Zendaya was once targeted in a pregnancy hoax

Zendaya and Tom Holland are the social media's favourite couple. But what happened when the internet turned into something that became less welcoming and more of a nuisance?

The slim beauty had one such experience when a disturbing rumour was spread last year that she was pregnant with the Spider-Man star's child.

A Tiktok video went viral when the 26-year-old ultrasound was edited to convey that she was pregnant.

The viral video made the the Emmy winner fans flood the internet with questions.

"Wait Zendaya is pregnant?" asked a curious fan, "I need to know who's y'all source is because why everybody on the [timeline] saying this."

"Zendaya PREGNANT?? I just fell to my knees in a walmart," another commented.

"See now; this is why I stay off Twitter," Zendaya at the time angrily reacted to the false rumours on her Instagram story.

"Just making stuff up for no reason…weekly," the Euphoria star said.

Meanwhile, recently, Holland expressed his closeness to his "girlfriend" in a podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.

"I'm lucky I have someone like Zendaya in my life. It's interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone who is in the same boat as you. You know, you can share you experiences and that sort of stuff, and that holds its weight in gold."
