Zendaya and Tom Holland, one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, surprised fans by skipping this year’s Golden Globes after being frequent standouts on past red carpets. Their absence didn’t go unnoticed, especially since Zendaya made headlines at last year’s ceremony when she subtly debuted her engagement ring from Holland. This time, however, there was no dramatic reveal—just questions.
Despite the online chatter, their decision appears to be more practical than personal. Neither star was nominated this year, and both are juggling packed schedules filled with major upcoming projects. With their professional focus elsewhere, there was little incentive to make a high-profile appearance. Industry watchers expect the pair to return to awards season once their new work is back in the spotlight.
Still, Zendaya’s recent low profile has fueled a fresh wave of speculation. A single holiday photo shared online—showing her with Holland and his family—was enough to spark pregnancy rumors across social media. In the image, the Euphoria star wears a loose black dress and carries a large handbag positioned in front of her midsection, a styling choice that quickly became the centerpiece of intense fan theories.
The speculation, however, appears to be just that. There is no confirmed evidence that Zendaya and Holland are expecting a baby, and even wedding plans aren’t moving forward just yet. Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, recently shut down the idea of imminent nuptials, explaining that planning hasn’t even begun. With Zendaya balancing multiple film commitments, including the next chapter in the Dune franchise, there’s no rush to walk down the aisle.
Roach described the couple’s relationship as a genuine love story unfolding naturally, while Holland has previously shared why they often attend events separately. In interviews, he’s explained that he prefers to let Zendaya shine on her own during major career moments, noting that appearing together can sometimes shift the focus away from her achievements.
Even when they step back from the spotlight, fans remain captivated. A resurfaced clip from a 2023 event in Mumbai recently went viral, capturing Holland’s visibly emotional reaction as Zendaya arrived in a striking, Indian-inspired outfit. His reaction—a mix of awe and pride—quickly melted hearts online. Although they posed separately at the event, they were later seen leaving the city together, reinforcing their preference for privacy amid public fascination.
For now, Zendaya and Holland seem comfortable sticking to their approach: keeping their professional lives front and center while sharing personal moments on their own terms. It’s a balance that continues to intrigue fans, even when it means skipped red carpets and nonstop speculation.
