With a great rumor comes great speculation, and Zendaya and fiancé Tom Holland made their first red carpet appearance Monday amid recent chatter they’d already tied the knot.

Holland, 30, had an arm around the waist of his 29-year-old “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” co-star Monday as the couple posed in Madrid to promote their fourth Spidey venture, per multiple outlets. In the film, out July 31, the pair is reprising their respective roles as the titular Queens neighborhood hero and love interest MJ.

The appearance also comes on the heels of Zendaya concluding her Emmy-winning turn as Rue Bennett in HBO’s “Euphoria,” which took its final bow at the end of May.

After years of denying speculation they were more than just friends and “Spider-Man” co-stars, Zendaya and Holland confirmed in 2021 that they were an item.

The “Dune” star and Holland — also co-starring in Christopher Nolan’s star-studded “The Odyssey,” out July 17 — revealed their engagement in January 2025, when she posed at the Golden Globes with a diamond on her left ring finger.

Zendaya’s longtime stylist and pal Law Roach made waves in March of this year, when telling Access Hollywood, “The wedding has already happened, you missed it,” before chuckling. Roach then told Entertainment Tonight the remark was “very true.”

It was unclear at the time whether fans should put much stock in what Roach was saying, given Zendaya was also in the midst of promoting A24’s wedding-centric “The Drama,” opposite “Odyssey” and “Dune” co-star Rob Pattinson.

Zendaya’s mom Claire Stoermer then reportedly shared footage of Roach’s viral moment in an Instagram Story, writing, “The laugh…,” which she capped off with a laughing emoji. That vague move also seemed to bolster what Roach had said.

Zendaya shortly thereafter brushed off the rumors during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” when she giggled, “Really? I haven’t seen any of that.”

She also said “many people have been fooled by” what Kimmel said were “AI wedding photos” of her and Holland.

LOS ANGELES — Tyra Banks has filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix and the directors of its docuseries “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” alleging that the producers stripped down hours of interview footage to construct a false narrative.

In the lawsuit filed Saturday in Los Angeles federal court, the model who created and hosted “America’s Next Top Model” said she was interviewed for 3½ hours, during which she took responsibility for some of the show’s controversial decisions. Those interviews were edited down to 16 minutes and manipulated “to support a false and defamatory narrative unrelated to what she actually expressed,” the lawsuit said.

“The accountability Ms. Banks took ended up on the cutting room floor. It was there, but viewers were never given the opportunity to see it,” her lawyers wrote.

Banks is seeking damages in her lawsuit against Netflix, the directors Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy and EverWonder Studio. She’s also seeking an injunction barring the use of her image in connection with the docuseries’ soundtrack, released as an album.

Emails seeking comments were sent Sunday to the defendants’ representatives.

“America's Next Top Model” launched in 2003 and ran for 24 seasons. In recent years, the reality competition series has undergone a critical reevaluation over accusations of body shaming, manipulation of contestants and problematic photoshoots. Banks has previously addressed those criticisms, acknowledging “the insensitivity of past ANTM moments” and “some really off choices.”

The lawsuit contends that the producers of the Netflix docuseries used “selective editing, deliberate omission, and surgical manipulation of continuous footage” to formulate a narrative that Banks allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted on the show, used the contestant’s trauma to drum up ratings and then couldn’t remember it when asked during the interviews.

“Defendants edited the Netflix Series to make it appear that Ms. Banks knew she was being asked about a sexual assault and was intentionally trying to evade the topic,” the lawsuit stated, contending that Banks hadn’t been told — or asked — about the assault during the interview.

Banks’ lawyers wrote that she wasn't permitted to review the docuseries until a day before its Feb. 16 release. According to the lawsuit, she had not been contacted for fact-checking after her interviews, and was not given an opportunity to respond to accusations from other participants. Other judges from the show, including one her lawyers contend holds a grudge against Banks, consulted on the docuseries.

“Had Ms. Banks known these individuals were so deeply involved in the formulation of the Netflix Series, also serving as consultants shaping the editorial direction, and that she had been excluded from such a role, it would have raised a red flag,” the lawsuit read. “She would have known she was being set up. She would not have participated.”

Banks’ lawyers reached out to Netflix in March to request access to the full footage of her interviews. Netflix and EverWonder denied that request, according to the lawsuit. Since the docuseries’s release, public reaction has been “swift, harsh, and directed squarely at Ms. Banks” — even SMiZE & DREAM, her ice cream shop in Sydney, Australia, has been subject to review bombing on Google, the lawsuit read.

The Associated Press sent an email seeking further detail from Banks’ lawyers and representatives on Sunday.

“Every other conversation about ANTM’s legacy — including the candid reflection Ms. Banks came prepared to have — is now drowned out by an accusation she was never given the chance to answer,” her lawyers wrote. “This lawsuit is that answer — particularly after her efforts to resolve the matter directly with Netflix and the producers were refused.”

Former Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the United States’ World Cup opener against Paraguay on Friday at Inglewood, Calif., rather than his own nation’s game vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto.

Trudeau said he made the decision because his girlfriend, Katy Perry, performed in the pregame show before the match at SoFi Stadium.

“Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call. But you know who I’m rooting for to take the Cup,” he wrote on X on Saturday.

Trudeau was Canada’s prime minister from 2015 to 2025.

Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are co-hosting this year’s World Cup. Canada tied 1-1 in a game that started at 3 p.m. EDT and the U.S. beat Paraguay 4-1 in a match that began six hours later.
