Don't panic folks, but Zendaya has unfollowed Tom Holland on Instagram.
The Spider-Man stars have long been friends, and sparked up a romance in 2021 following campaigning from Marvel fans.
The two actors largely keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but share the odd gushy Instagram post about each other - usually on each other's birthdays.
Back in September, Zendaya caused a frenzy online after fans believed she posted a snap of her wearing an engagement ring; but she was quick to debunk the rumors, pointing out that the ring was on her right hand (not her left).
She said at the time: "I posted [the picture] for my hat… Like, not for the ring on my right finger, you guys. Seriously, you think that's how I would drop the deuce? Like, what?!"

Fast forward four months and Zendaya has unfollowed her beau Tom on Instagram, sparking fears that they may have called time on their relationship - the start to 2024 that no one wanted.
The Euphoria favorite boasts a whopping 184 million followers on the social media outlet and now follows no one back.
People have taken to X to share their worries that Zendaya and Tom have broken up.

Someone said: "Whyyyy did Zendaya remove Tom from Instagram???? Mama miaaaa don't let it be..."
"Break up news is coming I fear," a second added.
"For the glory of my mother! Don't scare me like that," a third went on to say of the prospect of the pair splitting up.
But many others have noted that Zendaya's Instagram purge is likely to be linked to her two new upcoming movies and wanting to her make her account more for promotional purposes.

She has both Dune: Part Two and The Challengers coming out in the coming months.
"I assume like most major celebs, she has a finsta and has simply decided to turn this account into strictly business/fashion/PR," someone suggested on Reddit.
Another added: "I’m pretty convinced that celebrities’ verified accounts are mostly for publicity, including the types of posts they make and who they follow/don’t follow, and that they have secret personal accounts for everything else!"

A different person went on: "I don't think that's why she unfollowed everyone. Z hasn't been on IG for months. I think she's only keeping the account for work purposes."
UNILAD has contacted Zendaya's representatives for comment.
