Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman is an American actress and singer. Her accolades include two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award and Thomas Stanley Holland is an English actor. His accolades include a British Academy Film Award and three Saturn Awards.
Zendaya and Tom Holland have been thriving in their relationship since they publicly confirmed their romance in 2021, and their families couldn't be more delighted with the news.
The couple's bond, which began as a deep friendship, has only strengthened over time, and it's evident that their close ones are thrilled by their enduring connection.
Their low-key approach to their romance has resonated well with their inner circle, who appreciate the authenticity and stability in their relationship.
The families are wholeheartedly supportive of Zendaya and Holland's partnership, believing that they are perfectly matched for each other.
Although the British actor and the Challengers actress have continued to stay in the public eye since they first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, they have managed to keep their relationship unaffected by their fame.
According to the insider, the couple is each other's greatest supporter, and they deeply understand one another. Their strong bond is evident, as they share a unique connection that has only grown stronger over time.
Following their roles as love interests—Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ—in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Holland and Zendaya fueled romance rumors as their off-screen relationship became more evident. Despite the increased attention from fans and media, they have maintained a close, supportive relationship that remains genuine and unaffected by the trappings of celebrity.
The couple officially confirmed their relationship in July 2021 when they were photographed sharing a kiss in a car in Los Angeles. The following month, they made a public appearance together at their friend Josh Florez's wedding in California.
Since then, Holland and Zendaya have appeared together on screen twice more in the Spider-Man franchise, with roles in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home. They have also started to give fans glimpses into their personal lives as a couple, allowing their audience to see more of their relationship beyond the silver screen.
In September 2022, Zendaya shared with E! News that her “boyfriend” was the very first person she reached out to via text after winning the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award at that year’s Emmys.
Holland, meanwhile, gushed about his girlfriend in June 2023, telling Buzzfeed, “I’m locked up, so I’m happy and in love.”
Earlier this year, Zendaya reciprocated the sentiment in an interview with Buzzfeed. When asked which of her Dune cast members had the most charisma, she turned the question around and highlighted her partner instead.
“I don’t know. Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody’s kind of got their own,” Zendaya said in February. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but personally works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland.”
She praised Holland for bringing out the best in her, explaining, “I’m more shy and kind of quiet, So it takes a bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people, getting to know people.”
Zendaya added: “He’s just naturally very good at that. I’ve definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He’s got that natural gift.”
