Zendaya and Tom Holland breakup rumor debunked

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

The post itself claims to report on a "viral post" and frames it as a rumor ("💔🚨 BREAKING... RUMORS EXPLODE"). In reality, Zendaya and Tom Holland are still together — breakup rumors from late 2023/early 2024 (when Zendaya unfollowed everyone on Instagram) were explicitly denied by Holland, and the couple has been seen together publicly since, including holding hands after the Dune: Part Two premiere in February 2024. There is no evidence of any kissing photo between Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet causing a breakup.

What the hosts said

LA fan account on X is screaming BREAKING, claiming Tom Holland and Zendaya are over.
CThe reason given: a kissing photo with Timothée Chalamet at a Dune red carpet.
LThat's the claim. Plus Tom allegedly posted a heartbreaking Instagram Story and unfollowed her.
CAllegedly, from a viral post, reported by an account that wrote it in capital letters. Great sourcing.
CHere's what's actually true. There's no evidence of any kissing photo.
CAnd the old breakup rumors? Tom's side denied them. They held hands leaving the Dune: Part Two premiere.
LOkay, but I get why it spreads. Two famous people, a third famous person, a red carpet. It writes itself.
CIt writes itself because the same rumor gets recycled every six months.
LCome on, it's harmless. Nobody's life changes because a fan account got dramatic.
CTell that to the two people in the post. Nobody asked them, and nobody checked.
LFine. The skull emoji and the siren don't make it news.
CThank you. Next time, lead with the denial.
LDifferent red carpet, much sweeter. One fan on X was reading comments from viewers who never watched a certain dating show.
LThe two stars walked the carpet hand in hand, and those viewers asked, why are they holding hands? Which celebrity brings their partner to an event?
CWhich celebrity brings their partner? Almost every one of them, Laura.
LThat's the joke. If you watched the show, you know why they're holding hands.
CFair, but I'll push back a little. A couple walking in together isn't a mystery.
LIt is if you're coming in cold! You see two strangers holding hands and no backstory.
COr you see two people holding hands. Sometimes that's the whole story.
LYou have no sense of drama this morning.
CI have plenty. I just save it for the facts.
LLast one, and this is a claim, not confirmed. TNP News on X is posting from what it says is the Los Angeles world premiere of Ramayana.
LIt says Ranbir Kapoor arrived on the red carpet, and it says Jada Pinkett Smith was there too.
CNo official confirmation on either appearance yet, so I'll hold that loosely.
CBut if it's true, a Bollywood epic getting a Hollywood red carpet is a real moment.
LThat's the part I love. The caption literally says, 'Lord Ram has reached Hollywood.'
CBold caption. The Jada angle feels like the account chasing a famous name.
LMaybe. But a big Indian epic pulling Hollywood attention isn't a gimmick.
CAgreed. Let's see the reviews before we crown anything.
