On Friday, the 27-year-old Marvel star was spotted by TMZ while out with his brother in Los Angeles, where he quickly shut down the recent speculation that he and Zendaya had called it quits.

"No, no, no, no, absolutely not," Tom told the photographer.

The split speculation had been sparked by the 27-year-old Euphoria actor's decision to unfollow everyone on Instagram – including Tom – earlier this month.

Though some fans feared this meant that there was trouble for the couple, it looks like it was just a move for a clean slate after all.

Zendaya is far from alone in wiping for her following list, as many of today's biggest stars, including Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, have opted not to follow anyone, likely as a way to minimize any rumors if they did want to unfollow someone.

The false alarm had been further amplified by the fact that the pair had not been spotted together in a few months, but as it turned out, Tom and Zendaya had been doing just fine under the radar.

Are Zendaya and Tom Holland still together?

Insiders told TMZ that the couple, who have been together since 2021, spent New Year's Eve together – just two days before the Emmy winner's unfollowing spree.

On New Year's Day, Zendaya was active on Instagram as she revealed the official poster for her upcoming tennis rom-com, Challengers, seeming to set a more professional social media focus for 2024.

Tom has opted for a more career-oriented online presence as well, having previously stepped away from social media due its impact on his mental health.

Since then, he has kept his posts primarily focused on his new projects, professional collaborations, and charity work.
