While she’s just “out and about in real life,” people have been stopping her and saying the ceremony looked “gorgeous,” Zendaya said on the show.
She joked that there were even “real people” who were “mad” at them for not getting an invite, and she was forced to clarify that they were “not real.”

In order to clear up the confusion, Zendaya said she brought a video with her on the show.

The video in question showed a scene from her movie The Drama, which originally showed Zendaya’s character tying the knot with her onscreen partner, played by Robert Pattinson.
Tom’s face was awkwardly pasted over Robert’s character as they posed for wedding snaps.
Having brutally trolled the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Audience, Zendaya continued to enjoy herself as she quipped, “That was real. I was there.”

It was at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards when Zendaya flashed a sparkling 5-carat diamond ring on her left hand and triggered speculation about being engaged.
News outlets confirmed her engagement to Tom the following day.
Rumors that the couple had possibly tied the knot circulated last month, when the Dune star stepped out in Beverly Hills with film producer Josh Lieberman.

Fans noticed that her previously worn diamond sparkler was replaced with a gold band.
The couple reportedly got matching tattoos in Massachusetts on November 27, 2024, just a few weeks before Holland popped the question.
Zendaya inked a tiny “t” flightly below her armpit, and Tom got a matching “z” on his ribcage.

Neither Zendaya nor Tom has given any concrete confirmation about the status of their relationship.
They have remained fiercely private about their personal life ever since their romance was confirmed in 2017.
During her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Zendaya spoke about her next Spider-Man film, Brand New Day, set to hit the big screen on July 31.
The couple had first met and sparked dating rumors on the first installment of the franchise, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

“I feel very good about it,” the actress said about the upcoming Spider-Man film.
“It’s such a huge part of our story, obviously, and we grew up making those films,” she continued. “And it’s such a privilege to be able to do them.”
She acknowledged that it was a role Tom cared about “so much about” and wanted to do “justice” to.
When Jimmy called Holland the “best Spider-Man ever,” the actress admitted she was “biased” but agreed with him.
Fans called Zendaya a “genius” for the way she handled the marriage rumors and simultaneously promoted The Drama, which releases on April 3.
“Keeping her wedding completely private while indirectly tying it into promo for her new film… yeah, she’s a genius,” one said.
“I guess that's how they'll actually keep their private life private,” one commented online
“Zendaya could not have timed that wedding more perfectly!” one quipped, while another said, “One of my top 3 favorite couples!! I love their love so much.”
“Why hide your marriage makes no sense,” one said.
“Better hope she doesn't divorce him. All assets in her name..wow,” a critic snarked.
Netizens had plenty to say after Zendaya’s recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
