Spiderman and MJ won’t be walking down the aisle anytime soon. After sending fans into a tailspin earlier this week by posting a simple photo of her outfit — which she appeared to accessorize with a large engagement band on her ring finger — Zendaya has shut down rumors that she and her longterm boyfriend/ Spider-Man: Homecoming costar Tom Holland are planning on getting hitched.
“I can’t post anything, you guys,” she said in a video shared to her Instagram Story Thursday (Sept. 21), according to E News. “You think that’s how I would drop the news?”
The Euphoria star also emphasized that the ring seen in her photo was actually placed on her right hand, not her left. “I posted it for my hat,” she said, through fits of laughter. “Not for the ring on my right finger, you guys, seriously.”
In the original photo, Z snaps a pic of her reflection on what looks to be the side of a glossy car window. Her face concealed by her phone and a pair of black sunglasses, the 27-year-old singer-actress dons a Golden State Warriors cap, a gray short-sleeve tee and a pearl ring on her selfie-taking hand.
Holland and Zendaya have been dating for at least two years, with the 27-year-old Marvel actor confessing in a June interview that the former Disney starlet used to be his childhood celebrity crush. He also gushed that he was “locked up… happy and in love” and joked that he’d won over his girlfriend by playing the “long game.” “Probably making a movie with each other, definitely helps when the characters you’re playing are falling in love with one another,” he added.
Later that month, Holland and Zendaya were spotted at Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour concert in Poland, and a video of the couple adorably singing along to “Love on Top” while looking into each other’s eyes went viral soon afterward.
