Zendaya has been dominating the screen in recent years, from her award-winning performance in HBO's acclaimed series "Euphoria" to her roles in blockbuster films like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Dune." The actor got her start on screen as a teenager in the Disney sitcom "Shake It Up" and has since grown to be one of the most celebrated young actors of the last decade.
Throughout her journey, Zendaya has had an incredible support system, which in part is made up of her parents, Claire Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman. Though the two split up in 2016, they have not only remained friends, but they've also made it a priority to stand behind their daughter no matter what. They constantly share support for her; for example, in 2021, Stoermer posted an especially sweet birthday tribute for her daughter on Instagram. "greatest day of my life!" she wrote, recalling the day Zendaya was born.

Wedding bells are still not ringing for Zendaya and Tom Holland - at least not yet. On Sept. 21, Zendaya shared a selfie showing off her hat in a car window, but what fans took most notice of was the massive pearl ring on her hand, sparking another round of speculation that she and Holland are engaged.

Zendaya got wind of the speculation immediately and followed up her post with a now-deleted Instagram Story video to shut the latest rumors down. "I can't post anything you guys! I posted it for my hat!" she said, before pointing out that the ring wasn't even on the engagement finger (the fourth finger on the left hand). "Not for the ring on my right finger, you guys. Seriously, you think that's how I would drop the news?"

In a post on her Instagram Story, she posted a screenshot of an online dictionary definition of the term “clickbait.”
“Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content,” the definition reads. “It often relies on exaggerating claims or leaving out key information in order to encourage traffic. The term is generally used in a dismissive sense.”
Stoermer didn’t add anything more, but the cryptic post seemed to be in reference to the rumours about her daughter’s love life.
