"Zendaya and Tom are in the best place they could be right now," US Weekly's report states. According to the report, the duo "going public with their relationship" has made them "even more strong and confident" in their bond. For those unversed, the couple had seemingly confirmed their romance back in July when they were spotted kissing each other. The report noted that the two "started off as really great friends and stayed that way for a long time while before things turned romantic." Tom gave a candid interview to GQ, touching on how he struggles to keep his relationship private. It isn't clear exactly how long the couple have been dating due to the on-again, off-again nature of their relationship.
While they were first linked in 2017, they've both had other relationships since then. Zendaya dated Euphoria costar Jacob Elordi in 2020, while Holland was rumored to be dating family friend Olivia Bolton from 2019 to 2020. He later sparked romance rumors with Nadia Parkes when he posted a photo of the actress to Instagram.
Even with all the rumors, Zendaya and Holland haven't let gossip stop them from enjoying their friendship and showing their support for one another. For example, in September, Holland wished his co-star a happy birthday on Instagram, posting a paparazzi shot and captioning it, "Me, myself and the birthday girl. Happy birthday mate - keep killing it and paving the way for the rest of us." In June, Zendaya did the same for Holland . A source told People magazine in July that the duo has been dating for a while, but chose to keep their relationship private.
"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," the source said. The pair were spotted kissing in a car while stopped at a red light in Los Angeles last week. There have been rumors that Zendaya and Holland were privately dating throughout the filming of the Spider-Man trilogy. Neither of the actors have spoken publicly about their rumored relationship.
Tom Holland and Olivia Bolton, a family friend, were first linked in July 2019 when they were photographed flirting at the British Summer Time Festival in London's Hyde Park. A source told The Sun at the time that Holland Bolton met through their families, who have been friends for years. "Tom and Olivia's family have been friends for years but it took some time for Tom and Olivia to realize the connection between them," the insider said.
"Tom's been dogged with rumours about who he's dating so finally being public with Olivia has been a massive relief for him." The newspaper reported that the Holland Bolton broke up in April 2020. "They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," a source told People. "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." Being asked about it must be annoying, but they've at least had a sense of humor about it. It's especially miraculous because this nonsense started way back in 2017.
And at long last, Zendaya has finally spoken about the relationship and the time they spent together filming Spider-Man in the UK. Let's dive into the Tom Holland and Zendaya relationship timeline to see how Peter Parker and MJ took their romance from the set to real life. When Tom posted a photo ofDoctor Whoactress Nadia Parks in July 2020, fans went wild in speculation about their relationship. Although they never confirmed anything official, they did "like" each others' social media posts for some time, according toPOPSUGAR. Whatever sort of romance they may have had, though, was likely short-lived, considering how Tom confirmed his relationship to Zendaya a little less than a year later. A picture is worth a thousand words, though, so Tomdaya shippers have a lot more to go on after the very cozy-looking photos from July 1.
It's safe to say that the rumors have returned — and perhaps are stronger than ever. "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 said in reference to the photos of them kissing in the car. After months of speculation, Spider-Man stars Zendaya and Tom Holland confirmed they were dating when they were spotted kissing in a car. Here's a look back at their relationship history, from the rumours to the kiss to their latest couple-y outings, starting with the latest update. However, both Zendaya and Tom had remained adamant that there was no truth to the rumors.
"He's a great dude. He's literally one of my best friends." Meanwhile, Tom called Zendaya a "mate" in a birthday post back in 2018. Neither Zendaya nor Tom have yet to publicly address the status of their relationship, but the photos speak for themselves. Like most young people figuring out a relationship, Tom Holland and Zendaya didn't get the chance to unveil their relationship on their time. As Holland pointed out, he gave so much of himself to the world and wanted a nugget of privacy. The alleged romance with his Spider-Man co-star came off as valuable and meaningful to him as he spoke about the invasiveness of the kissing photos.
As he continues to navigate the Hollywood spotlight, the actor might open up more about the rumored relationship. On Zendaya's birthday, Holland gave a special shoutout to his supposed girlfriend on Instagram. Using a photo from behind the scenes on the set of Spiderman Holland said, "My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when you're up xxx." This sweet message very nearly broke the internet as fans rejoiced all around the world with their hearts melting and tears in their eyes. The post also received close to 19 million likes, so it definitely did some collateral damage. More time passed as Holland met Zendaya's parents, and the actress continued to deny dating rumors, but things got a little suspicious when Holland posted her stunning knight-in-shining-armor-esque Met Gala look to Instagram.
