Zendaya appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday and tackled the strange internet episode where AI-created wedding photos of her and Tom Holland went viral. The buzz followed comments from her stylist, Law Roach, earlier this month suggesting the pair had tied the knot.

What she said on Kimmel

When Jimmy Kimmel brought up the marriage rumors, Zendaya replied with a dry laugh, "Really?! I haven't seen any of that!" She did not confirm any wedding, though an engagement ring and wedding band were visible on her left hand during the interview.

AI photos, real confusion

Zendaya said the AI images fooled a surprising number of people. "Many people have been fooled by them," she said, adding that people stopped her in public to praise her "wedding photos" until she explained, "They're AI. They're not real!"

She also joked that friends and acquaintances were annoyed they did not receive invites. To underline the point, Zendaya shared a playful clip that was presented as a fake wedding video. The clip was actually from her new film The Drama, with a photo of Tom Holland's face placed over co-star Robert Pattinson's.

Zendaya teased the clip as "a little something to just clear the confusion," delivered with a cheeky grin.

Spider-Man and Brand New Day

Kimmel also asked about the upcoming Spider-Man movie titled Brand New Day, which is set to open on July 31. Zendaya said she has seen "a good amount" of the film and that she feels positive about it. She described the project as an important chapter in the story they have been telling and called it a privilege to be part of those films.

She praised Holland's dedication to the role, and when Kimmel dubbed him the "best Spider-Man ever," Zendaya blushed and admitted, "I'm biased, but yes!"
