Zendaya dominated online buzz from the 2026 Actor Awards despite not attending the ceremony or receiving nominations. Her longtime stylist, Law Roach, claimed during a red carpet interview with Access Hollywood that the actress and her partner, Tom Holland, have secretly married.

Roach stated, “The wedding has already happened,” adding, “You missed it,” and emphasized, “It’s very true.” He noted the couple's preference for privacy, saying there would not be a public wedding. Zendaya was absent from the event at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, which streamed live on Netflix on Sunday, March 1. Neither she nor Holland had eligible projects for the awards, now rebranded from the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the Actor Awards.

The revelation fueled speculation following months of rumors. Last month, Zendaya was spotted wearing a gold band on her left ring finger instead of her usual diamond engagement ring. Engagement whispers began at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards when she appeared with a large diamond ring. An insider previously confirmed Holland proposed privately between Christmas and New Year's Eve 2024, after gaining approval from Zendaya's parents.

Roach had addressed wedding plans in July 2025, indicating they were on hold due to Zendaya's busy schedule: “We have time,” he said. The couple, who met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming around 2016 and went public in 2021, has kept their relationship low-key.

Representatives for Zendaya and Holland did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Social media erupted with reactions to Roach's comments, overshadowing some winners from the 32nd annual ceremony voted on by SAG-AFTRA's over 160,000 members.

Among the highlights, Sinners claimed Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, with Michael B. Jordan winning Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role. The Studio swept comedy categories, including wins for Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara. Other recipients included Keri Russell for The Diplomat and Michelle Williams for Dying for Sex.

The Actor Awards presented 15 categories honoring film and television performances, maintaining its tradition since 1995 as an actor-voted event. Roach's bombshell provided an unexpected twist, keeping Zendaya in the spotlight amid awards season.