It was the ultimate sign of Holland's awe for the star, saying "All hail the queen." This was a bold move on Holland's part and left fans in a state of wonder as the post racked up over 2.5 million likes. "She's one of the most incredible people I've ever met," Holland told Extra of his girlfriend on the red carpet. "And I love her to bits. So, to be here tonight is amazing. I'm delighted to share it with her."
"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," Zendaya told the publication. Tom has put up a defensive front when it comes to publicly commenting on his romance with hisSpider-Mancostar. After denying relationship rumors in 2017, he and Zendaya were spotted sharing a kiss in a car in July 2021. As a result, multiple photos of the two flooded the internet as they seemingly confirmed their status.
He also posted a photograph of her from the Dune red carpet on 19 October with a heart-eyed emoji in the caption. The day after, Timothee Chalamet said in an interview with his Dune co-star that her "biggest crush" is Holland. Since speculation between the two stopped swirling, both have been romantically linked to other stars.
Tom seemed to confirm his relationship with Nadia Parkes in July 2020 by sharing a photo of her on Instagram, while Zendaya was in a rumored relationship with Jacob Elordiuntil March 2020. But in July 2021, it seemed like the duo took things to the next level when they were spotted locking lips in photos obtained byPage Six. Even before the photos, Holland and Zendaya never made a secret of the fact that they're tight. Fans also picked up on a flirty vibe in their social media interactions. She then replied to him by tweeting a screenshot of the then-21-year-old's IG and wrote, "I really can't stand him," alongside four tears-of-joy emojis. But it's not just the media and fans speculated about the co-stars' dating status as Zendaya's Dune co-star Timotheé Chalamet teased her about the rumors.
Tom Holland fed into the speculation after leaving a comment on his co-star's Instagram. So, Holland's statement added more levity to the alleged romance. After years of a rumored romance, the Cherry actor, 25, and "Euphoria" star, 24, seemingly confirmed their offscreen relationship with a steamy makeout session on Thursday . Page Six obtained photos of the couple showing PDA while driving through L.A.'s Silver Lake neighborhood in Holland's Audi. "I've spent the last six years being so focused on my career," he told the publication.
"I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world." Leave it to Zendaya's Dune co-star Timothée Chalamet to expose the two's relationship during a recent interview for the film. Not expecting this callout, Zendaya's reaction was one for the books. In a video for Buzzfeed Celeb, Chalamet and Zendaya were challenged to ask each other questions for a BFF test. When asked who was their biggest celebrity crush, Chalamet answered with little hesitation, "Easy, Tom Holland," looking at the actress as she laughed it off before moving onto the next question. It proved that there was no need for an explanation on Zendaya's part since the whole world knows now about her relationship with Holland.
The two stars left fans heartbroken as they were rumored to be seeing other people. Zendaya began dating her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi, while Holland was linked to actress Nadia Parks. Just take a look at the Instagram comments and you'll see the complete outrage of fans complaining about the stars' new significant others. Unfortunately, both relationships reportedly ended around the summer of 2020. This was a sigh of relief for avid shippers of Holland and Zendaya, but the two remained silent about their breakups. Zendaya gushed over the things she appreciates most about Tom during an interview for InStyle magazine's November 2021 cover story.
On Monday, December 13 Tom was being interviewed by Entertainment Tonight at the world premiere when he got giddy when his girlfriend arrived at the event. "Sounds like Zendaya just showed up," he said excitedly, Tom watched on as the fashion icon walked the red carpet. While Zendaya and Tom Holland have not confirmed nor denied their relationship just yet, those July kissing photos may have done the work for them. Here's everything you need to know about the supposed couple, from the rumors that started it all to where they stand now.
Actor Tom Holland, Zendaya's boyfriend, had recently expressed his desire in an interview to appear in her show Euphoria. Tom had said that he has been petitioning to appear on Euphoria for long, but it has not yet happened which has left him disappointed. He added that he has been at least 30 times on the sets of Euphoria. In an interview, she said that she is very much aware of Tom's desire. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the two on Tom and Zendaya's friend's Instagram Stories and shared the snap on social media. Ever since Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Zendaya and Tom Holland were spotted kissing one another in the front seat of a car in July 2021, Marvel fans have been rabidly searching for any and all details about the duo's relationship.
