Tom Holland addressed fans’ worries about a potential breakup with girlfriend Zendaya by speaking out.
Speculation arose earlier this week when the actress unfollowed her Spider-Man co-star and boyfriend on Instagram.
Concerned fans quickly turned to social media to share their apprehensions about the actress unfollowing her co-star and boyfriend, with some expressing fears that it could indicate a potential breakup between the two stars.
A worried individual commented, “Why did Zendaya remove Tom from Instagram???? Mama miaaaa, don’t let it be…” Another person added, “I fear breakup news is coming,” while a third pleaded, “For the glory of my mother! Don’t scare me like that.”
Soon after, some observers pointed out that The Greatest Showman star, who commands an impressive 184 million followers on the social media platform, had actually unfollowed everyone on Instagram.

While there was speculation about the reason behind Zendaya’s Instagram purge, with some suggesting it could be linked to her upcoming film projects like Dune: Part Two and The Challengers, where she is slated to take on starring roles in the upcoming months, and that she might be using her platform primarily for promotional activities, others remained uncertain about the status of the couple’s relationship.
Luckily, Holland has now clarified the speculations.
In a recent interaction with a TMZ photographer, the Spider-Man actor was questioned about his relationship status, and he provided a clear and decisive response.

Zendaya and Holland, longtime friends, gained significant attention in 2021 as they appeared to publicly acknowledge their romantic involvement.
While maintaining a generally private relationship, the couple sporadically expresses their affection for each other through heartfelt Instagram posts, particularly on special occasions such as birthdays.
Indeed, speculation reached a fever pitch among fans in September when Zendaya shared a photo that sparked engagement rumors due to an apparent ring. Swiftly addressing the speculation in a video, she clarified that the ring adorned her right hand, not the left, playfully stating, “I posted [the picture] for my hat…”
“I mean, come on, not for the ring on my right finger, guys. Seriously, do you think that’s how I would drop such big news? Like, what?!”
