Compared to the previous birthday messages that both had sent to each other in the past, the caption from last year had a different and more friendly tone. It has always been obvious that Tom had a crush on co-star Zendaya. They both loved each other’s company and have never been afraid to share their amicable love and respect for one another. He first opened up about his relationship in his memoir, You Can’t Be Serious. In a later interview with People, Penn said he discovered his sexuality “later in life” and he was “fortunate” to have been “supported by everyone”.
A Rocky Start
After a jam-packed weekend in Mumbai, the couple is photographed sweetly holding hands as they prepare to fly out of India. During an outing in London, Zendaya and Holland take a tour of King Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace. In pics shared by The Queen Anne Boleyn Society on Instagram, the couple poses with historians Tracy Borman and James Peacock during an intimate tour of the 16th century palace. Ahead, we track everything there is to know about their ultra-private relationship—from when they met, who else they’ve dated, and what they’ve said about each other publicly. Zendaya posted a story on her Instagram account on February 26 saying goodnight to her followers – but fans quickly took note of a stunning ring. Zendaya’s mom, Claire Stoermer, even seemingly set the record straight about the actors’ relationship after rumors circulated in December 2022 that the duo got engaged.
At the time, a source told Page Six that they seemed “charmed” by Holland. The Euphoria costars sparked dating rumors after they were spotted on vacation together in Australia and Greece in 2019. Although Zendaya and Jacob insisted they were just friends, they were also photographed kissing in New York City in February 2020.
June 1, 2019: Zendaya called Holland a ‘wonderful person’ in a post shared for his 23rd birthday
In the summer of 2016,A-list powerhousesTom HiddlestonandTaylor Swiftsurprised the world when they were confirmed to be dating. July 4, 2016, is when things between theCrimson Peakstar and the country pop star got interesting. Tom confessed that this was the first time hed ended up in the tabloids, adding that he is not much of a tabloid person. By early June of that year, Calvin and Taylor announced that their 15-month relationship was over. We prefer to imagine Zendaya and Tom taking a different path in their relationship. While the duo is known for keeping the details of their relationship private, they’ve opened up a bit more in the weeks leading up to the No Way Home premiere.
Despite the news never being confirmed, a source shared the exclusive that two well-known actors from a highly anticipated superhero movie would announce their engagement after their film was released. The “Euphoria” star has been in town since at least last Monday filming the new movie “Challengers,” directed by Luca Guadagnino of “Call Me By Your Name” fame. Though the Euphoria star has had dozens of on-screen love interests throughout her career, there are far fewer guys who have managed to snag the title of Zendaya’s boyfriend in real life.
The first question that came in was “When will Tom get a cameo on Euphoria?” Tom was quick to say that he’s been trying to hang with the East Highland High crew for a while. Zendaya is currently in Budapest, Hungary to film the Dune sequel, and it looks like long distance is no match for our favorite Spider-Man couple. And as if it couldn’t get any better, he flew commercial — we stan a humble king.
During a recent trip to London in March, Zendaya and Tom stopped by Mayfair restaurant Jamavar, where they not only enjoyed a Michelin-star meal, but posed with Culinary Director and Executive Chef, Surender Mohan. Holland added, “I would love to guest star or just be an extra in it. Or maybe I am and you just don’t know.” For the evening out, Holland donned a light gray suit and black turtle neck, matched with black boots. Zendaya stepped out in a black shirt dress, accessorized with a black belt with a gold buckle and black heels. “My Spider-Man, I’m so proud of you,” Zendaya wrote in the caption.
For years, they denied any romance between them and said on many occasions that they were just friends. The Spider-Man couple have been together now for almost two years, and their romance is showing no signs of stopping. Their amazingly romantic visit to the Louvre in October 2022 even went viral with fans comparing the Marvel pair’s relationship to the works of art Tom and Zendaya were visiting the museum to admire. Just when you thought the world was running low on Tom and Zendaya content no thanks to the pandemic, our two favourite co-stars were back to work on Spider-Man 3 at the start of 2021. On 1 July 2021, Tom and Zendaya seemed to confirm their relationship status by sharing a kiss while sat in their parked car together. The pair proved to be more loved-up than ever during an outing in New York City, where they were spotted holding hands.
The day after, Timothee Chalamet said in an interview with his Dune co-star that her “biggest crush” is Holland. Marvel fans have always been rooting for the stars to get together and start dating – and two years ago they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend, with multiple red carpet appearances and public PDAs already ticked off. Though they did not pose together on the red carpet, Zendaya and Holland were photographed arriving together in the Mumbai airport on Friday ahead of the event.
If you’re still trying to spot Holland in the background of Zendaya’s photos, it’s time to focus on more important things. According to the Mirror, the couple recently bought a £3 million house together in South West London, near where Holland was born. However, the actor set the record straight during a Feb. 18 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan. Shortly after Holland’s Elle interview was published, he was spotted out and about with a so-called “mystery woman” in the Hyde Park area of London.
The Onward star’s “Singin’ in the Rain”/”Umbrella” mashup went on to become a classic viral hit as the episode highlighted their playful friendship. Lip Sync Battle aired the now-iconic episode featuring Holland and Zendaya. The California girl serenaded her British beau with Erykah Badu’s “Tyrone” and Bruno Mars’ Rich Meet Beautiful is free “24K Magic.” Holland performed Nelly’s “Ride Wit Me,” but fans might not remember those as well as the final song. The duo “challenge each other and balance each other out,” the third source told Us in July 2021. Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.
What’s a birthday celebration without an adorable social media shoutout from your bae? Tom Holland shared the sweetest message for Zendaya as she celebrated her 25th birthday. Posting an usie from the set of Spiderman, he gushed, “My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when your up xxx.”
Tom and Z also attended the 2021 Ballon d’Or Ceremony, which is an event organized by France Football that celebrates the best men and women’s football players from around the world. Tom posed on the red carpet with his brothers, Harry and Sam, while Z sported a body-hugging backless dress. While Tom has been promoting his new film Uncharted in New York City, he and Zendaya have fit in some of the most adorable date nights. On Tuesday, the couple enjoyed dinner at Mamo in Lower Manhattan, then stepped out for a screening of Tom’s movie on Wednesday.
In fact, one fan captured the Uncharted star flying commercial and knitting on a flight to Budapest to meet up with her as she films Dune‘s sequel. While many of Zendaya’s famous friends, including Hailey Bieber and Chloe Bailey, were quick to send their adoration for the creative images, among them was Spiderman himself. Shortly after, People quoted a source as saying that the pair were being “super careful to keep [their relationship] private” but have “gone on vacations with each other”.
