Summary:
- Speaking with Vogue, Zendaya had some flattering words for her boyfriend, Tom Holland, on how he handled his fame after playing Spider-Man in the MCU.

It seems that Zendaya couldn’t be happier for her beau, Tom Holland! In a heartfelt conversation with Vogue and British Vogue, where the 27-year-old actress shines as the May cover star for both, she reflects on the whirlwind journey they’ve embarked on together, especially following Holland’s meteoric rise to fame as Spider-Man in the MCU.
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” said the Dune star, clearly empathizing with the journey Holland had been through.
“I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully,” Zendaya added.
Back in 2017, when they first co-starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Zendaya was already making waves in her career, while Holland was about to see his world transform. The MCU’s Spider-Man trilogy was a massive success, and Holland’s name skyrocketed to become an A-lister powerhouse in just a couple of years.
However, according to Zendaya, it seems that the British performer didn’t let the fame get to his head. The Uncharted star keeps his head on the ground, and as a result, his career propels even more at 27 years of age.
Now, as Holland prepares to take the stage in London’s West End with “Romeo & Juliet” this May, Zendaya will show her boyfriend her unwavering support. She plans to catch as many performances of Holland as possible. Talks about commitment.
Zendaya and Holland’s romance has always been a hot topic inside the Marvel fandom, with plenty of hints and rumors from when the two started co-acting in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. However, the two only publicly revealed their relationship five years later, as they were caught kissing in a car.
Zendaya’s recent role in the movie “Challengers” stirred conversations, thanks to a particularly steamy scene in its trailer with Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor, sitting on a bed. As a result, a lot of people who saw the trailer assumed that Holland would be jealous of his partner.
In response, the British actor remained silent and professional regarding the movie. However, he already praised, and joked about another adult-themed movie of Zendaya in Malcolm & Marie, so it appears that Holland wouldn’t be too bothered if his partner is involved in another spicy project.
Recently, Zendaya also starred in Dune 2, a part of a franchise where she plays Timothy Chalamet’s love interest, Chani.
Despite the intense scrutiny from the press, the couple doesn’t shy away from enjoying life together. Last month, the two lovebirds were spotted having a casual date together at the BNP Paribas Open final in Indian Wells, California.
The two were clearly in a good mood, smiling, chatting, and even singing along to a Whitney Houston tune in their seats during the match as Carlos Alcaraz triumphed on the court.
