Zendaya sidesteps Tom Holland wedding rumors: See the couple's relationship timeline

WATCH: Golden Globes 2025: Stars stun on the red carpet

Zendaya made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Oscars on Sunday night, just two weeks after her stylist claimed the actress and her longtime partner Tom Holland had tied the knot.

Zendaya presented the Oscar for best director at the Dolby Theatre alongside actor Robert Pattinson.

The "Euphoria" star wore a mocha-brown gown accented with diamond jewelry, including a diamond ring on her left ring finger.

On March 1, at the 2026 Actor Awards, Zendaya's famed celebrity stylist, Law Roach, seemingly broke news when he was asked on the red carpet about Zendaya and Holland's impending marriage.

"The wedding has already happened. You missed it," Roach said at the time, speaking with Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the awards ceremony.

"Is that true?" asked the reporter, to which Roach responded, "It's very true."

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Zendaya and Holland.

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on March 16, one day after the Oscars, Zendaya would neither confirm nor deny that the wedding had happened when Kimmel brought up the subject.

The couple's engagement was confirmed by People last year after Zendaya was photographed wearing a large diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globes.
