Roach, who is well known for his close ties to Zendaya, was initially the first to suggest back in March 2026 that the couple had secretly wed. However, during the Emmy pre-show, he clarified the situation, stating, “Well, I actually lied, she wasn’t married. They actually haven’t had an official ceremony yet. It’s gonna happen after the Dune press tour.” His remarks lead to further questions about whether he was teasing the assembled reporters, as Holland had seemingly confirmed the couple’s marriage during a previous interview.
The stylist reiterated, “No, the wedding hasn’t happened. Not yet,” when pressed for clarification, emphasizing that any previous statements may not have been entirely truthful. In jest, Roach mentioned he “could” again be misleading media outlets, showcasing his penchant for playful ambiguity regarding the private lives of the couple.
In recent interviews, Holland has frequently referred to Zendaya as “my wife,” leading to rampant speculation about their marital status. This summer, Holland discussed the couple amidst the backdrop of AI-generated images claiming to depict their wedding. A particularly striking moment came when a family member mistakenly assumed they had missed the ceremony, to which Holland countered, “No, because they were all there,” hinting at the private nature of their gathering.
Adding to the murmurings of their romantic commitment, Zendaya was seen wearing a wedding band at the 2026 Oscars, which she has continued to display on various red carpets throughout the summer. Furthering the intrigue, a source disclosed to PEOPLE that Holland and Zendaya held a private wedding reception in Surrey, UK, on 4 August, amplifying notions that they may have exchanged vows before the official celebration.
During the Emmy red carpet event, Roach also dismissed AI-generated images that purportedly depicted the couple’s wedding attire. “The AI images were totally fake, for sure,” he stated, adding that the supposed wedding dress was “ugly” and not something he would have chosen for Zendaya. When asked if he envisioned styling her for a potential wedding, Roach enthusiastically confirmed, “Of course.”
Historically, Roach has taken a playful yet misleading approach when discussing Zendaya and Holland’s relationship, previously hinting at clandestine ceremonies only to backtrack moments later. For instance, at the premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in July, he claimed they had eloped and “got away with it,” only to later clarify that they would indeed have another celebration.
As for the actors, they have been busy in 2026, starring together in highly acclaimed films including The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, both released in July. Zendaya is also garnering attention for her role in the third season of Euphoria, where she has received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys.
As the couple’s journey continues to unfold amidst public fascination, Roach’s comments may signal an upcoming occasion that fans are eagerly awaiting. The charm and persona of Zendaya and Holland remain a topic of delight across social media and celebrity circles, as the world watches to see how their story develops following the Dune press tour.
