After a viral TikTok started a rumour that Zendaya is pregnant with Tom Holland’s baby, the Euphoria star steps in to clarify.
After a TikTok co-opted the ‘Krissing’ trend, which is akin to ‘Rick Rolling’ but instead uses a clip of Kris Jenner dancing, to start a baseless rumour about Zendaya being pregnant, the Euphoria star has now stepped in to clarify. Zendaya took to her Instagram story to quickly dismiss the rumour before moving on with her day.
“See now, this is why I stay off Twitter…” Zendaya said. Adding, “Just making stuff up for no reason…weekly.”

The TikTok video then flicked to the next slide showing a video of Kris Jenner dancing with the caption, “You just got Krissed. Send this to your friends to #Kris them”.
‘You just got Krissed’ is a popular internet meme that, according to High Snobriety “uses blatantly false headlines to force behind-the-scenes footage from the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s 2012 Christmas card photo shoot down our gullets.”
In case you haven’t gathered yet, the viral ‘Zendaya is pregnant’ meme is a prank, and the actress is certainly not pregnant – not as far as the public knows, anyway.
Even though it’s quite clear that the TikTok video is a prank is, fans have flocked to Twitter to discuss Zendaya’s “pregnancy” and share their shock. #ZendayaPregnant is currently trending on the platform.
Despite the gullibility of the ~*internet*~ the memes that are coming from shocked fans who are convinced the actress is pregnant are, well, gold.
