Tom Holland Hints at Zendaya Marriage with 'Odyssey' Joke

Tom Holland has once again fueled rumors of a secret wedding with Zendaya by making a witty remark during an interview with WIRED. The actor, who plays Telemachus in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film 'The Odyssey', responded to a question about whether Athena loved Odysseus by saying, 'No, because she's married to me.' The statement instantly set social media ablaze, as Zendaya portrays Athena in the film.

The interview also featured Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson, who star alongside Holland in the grand adaptation of the ancient Greek epic. When Tom delivered his line, Matt Damon approvingly exclaimed, 'Good answer.' The joke came across so naturally that many fans took it as an accidental confession.

Rumors about the couple's marriage have been circulating for a while. Back in January 2025, news of their engagement broke, and since then the couple has kept the public guessing: sometimes a ring on Zendaya's finger is spotted, sometimes hints are dropped in interviews. However, neither has ever officially confirmed anything.

Interestingly, Holland's joke works on two levels: in the film, his character is Odysseus's son, while Zendaya plays the goddess Athena, who in the original myth was not married. But in real life, the couple, who have been dating since 2021, constantly gives reasons to speculate that they have already tied the knot in secret.

Neither Tom nor Zendaya has commented directly on the situation, but every such hint sparks lively discussions online. Fans hope that the actors will soon officially announce their wedding, but for now they prefer to keep the suspense.

It's worth noting that Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' is one of the most anticipated films of the coming years. The cast also includes stars like Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and others. The premiere is scheduled for 2026.
