Zendaya Posts Rare Tribute to Tom Holland Ahead of His New Series Premiere

It isn’t often Zendaya posts about boyfriend Tom Holland, but for his big upcoming career milestone, she made an exception. The actress shared three Instagram Stories dedicated to Holland ahead of the premiere of his Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room, out June 9.

The first was of him making a heart sign with his hands in the water. She added a heart emoji and tagged him.

The second was a repost of his own Instagram for his series:

And the third was a photo of him by the ocean. She captioned it with a heart-eyes emoji:

Zendaya and Holland have generally kept their relationship private. Their romance was first confirmed in July 2021 when the Spider-Man co-stars were filmed kissing in their car.

Zendaya spoke to GQ that November about how baffling she found the public interest in her and Holland. The interest with their dating “was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” she said. “The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own… I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”

Zendaya and Holland have become more public with their romance in the last year, though. Both will share tributes to celebrate the other’s career accomplishments. They were most recently photographed together in Venice in late May. Zendaya had attended a Bulgari event and the couple enjoyed a vacation there, too.
