After a TikTok user produced a bogus video of a sonogram being shared on the star’s Instagram account, claiming that Zendaya is having her first child with boyfriend Tom Holland, Zendaya has been trending on social media once more.
The saga began when @ryan.roberts posted a TikTok video of the 25-year-old actor’s Instagram account, in which he published a happy ultrasound pregnancy post. The caption for the retouched photograph is as follows:
“I’m in love with you. @tomholland2013 is halfway there.”
The TikTok video then moved on to the following slide, which included a video of Kris Jenner dancing and the message “You just got Krissed.” #Kris your friends by sending this to them.”
Twitter didn’t waste any time capitalizing on Zendaya’s phoney viral video.
Zendaya became a Twitter trend after her viral pregnancy video went viral, and Twitterati wasted no time in making memes out of the scenario.

Zendaya’s pregnancy has been rumored in the past
The actress is not expecting a child and is now working on professional ventures. However, this isn’t the first time that rumours about Zendaya having a child have circulated online.
In January 2022, a photo of the 25-year-old actress that had been altered to show her with a baby bulge during a red-carpet event went viral. The rumors were debunked, and neither the Dune actress nor her actor boyfriend Tom Holland responded to them.
In a December 2021 interview with People magazine, Tom Holland, on the other hand, revealed his wish to become a dad.
“I like children. I can’t wait to be a father — I can and will wait, but I won’t be able to! When I go to a wedding or a party, I always sit at the children’s table. For me, my father has always been an excellent role model. That’s something I think I learned from him.”

During the filming of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, the Good Luck Charlie actress and Tom Holland began dating.
The couple kept their romance a secret until July 2021, when they were seen kissing while sitting in their parked automobile. They’ve made a number of public appearances since then.
On the professional front, Zendaya will next participate in Challengers and Dune: Part Two, following her role as Rue Bennett in HBO’s drama series Euphoria.
