Zendaya is once again at the center of the internet’s favorite guessing game — and this time, it all started with one seemingly innocent photo. A cozy holiday snapshot showing the actress with boyfriend Tom Holland and his parents has exploded across social media, fueling yet another round of pregnancy speculation that fans just can’t seem to let go of.
The image, which quickly went viral on X, Instagram, and TikTok, shows Zendaya bundled up in a loose winter jacket while carrying an oversized handbag. Within hours, fans began analyzing every detail — from the fit of her coat to the way she stood — claiming she might be hiding a baby bump. Others pointed to a “fuller face” in recent appearances as supposed “proof,” despite no confirmation from the couple or their reps.
As more photos of Zendaya and Holland surfaced during a family trip to Leicester, eagle-eyed followers doubled down, saying her continued choice of baggy outerwear looked “strategic.” Posts and side-by-side comparisons spread like wildfire, turning what was likely a simple fashion choice into headline fodder.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Zendaya’s been hit with pregnancy rumors. In fact, it’s become something of an annual internet ritual. From a fake TikTok ultrasound hoax in 2022 to fan overanalysis of her posture during filming last year, the actress has seen it all. She’s even addressed it directly before, joking on Instagram, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… just making stuff up weekly.”
Zendaya’s mom, Claire Stoermer, has also publicly shut down the speculation in the past, calling out fans for reading too much into her daughter’s wardrobe. As one supporter recently posted, “Just because she wore a long, thick winter jacket doesn’t mean she’s pregnant. Grow up.”
This latest round of rumors arrives as the actress debuts a short curly pixie cut — a bold new look that some fans have bizarrely tied to “life changes.” Others think it’s simply a style reset between major projects, including Dune 3, The Drama, and her upcoming reunion with Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
Neither Zendaya nor Holland has commented on the latest viral frenzy, and their reps have remained silent. Still, as with most things online, silence has only poured fuel on the fire — proving once again that when it comes to Zendaya, fans are always ready to play detective, whether there’s a mystery or not.
