, "Had a great time at @thetraitorslive yesterday. You can't trust anyone when you enter the round table…not even family."

Fans Think They See the Signs

Comment sections quickly filled with breathless speculation. All eyes were on Zendaya's face and figure. "She looks super pregnant... Look at her face!! ❤️❤️❤️" one Instagram fan gushed.

Another claimed, "She's pregnant. Face is fuller and always hiding that belly." A third added, "Yup she looks pregnant. You can see the full face."

The theory that Zendaya is expecting gained ground quickly, and fans weren't about to let go. On Facebook, one person wrote, "Her face is looking very full. Is Zendaya pregnant?"

Engagement Ring Gone, Wedding Band In?

It wasn't just her face that set tongues wagging. Observant fans zeroed in on a detail far more symbolic: her left hand. Where her giant engagement ring once dazzled, a different piece of jewelry now sat. And that's when whispers turned into roars.

"Did they get married already? She has a band on rather than her engagement ring," one Redditor wrote. A Facebook commenter agreed, "That's not an engagement ring that's a wedding band."

The moment Zendaya swapped rings may have been subtle, but the implications were anything but.

Fans Spot Tom's Family Resemblance

While much of the focus was on Zendaya, others turned their attention to Tom and how closely he resembles his parents.

"I think he looks like a copy and paste of his mom for the most part. He does have his dad's smile though," one Redditor noted. "Mom's face and Dad's teeth!" observed another.

A Facebook fan commented, "Tom looks a lot more like his mother than his father." It was a light-hearted aside in a comment section otherwise ablaze with bigger questions.

'They Won't Rush a Wedding' – Or Did They Already?

Earlier this year, Zendaya debuted her massive engagement ring at the Golden Globes in January 2025. Later, their engagement was confirmed.

TMZ revealed that Tom proposed sometime between Christmas and New Year's 2024 at one of Zendaya's family homes in the United States. No one else was present.

A source later told People there was no rush to the altar. "He's always been crazy about her. He always knew she was the one. They have something very special," the insider said.

"They will just enjoy things for now and won't rush a wedding," the source added. "They are both busy with work projects."

But This Isn't the First Time Fans Have Jumped to Conclusions

While the family photo sparked new waves of speculation, it wasn't the first time Zendaya's face, styling, or silhouette triggered headlines. In fact, just over a year ago, a red carpet appearance in New York caused a near-identical online eruption.

On September 21, 2024, Zendaya attended a For Your Consideration screening of "Dune: Part Two" in New York City. While her red carpet appearances always command attention, this one became an instant lightning rod for online rumors.

Zendaya stepped out in a bold emerald green Louis Vuitton minidress with off-the-shoulder detailing and a voluminous bubble hemline. Paired with black satin pumps, the playful silhouette struck a fashion-forward note, yet fans zeroed in on something else entirely.

Fans Obsessed over Her Face and Sparked a Frenzy

Her hair was styled in soft lacquered waves, and while many praised the overall look, a single photo angle sparked mayhem. Some claimed her face looked puffier. Others insisted it was a classic pregnancy glow.

"She's gorgeous, but her face looks different as if she was pregnant [sic] 😮," one Instagram fan commented. Another follower agreed and replied, "That's what I was saying, she does look a little puffy in the face [sic]."

Other comments like "Zendaya pregnant ??👀 [sic]" and "Oh Zendaya is pregnant lol [sic]" quickly started circulating on X. Someone else added, "Streets saying Zendaya pregnant omg [sic]," while another commented, "Zendaya pregnant? I just fell to my knees [sic]."

"She looks amazing, but her face is very different, like a pregnant woman [sic] face," expressed another netizen.

The Second Look That Challenged the Rumors

Later that night, Zendaya changed into a sleek Burberry ensemble for a separate Q&A. The look was starkly different: a white high-neck jacket and a sheer maxi skirt with a thigh-high slit. Her hair was slicked back, and she wore coral blush and a glossy lip.

The new outfit only fueled the debate. "If u thought Zendaya was pregnant bc of one poofy dress, I know the teacher used to hand u ur tests face down [sic]," one person quipped.

Fans Slam Pregnancy Rumors as Body Shaming

While speculation raged, others pushed back hard. "Making a comment about a woman's body is so gross," one fan posted.

"Even if Zendaya WAS pregnant, it's really none of y'all's business, and she'll reveal it when she wants to 😭. Can we stop jumping to conclusions and putting our whole focus on a woman's body [sic]?" another added.

Others echoed this sentiment, with one fan stating firmly, "Zendaya is NOT pregnant," while another tweeted, "Zendaya literally earlier today. She is not pregnant, and she has clearly expressed her discomfort with y'all assuming so and spreading rumors [sic]."

Zendaya's Style Evolution Keeps Fans Talking

The screening came months after the global "Dune" press tour in February 2024, and marked Zendaya's return to awards season buzz. Dressed to impress alongside Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, she once again stole the spotlight.

Zendaya has come a long way from her Disney Channel days. From blockbusters like "Spider-Man: Homecoming" to her fierce portrayal of Chani in "Dune," she has carved out her place at the top of Hollywood's A-list.

With stylist Law Roach by her side, she's delivered one red carpet hit after another, though not all her choices go unchallenged.

From Blonde Bombshell to Viral Backlash

As reported previously, Zendaya is also admired for the distinctive ways she has styled her hair over the years. She has often embraced natural textures, proudly showcasing her curls in various styles such as braids, combed-out afros, and playful fringes.

Yet, her versatility extends further; she's been seen rocking her hair in chic buns, elegant ponytails, and edgy pixie cuts, each style exuding its unique charm. When she had braids, her boyfriend, Tom Holland, couldn't keep his eyes off her.

But it doesn't stop there. Zendaya has also dabbled in the world of hair color, seamlessly transitioning from classic black and rich brunette to warmer shades of brown and even striking blonde hues. Her hair transformations often complement her dress style.

Her journey with hair has been an exploration of creativity and versatility. Zendaya's willingness to explore different colors not only showcases her adventurous spirit but also highlights her ability to reinvent herself with every new look.

One of the most memorable aspects of this self-expression has been her celebration of diversity and representation. She's been a vocal advocate for natural hair and has used her platform to challenge beauty standards, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness.

Additionally, Zendaya debuted blonde hair on the red carpet earlier this year during the "Challengers" press tour in Paris, France on April 6, 2024. Later, she wore it partly in a ponytail and half down in Rome, Italy on April 8, 2024. The actress looked splendid in a short dress, but online users focused on her blonde hair.

Most users criticized Zendaya for going blonde. "Original hair color much better on her," said one user. Another user admitted that Zendaya looked beautiful, but that the "hair color washes her out." "Beautiful- but she looks more so with dark hair," an individual concurred.

Other people commented, "She looks much better with dark hair." A user agreed, "The blonde washes her out. She would look nice with a copper/ auburn color." One user warned, "She is going to lose that beautiful hair if she keeps bleaching it."

"Why is Zendaya blonde 😭?," a frustrated user asked. A person with similar views noted, "Having blonde Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Zendaya all at once is overwhelming 🥵."

Some may not be fans of her bold choices, but Zendaya's ability to spark conversation and ignite trends is undeniable. That's why people are always drawn to her public appearances.
