Pregnancy rumor began on TikTok, as part of a viral trend known as “Krissed.” This prank involves creating false claims about celebrities to bait viewers into watching a humorous clip of Kris Jenner dancing to Lady Marmalade. The video in question featured a fabricated Instagram post, supposedly from Zendaya, showcasing an ultrasound image. The overlay implied that Zendaya was announcing her pregnancy.
However, a simple check of Zendaya’s actual Instagram profile quickly debunked the claim. No such post existed. The TikTok prank concluded with the tell-tale clip of Kris Jenner, signaling to viewers that they had been “Krissed.”
Despite its comedic intent, the prank spiraled out of control, with many viewers taking the claim at face value. The hashtag “#krissed” now has over 11,000 associated videos, and this particular post became a breeding ground for misinformation.
As the TikTok gained traction, the rumor quickly spread to Twitter, where the phrase “Zendaya pregnant” began trending. While some users recognized the hoax for what it was, many others expressed genuine shock or confusion. Posts tagged with “#ZendayaPregnant” garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets, further amplifying the baseless claim.
Fans who were aware of the prank urged others not to believe the rumor, emphasizing the importance of fact-checking before jumping to conclusions. Still, the situation serves as a stark reminder of how quickly misinformation can spread in the digital age, especially when it involves a high-profile celebrity.
Zendaya’s personal life has often been the subject of public curiosity, particularly her relationship with fellow Spider-Man star Tom Holland. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, the couple has frequently found themselves at the center of rumors.
Last year, Holland spoke about his dreams of starting a family in an interview with People, saying, “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!” While the comment was heartfelt, it likely fueled the fire of recent rumors about Zendaya’s pregnancy.
In February, the couple faced another wave of speculation when reports falsely claimed they had purchased a home together in London. Holland promptly denied the claims, illustrating the couple’s ongoing battle with misinformation.
The duo’s relationship became public knowledge after they were photographed kissing in a car, a moment both actors described as a violation of their privacy. In a GQ interview, Holland reflected, “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.”