The car kiss is only the tip of the "Tom and Zendaya are totally a ~thing~ IRL" evidence though. The costars were also spotted in LA's Silver Lake neighborhood, where Zendaya's mother, Claire Stoermer, reportedly lives. After months of speculation, Tom Holland appeared to acknowledge those Zendaya rumors without officially confirming them.
But unlike most relationship reveals, Holland was protective over the bond the two stars have formed over the years. Like any young person, the Uncharted star was still navigating the terrain of what he should and shouldn't say about their budding romance. From Tom's candid reactions after seeing his girlfriend on the red carpet to Zendaya's tribute to her boyfriend, she calls "My Spider-Man" – he called her his MJ on her birthday – we can't get enough of our OTP.
A month later on October 18th, he then posted a black and white picture of Zendaya on the Dune red carpet. In July, photos surfaced of Holland and Zendayakissing in Los Angeles, ultimately confirming what fans had been speculating on for years. Holland eventuallyopened up to GQ about his privacy with the fellow movie star/former child actor, or lack thereof, and how moments like paparazzi photos can take that away. "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 said.
Tom Holland and actress Ella Purnell had a short romance in 2017. (Holland won the award for EE Rising Star at the BAFTAs that year.) "Tom and Ella were very close inside the Weinstein party and it looked really obvious that he was taken by her," a source told The Sun. Tom reportedly started dating actress Nadia Parks, though news of their relationship didn't come out until around July 2020 after Tom posted a picture of Nadia on Instagram. 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." Zendaya showed Tom some love with a sweet message on Instagram. She posted two photos of him in his Spider-Man costume — one from the latest film and one from his childhood. "My Spider-Man, I'm so proud of you, some things never change and good thing♥️@tomholland2013," she captioned the photos. Wisely, the actors decided to squash the rumor swiftly, and the day after the People report, they used their playful rapport to shut it all down.
Zendaya tweeted a link to the story and wrote, "Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! " Holland then responded, "@Zendaya Does the press tour count ?? The star took to social media to share a sweet post dedicated to the actress, and posted a never-before-seen picture of the two of them cuddled up in a dressing room. "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. Based on just those tweets, some people suspected they were more than friends, but Zendaya soon shut down the rumors. The Disney Channel vet took to Twitter that June and basically rolled her eyes at the romance speculation.
In response to a Twitter user who had commented by tweeting, "Zendaya and Tom Holland, someone is cooking some sweet romance on Twitter today," she wrote with pitch-perfect sarcasm. "Right, cause nothing says 'sweet romance' like dragging each other for filth on twitter," she wrote. But Zendaya and boyfriend Tom Holland certainly made the most of their downtime as they larked about with co-star Jacob Batalon in hilarious snaps shared to Instagram on Wednesday. "I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture," she revealed, adding that she's told multiple co-stars to keep things platonic. Granted, it also appears as if the Spider-Man movies are the best place for stars to meet their significant others, seeing as how all the former Spideys have gotten together with their on-screen love interests.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, as well Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. "My Spider-Man, I'm so proud of you, some things never change and good thing," Zendaya's caption read. Previously, Tom had penned a lovely post on Zendaya's 25th birthday. "My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when your up," he shared, alongside a mirror selfie of them. Weeks went by without any more pictures of the two celebrities. Thankfully though, there was another leak of images that the stars attended a wedding together.
One of the wedding guests, Estaban Camarillo, posted a photo of Tom and Zendaya sitting very close to each other with their heads touching. Zendaya was sporting a long, tan dress with a glow stick around her neck and Holland with a classic white button-down and black pants. All I can say is that this image is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
The stars denied romance rumors for years, but in July, they were photographed kissing in a car. Since theCherryactor discussed how much he values privacy, fans noticed how he barely commented on any of his past relationships. When he was reportedly dating Nadia, Tom posted a photo of theSpanish Princessactress via Instagram, without tagging her or writing anything about their relationship. In the middle of his red carpet interview, the 25-year-old actor turned towards the sound of fans screaming as Zendaya arrived and tried to spot her, before resuming.
People described his eagerness to see her as the "cutest thing ever", with many adoring how "smitten" he seems. During an interview with Variety, Zendaya was asked if there was any romance between her and Tom. Zendaya shared a photo of herself and Tom on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter with a very sweet caption. "Amidst all the chaos and sadness...this one good thing did happen to me today," she wrote. "Honored to share it with the very best...Spider-Man himself @tomholland2013 🙏🏽."
