How long have Zendaya and Tom Holland been dating?
Tom Holland and Zendaya, who portray Peter Parker and Michelle “MJ” Jones in the Spider-Man films, initially claimed they had been friends for several years.
However, when their characters shared their first kiss in Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019, their relationship took a romantic turn.
In July 2021, they spotted each other kissing in a car, confirming their off-screen romance.
In September of that year, they made their relationship Instagram official when Holland posted a selfie to celebrate Zendaya’s 25th birthday.
The actor referred to her as “my MJ” in the caption.
In November of that year, Tom shared in an interview with GQ that he wanted to keep his relationship with Euphoria star private. He said,
“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,”
The actor, 28, stated that he and Zendaya would decide together when to share details about their relationship. Holland explained,
“This isn’t just my story. it’s our story. We will discuss what it is when we are both ready to talk about it.”
Why do Zendaya and Tom Holland choose to keep their love life under wraps?
Holland explained to The Hollywood Reporter in a June 2023 interview that he and Zendaya choose to keep their relationship private because they are “incredibly protective” of each other. He stated,
“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible. We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers”
The following month, during an appearance on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, Holland described his relationship with Zendaya as the aspect of his life he values “most sacred,” acknowledging his desire for privacy.
“I don’t talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible, We both feel very strongly that that is the healthiest way to move on as a couple.”
In August 2023, Zendaya shared similar thoughts in an interview with Elle, expressing her commitment to “protecting the peace” in their relationship despite the constant public scrutiny and paparazzi attention.
She acknowledged that while some parts of her life will inevitably be public, she retains control over what she shares. Zendaya said,
“It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist”
Despite keeping a low profile, Zendaya has shown her affection for Holland in subtle ways. In June 2022, she posted on Instagram to celebrate his 26th birthday, sharing a black-and-white photo of them cuddling together.
The 28-year-old actress then captioned the post,
“Happiest of birthdays to the one who makes me the happiest,”
Additionally, in March 2023, her nail artist shared a video on Instagram showing her wearing a gold ring with Holland’s initials.
