“Spider-Man” Tom Holland and actress Zendaya often show affection after publicly dating in 2021.

On Instagram on November 13, the couple joined The Brother Trust’s campaign, selling their autographs along with Spider-Man: No Way Home posters . The organization, founded by Tom Holland’s parents in 2017, uses the actor’s fame and connections to raise funds for charities. Photo: The Brother Trust Instagram

The two first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Tom played Spider-Man and Zendaya transformed into MJ. The relationship between the two characters developed from friends to lovers, just like the real-life couple. Photo: GC

At that time, the media sparked rumors that the couple was dating because of their chemistry and intimate gestures. However, they denied the information. Tom told People in 2017: “We are the best of friends. She’s great, I’m so happy to have a friend like Zendaya.” Photo: Wire Image

Whenever they meet, the couple freely joke around. On social media, they also have a juggling act. For example, when rumors of dating spread, the model wrote on Twitter: “It’s interesting that people say we’re traveling together when I haven’t been anywhere this year. Tom Holland, what about you?”. Tom replied: “Does the press conference count?”. Photo: Film Magic

In July 2021, Tom and Zendaya went public with their relationship when they were caught kissing in a car, becoming one of the most beloved “fake love, real love” couples. Since then, they have been happily together, appearing at events, watching sports tournaments and concerts together.

On SiriusXM in 2022, the couple said their height difference doesn’t affect their relationship. Tom Holland is 5’6″ tall, his girlfriend is 5’7″, but they’re comfortable with it. Photo: Wire Image

They support and help each other in their work. According to Entertainment Tonight , Tom helps his girlfriend stabilize her mental health while filming Euphoria . In the work, Zendaya plays Rue – a teenage girl who is addicted and has many psychological problems. The character requires the actor to show her depravity and inner darkness. Or at the premiere of Uncharted (2022), the model also appeared to support the movie her boyfriend plays the main character. Photo: Instagram Tom Holland

The two keep their relationship as private as possible, not revealing much about their love life. Tom told The Hollywood Reporter in June: “We are extremely protective of our relationship, wanting to preserve the most sacred things. The relationship has nothing to do with either of our careers.” He added that he can be himself when he is with his girlfriend.

Despite their secretiveness, they still often show affection for each other. On the occasion of the actor’s 26th birthday, Zendaya posted a black and white photo of the two of them together, writing: “Happy birthday to the person who makes me happiest.” According to Forbes , the photo is in the top 17 most liked photos on Instagram with more than 26 million likes. She also has a ring engraved with “TH” – the initials of her lover’s name. Photo: Zendaya’s Instagram
