Zendaya’s mother Claire Stoermer appears to have weighed in on rumors her daughter is engaged to Tom Holland after speculation swept social media on Wednesday.

The engagement buzz began following reports that Zendaya and Tom, both 26, were ready to ‘settle down’ but Claire has seemingly refuted the hearsay after posting a message about ‘clickbait’ to her Instagram Story on Wednesday.

‘Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content,’ the post began.

‘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.’

Zendaya and Tom caused a stir on social media on Wednesday after rumors they were ‘reportedly engaged’ began to circulate around the web.

The Twitter account Pop Hive posted a snap of the lovebirds along with the message, ‘Tom Holland and Zendaya are reportedly engaged!’

No further information about the alleged engagement appears to have been shared by the account, but that didn’t stop the post from receiving over 47K retweets and 552K ‘likes.’

The post did come a few days after Us Weekly reported the couple were in ‘settling down mode.’

An insider told the site the couple were ‘serious and permanent.’

‘They’re both in settling-down mode and are absolutely planning for a real future together,’ the source added.

The happy couple met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, but they weren’t connected as a couple until the summer of 2021.

Zendaya and Tom were first linked when they were seen sharing a few kisses inside a car last summer in July.

‘They’re both not one to make their relationship public,’ a source previously informed Us Weekly.

‘They’re private when it comes to dating, so any photos that have come out would’ve just been them going about their business and not knowing photographers were around.’

After crossing paths and working together on the latest Spider-Man franchise, both Zendaya and Tom became close friends before becoming romantically involved.

Despite their own busy schedules, the happy couple try to find time to be with each other. While Tom filmed scenes for The Crowded Room this year in New York City, Zendaya was pictured stopping by and visiting him on set.

Along with being seen together in the big apple, the actors were spotted having a blast during a trip to Budapest in late August during a short break from work.

The actress recently celebrated an Emmy Award win for her performance as Rue on the HBO Max series, Euphoria.

During an interview with E! News shortly after giving her heartfelt acceptance speech, the star was asked who the first person she texted was after she received the honor.

‘Well, I didn’t have to text my mom because my mom was already there, she’s here tonight, which is very special,’ she explained, adding, ‘And I texted my boyfriend.’
