However, on Wednesday, the 25-year-old moved to Instagram to deny rumours that she was pregnant with Tom Holland’s child, claiming that people “making stuff up for no reason.”

She addressed her 145 million Instagram followers in an Instagram story: “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”

The phoney video began with a made-up ultrasound image with Zendaya’s edited profile pic and was released as part of a hoax called “being “Krissed.”

The fake caption on the post which was made to look like it was from the actress read: “I love you. Halfway there.”

Marisa Tomei even added a false comment to make it look more natural.

The end of the video showed Kris Jenner dancing to Lady Marmalade and the message read: “You Just get Krissed! Send this to your friends to #Kris them!”

Despite the fact that it was labelled as a joke, not everyone understood and began spreading the false information.

Rapper Lil Nas X was one of many who almost fell for the story.

The musician reacted hilariously, tweeting: “I hate twitter because I’m sitting here about to congratulate zendaya via dm about a baby that doesn’t exist.”

Another fan made the assumption that Zendaya often distances herself from social media due to rumours like this. They wrote: “Zendaya is NOT pregnant and THIS is why she don’t talk to us!”

A third tweeted a pic of Homer Simpson cosy in bed and wrote: “The person who said Zendaya pregnant to get Twitter in a frenzy rn.”

The hoax came about just weeks after Zendaya went official in her relationship with Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland.
