Tom Holland and Zendaya, two of Hollywood’s most beloved young stars, have once again found themselves in the center of a media storm, this time fueled by a flurry of online speculation about Zendaya’s possible pregnancy. The couple, who first met on the set of Spider-Man in 2016 and confirmed their relationship in 2021, have become experts at balancing their intensely public careers with a fiercely guarded private life. But as of late December 2025, a series of subtle clues and social media whispers have fans and tabloids alike buzzing with questions about what’s next for the pair.
The latest round of speculation reached fever pitch following a family outing in London on Sunday, December 21. Tom Holland and Zendaya were photographed looking relaxed and happy alongside Tom’s parents, Dominic and Nikki, at The Traitors: Live Experience. The image, posted to Instagram by Tom’s brother Sam, showed the quartet beaming—seemingly just another joyful family moment. According to AOL, the couple appeared "all smiles" during the outing, with the photo quickly making the rounds on social media and sparking even more conversation about their relationship status.
But it wasn’t just the family photo that set tongues wagging. As reported by BollywoodShaadis, fans have identified six "undeniable key clues" that have convinced many that Zendaya might be expecting. The first, and perhaps most discussed, is her sudden shift in fashion choices. Known for her bold, high-fashion outfits, Zendaya has recently been spotted in noticeably baggier clothing, including long tops and jeans during her London stay. This sartorial switch has led online sleuths to wonder if she’s strategically concealing a baby bump.
Adding fuel to the fire, Tom Holland’s demeanor during recent public outings has also changed, according to observers. The actor has been seen displaying what fans describe as a "protective energy" around Zendaya. While it’s not unusual for couples to look out for one another, Holland’s attentive behavior has become a talking point among those convinced there’s more to the story.
Another clue, as highlighted by BollywoodShaadis, is the couple’s apparent increase in family time. The London outing with Tom’s parents is just the latest example, and fans have interpreted these moments as possible signs that the couple is preparing for a major life change. The speculation doesn’t stop there. Zendaya’s recent silence on social media—a platform where she’s typically active and engaging—has only deepened the mystery. Her posts have mostly consisted of throwback snaps rather than current updates, leading some to believe she’s preoccupied with personal matters.
Perhaps even more telling is Zendaya’s absence from the 2025 awards season. The actress, who is usually a fixture at high-profile events and red carpets, has gone noticeably low-key, skipping several major parties and ceremonies. For fans and media alike, this sudden retreat from the public eye is yet another piece of the puzzle.
And then there’s the so-called "glow." In recent photos, Zendaya appears radiant—something fans have taken as a classic sign of pregnancy. Of course, a healthy glow can be attributed to any number of factors, but in the context of the other clues, it’s been enough to keep the rumor mill churning.
Despite the mounting speculation, neither Zendaya nor Tom Holland has publicly addressed the pregnancy rumors. This silence is nothing new for the couple, who have consistently prioritized their privacy. In fact, as BollywoodShaadis points out, this isn’t the first time Zendaya has faced such rumors. Back in 2022, similar speculation made the rounds on social media, prompting Zendaya to shut it down swiftly. She explained on her social channels that unfounded rumors were part of the reason she avoided certain platforms, saying, "the very reason she doesn't use X (Twitter) is these meaningless speculations."
Tom Holland, for his part, has also commented—albeit indirectly—on the possibility of parenthood. In an interview with Men’s Health Magazine, Holland revealed, "If I become a dad, I will just go MIA and no one will be able to see me anywhere," suggesting that when the time comes, he intends to be fully committed to family life. While this isn’t a confirmation of any current developments, it’s clear that both Holland and Zendaya value their privacy and intend to keep any major life changes as personal as possible.
It’s worth noting that the couple’s approach to fame and speculation has always been measured. Since confirming their relationship in 2021, they’ve rarely shared personal details, preferring instead to let their work and occasional public appearances speak for themselves. Their engagement, reportedly announced earlier in 2025, was met with excitement but also with the same careful discretion that has come to define their partnership.
Yet, in today’s hyper-connected world, even the most private celebrities can find themselves at the center of a public guessing game. The combination of Zendaya’s wardrobe choices, Holland’s attentive behavior, increased family time, social media silence, absence from public events, and that much-discussed glow has proven irresistible to fans and gossip sites alike. As BollywoodShaadis puts it, "these undeniable major clues are keeping people waiting to see if there’s any truth to the actress's pregnancy buzz."
For now, the couple remains tight-lipped, leaving fans to speculate and analyze every new photo and public appearance. Their ability to maintain a sense of normalcy and joy amid the constant attention is, in itself, a testament to their bond. Whether or not the rumors hold any truth, one thing is clear: Tom Holland and Zendaya continue to captivate audiences, not just with their on-screen chemistry, but with the genuine affection and mutual respect they display off-screen.
As the world waits for any official word, the couple’s loyal followers will no doubt keep a close eye on Instagram, red carpet events, and every subtle change in style or behavior. In the meantime, Holland and Zendaya seem content to enjoy each other’s company—and their family’s—away from the glare of the spotlight, at least for now.
