Zendaya and Jacob Elordi "Kiss Video" Goes Viral

A blurry video allegedly showing Zendaya kissing her former Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi exploded across social media this weekend and within hours, the rumor mill added a second claim: that Tom Holland unfollowed Zendaya after seeing it. Here's the truth behind the viral chaos.

The Video Nobody Can Actually Identify Anyone In

Let's start with the so-called evidence. The clip circulating on X, TikTok, and Instagram is grainy, dark, and shot from a distance. The two people in it cannot be clearly identified as Zendaya and Elordi — not by fans, not by media outlets, and not by anyone with actual verification standards.

As Times Now reported on October 5, there is no credible evidence confirming the people in the footage are who the captions claim they are. The entire narrative rests on unverified social media speculation, not on confirmed reporting from any reputable outlet.

The Tom Holland "Unfollow" Claim Falls Apart Too

The second half of the rumor — that Tom Holland unfollowed Zendaya on Instagram in response — doesn't hold up either. Holland's Instagram activity shows no such unfollow. The claim appears to have been invented to give the story a dramatic second act, and it worked: "split rumours" started trending within hours.

This is how the modern rumor cycle works. A blurry clip plus an invented detail plus a famous couple equals millions of views before anyone asks for proof.

Why This Keeps Happening

Zendaya and Holland are one of the most private A-list couples in Hollywood, which paradoxically makes them the perfect target. They rarely post about each other, rarely address rumors, and that silence gets filled by speculation. Elordi, meanwhile, is coming off a massive year and his name alone drives engagement.

My take: the speed at which this spread says more about us than about them. A blurry video with zero verification got treated as breaking news because the alternative — waiting for facts — doesn't trend.

The Bottom Line

As of now: no verified kiss, no unfollow, no split. Just a blurry video and a lot of people who wanted it to be true. If anything changes with actual evidence, this story will be updated — that's more than the rumor accounts can say but if they do the kiss so whats the big deal kiss is not evidance of their relationship and in this era friends also casually kiss eachother.
