Zendaya’s Constant Affection: Tom Holland Shines During ‘Dune: Part Two’ Press Tour

Zendaya and Tom Holland were once a fairly private couple. Although they met on the set of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” in 2016, their relationship wasn’t confirmed publicly until 2021. Since then, there have been few public photos of the couple, as they tend to keep things low-key.

However, they seem ready to change that in 2024. During the press tour for “Dune: Part Two,” Zendaya has been leaning into the public’s fascination with the couple, casually mentioning her boyfriend in interviews. This week, when speaking to IGV, she was asked about one thing she would bring back from the UK to the States. Zendaya replied, “My boyfriend,” adding, “I would just take him with me.”

Even her co-star Timothée Chalamet joked that he’d also love to bring Tom Holland home in his suitcase if he could. Fans have been delighted by Zendaya’s affectionate energy. One user on X commented, “She’s so in love, I love it.” Another fan shared, “I strive to be this obsessed and in love.” Another wrote, “Two mentions in a week—she’s shutting down the breakup rumors HARD.”

Last week, in an interview with BuzzFeed while playing with puppies, Zendaya was asked which of her co-stars has the most “rizz” (a slang term for charisma). Zendaya answered, “Everybody’s kind of got their own. I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the ‘Dune’ cast, but someone who personally—worked for me—is Mr. Tom Holland.”

She continued, “I’m more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at talking to people and getting to know people, and you see him on talk shows and stuff like that. He’s just naturally very good at that. He’s got that natural gift.”
