Is Zendaya and Tom Holland Together?

For five long years, speculation of a romance between Tom Holland and Zendaya has been circulating the web—and for five long years, they denied it. The duo certainly had their reasons:

As Holland told GQ in November 2021, they simply wanted to protect what they had. “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,” he explained. The actor continued, “We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

While he wouldn’t go into specifics, the Spider-Man: Homecoming star made it clear that the pair, who were spotted making out in LA, in July 2021, is deeply in love. “When you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own… I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”

Looking back, it’s easy to see that they were always falling for one another all along, right in front of our very eyes. Relive all their sweetest interactions below.

  • The pair was warned not to date after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming
  • Though they claimed to be just friends for years, many suspected there was something brewing under the surface
  • The twosome went public in 2021, when they were spotted kissing, confirming they were a couple
  • Holland has said that he’s ready to be a dad

20th April 2022 – Zendaya opens up about the sweet way Tom supports her

Just when we thought Zendaya and Tom Holland couldn’t be any more #relationshipgoals, the couple have pulled it out of the bag once again thanks to Zendaya’s latest comments about their romance. 

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Zendaya opened up about the ways Tom supports her as her boyfriend, and it’s all very sweet. 

Discussing her hit HBO series Euphoria, Zendaya was asked what it means to have somebody like Tom as a partner to help pull her out of the “dark moments” while playing her troubled character on the show, Rue.

The actress responded, “I think it’s great to have that support and love around you, because you need that.” She went on to add, “You, know, this isn’t an easy job, so it’s good to have that [support] to free you up from it every now and then.”

During the interview, Zendaya also finally addressed whether Tom was really an extra in an episode of Euphoria, after endless fan speculation claimed he was spotted in the audience of Lexi’s play. 

The 25-year-old casually responded, “Who knows. The world may never know.” Agh, these two!

And, here’s the rest of their relationship timeline…

2016 – Tom calls Zendaya his best friend

The pair meet while filming for Spider-Man: Homecoming in summer 2016, and Tom tells People the actress is his BFF. “We are like the best of friends. She’s so great and amazing. I’m a little worried [about dealing with fame…but] Zendaya is super famous and she’s been through this, and I just call her up and say, ‘How do I manage being famous?’ I’m very glad I have a friend like her.”

2017 – The pair look cosy on a press tour, but deny they’re dating

Ahead of Spider-Man’s release on 5 July 2017, the pair partake in a global press tour and are photographed multiple times getting on like a house on fire. Another source tells People, “They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man. They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye, but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another.”

Zendaya takes to Twitter to shut down the speculation, writing, “Wait wait…my favourite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven’t been on a vacation in years! hbu @TomHolland1996???” to which Holland responds, “Does the press tour count?”This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

It happens all the time, and of course we expected it,” Zenaya tells Entertainment Tonight of the romance speculation. “I mean, it comes with the territory. It comes with the job, so it’s all good.”

May 2018 – Tom praises Zendaya’s Met Gala get up

“All hail the queen. Killing it mate 🙌🏻” he writes on Instagram, in a post that had over 2.5million likes. 

2019 – 2020 – The pair seemingly date other people

Zendaya reportedly starts dating her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi in summer 2019, when they were photographed holidaying in Greece and later spending Thanksgiving together in Australia.

“Jacob and Zendaya have been seeing each other for months now,” a source told E!in February 2020 . “They started as close friends but it became romantic after their show ended. They have been inseparable since last summer and have been making time for each other between projects.”

They were also photographed sharing a kiss that same month, while on a stroll in New York City.

Tom, meanwhile, went Instagram-official with girlfriend Nadia Parks in July 2020, after the pair reportedly quarantined together during the lockdown. “It was early days for Tom and Nadia when the lockdown was announced in London,” a source told Daily Mail

“They made the decision to isolate together, and things have been going great between them. Tom has told friends and family they’re in an official relationship and living together so soon into their romance has only made them stronger.”

February 2021

Tom calls the constant speculation around his love life ‘incredibly frustrating’, after he accidentally tags Zendaya in one of his Instagram posts and the internet goes wild. “You mean, because I tagged Zendaya over my groin in an Instagram post?” Holland quipped to British GQ when asked about relationship speculation.

“That was so funny; it was obviously a mistake. But in all seriousness, it is also incredibly frustrating. It’s very nerve-racking. It means that if you are dating someone, you have to be really conscious of their feelings, because if something does happen between the two of you, it’s not just happening between the two of you, it’s happening in front of the entire world. 

“And it can be very complicated. It’s one of the things I worry about most, of all the things in my career.”

“In an actor way, I appreciate that he really loves being Spider-Man,” she began. “It’s a lot of pressure — you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man. I think he handled that so well. And seeing him at work, even though he’s not a Virgo [laughs], he is a perfectionist.”

She then touched on what it’s like hanging out when the cameras aren’t rolling. “He’s a fun time. Very charismatic, can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat. A good chat — I sound so British.”

Zendaya later revealed the pair watched Love Island together while shooting for five months in the UK, adding, “I was so against it too — I was like, ‘Guys, this is ridiculous. You can’t watch this every day.’ Then I was sucked in.”

The actor continued, saying he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of a private moment. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway,” he explained. “We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.” 

Tom also spoke about his decision not to discuss his and Zendaya’s relationship publicly, saying, “It’s not a conversation that I can have without her. You know, I respect her too much to say … This isn’t my story. It’s our story. And we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together.

Zendaya also shared her feelings on the leak, telling the publication, “It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive. The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own.”

3 December 2021 – They address their height difference

Both Tom and Zendaya appeared The Graham Norton Show on Friday, December 3. Loved-up and speaking candidly about their movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, and their relationship – the pair also addressed their height difference.

Zendaya said, “There’s a particular stunt where Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge, and he places me there. He’s supposed to gently rest MJ on the bridge and walk away from her. Because of our height difference… we were attached, so I would land before him. My feet obviously hit the ground before he does.”

“So, what would happen?” she teased Tom, who then said the pair were practising a safety measurement known as ‘bottom mark’.

He said, “The ‘bottom mark’ is a thing that they do in stunts that is basically designed to stop you from shattering your kneecaps. I’m the superhero. I’m supposed to look cool.”

Getting up, the couple then demonstrated what they were talking about.

Tom said, “She [Zendaya] would land, and then I would sort of land like this, and then my feet would swing from underneath me, and she would catch me.”

Zendaya then said: “You were like, ‘Oh my gosh, thank you.'”

To which Tom laughed and said, “It’s so nice to be caught for a change.”

SO. DAMN. CUTE.
