Tom Holland calls his romance with Zendaya 'sacred' as he makes rare comments about his love life
The undeniable chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya in the 'Spider-Man' trilogy extends beyond the screen, as the two have been involved in a real-life relationship that mirrors their on-screen connection. However, they have been quite protective of their personal relationship, keeping it separate from their public lives.
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland shed some light on why he and Zendaya prefer to keep their relationship private. While promoting his new psychological thriller series, ‘The Crowded Room’, Holland briefly discussed his bond with Zendaya.
Tom Holland opens up about his relationship with Zendaya
Throughout their two-year relationship, the couple has maintained a level of privacy, rarely discussing their personal lives in the media. Holland emphasized that their relationship is something they hold sacred, stating, "Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of, and we want to keep it as sacred as possible."
Holland expressed the belief that they don't owe anyone an explanation. He clarified, "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers." Tom Holland and Zendaya have truly excelled at keeping their relationship under wraps. Even though rumors of their romance circulated after the first 'Spider-Man' movie, neither of them publicly confirmed the relationship, and their public appearances together were not indicative of a romantic connection. Even after eventually confirming their relationship, they have remained relatively private. Occasionally, Zendaya may mention Holland's cooking skills, or Holland might affectionately refer to his partner with a cute nickname, but that is as far as their public displays go.
Love in reel and real life
Tom Holland and Zendaya make it a point to support each other's professional endeavors as much as possible. Whenever their schedules align, they attend events together. However, Zendaya's absence from the New York premiere of Tom's show, 'The Crowded Room,' caught people's attention.
Tom addressed the reason why Zendaya couldn't attend the premiere, explaining, "She's visiting her grandma. We're both very busy individuals and currently, we find ourselves on opposite sides of the world, so she couldn't make it."
Beyond their professional lives, the couple also enjoys spending quality time together. Tom revealed that they occasionally go golfing as a couple, and he has even given Zendaya a few lessons. Praising her natural talent and athleticism, he mentioned how quickly she picked up the sport.
Tom and Zendaya initially sparked dating rumors in 2021 while working together on Marvel's 'Spider-Man.' Since then, they have been in a relationship for nearly two years, sharing a strong bond both on and off the screen.
