Zendaya and Tom Holland, both 25, arrived separately on the red carpet for the Ballon d’Or awards, confirming their romance. However, backstage at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on Monday night, the couple didn’t keep their distance.

Tom affectionately put his arm around Zendaya as they posed for a sweet photo together. She looked stunning in a black silk dress by Roberto Cavalli. Tom, a fan of Zendaya’s fashion sense, recently praised her style during an interview on the French show Quotidien, reacting to clips of her iconic looks by saying, “It’s unreal though, it’s amazing.”

This isn’t the first time Tom has publicly complimented Zendaya’s fashion choices. Earlier this month, he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram celebrating her CFDA Fashion Icon Award. At the Ballon d’Or event, while they chose to pose separately on the red carpet, both exuded A-list style.

Zendaya captivated attention with her expert posing, highlighting the intricate back design of her outfit. She accessorized with black heels and matching jewelry, while her sleek black hair and natural makeup completed the elegant look.

Tom sported longer hair and black-rimmed shades, dressed in a classic black suit and bow tie for the glittering awards ceremony presented by France Football, honoring the world’s top footballers. Lionel Messi was expected to receive his seventh Ballon d’Or award that evening after his Copa America win with Argentina.

Romance rumors surrounding Zendaya and Tom began in 2017 during the filming of Spider-Man: Homecoming. According to an insider, the couple has kept their relationship private but have been seen vacationing together and spending quality time.

While Tom was previously linked to Olivia Bolton until April 2020, Zendaya was rumored to be dating Jacob Elordi in 2019, who is now in a relationship with Kaia Gerber. The pair will reprise their roles in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, set to release in December.
