After years of denial, Zendaya Coleman and Tom Holland have confirmed that they’re an item — mainly by being seen making out in Holland’s car.
What took the 24-year-old Emmy-winner and the handsome Brit, 25, so long? Check out the progression of the “Spider-Man” co-stars’ friendship below.
Spidey senses
Shortly after it was announced Zendaya and Holland would co-star in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the pair started popping up on each other’s social media pages. The actors took the above pool photo in July 2016.
The pics immediately activated fans’ Spidey senses that romance was blossoming between the two, who attended their first red carpet together the same month.
Cover stars
By November, the duo graced the cover of The Hollywood Reporter together, with Zendaya calling it an “honor” to share the moment with her fellow rising star.
“Amidst all the chaos and sadness … this one good thing did happen to me today. Honored to share it with the very best … Spider-Man himself @tomholland2013 🙏🏽 Thank you for this beautiful cover @THR,” she wrote at the time.
Weeks later, she also shared video of their visit to a children’s hospital together in New York.
Summer love?
Throughout summer 2017, Holland and Zendaya walked several red carpets together to promote “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” keeping their body language friendly in most cases.
By July, however, People had published a report claiming the two were an item.
“They started seeing each other while they were filming ‘Spider-Man,’” said the source at the time. “They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another.
“They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together. They have great banter back and forth,” they added.
Both actors denied these claims via Twitter, with Zendaya tweeting, “Wait wait … my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven’t been on a vacation in years! hbu?”
Holland responded: “Does the press tour count?”
Deny, deny, deny
By fall, Zendaya made it clear that she and Holland were just “friends.”
“He’s a great dude,” she told Variety in August 2017. “He’s literally one of my best friends. This past how many months we’ve had to do press tours together. There’s very few people that will understand what that’s like at 20 years old.”
Meet the parents
Despite repeatedly denying that they were a couple, by December Holland was spotted hanging out with Zendaya and her parents at Bobby Van’s Central Park South, where onlookers said Holland “charmed her parents.”
March 2018 found the thespians attending the Oscars together. While they walked the red carpet separately, they sat next to one another during the ceremony.
‘All hail the queen’
Zendaya’s Joan of Arc-inspired Met Gala look from 2018 prompted her “friend” to post a stunning image of her to his Instagram page, captioning the photo, “All hail the queen. Killing it mate 🙌🏻.”
Birthday buddies
She returned the favor the following month when wishing her co-star a happy birthday, sharing a video of him having fun with a toy lightsaber, captioning the clip, “Happy birthday loser.”
When the “Malcolm and Marie” star’s birthday rolled around in September, Holland was sure to acknowledge her as well, posting a paparazzi pic of the two alongside a Spider-Man statue.
Outed
The mother of actress Skai Jackson, a friend of Zendaya’s, soon after confirmed the pair were an item.
“Yes. It’s true. They been on the low for a while,” she wrote within the JustJared Instagram comment section at the time.
She later denied having written the comment, writing, “Nothing posted or said was me. I could [sic] care less or know who was dating who. Please stop asking.”
Choosing to ignore the drama, the pair soon after linked up with their former co-stars to work on the franchise’s sequel, “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”
“Instagram stupid”
Holland cranked up the dating whispers during the sequel’s May 2019 press run, when he posted a photo of cast mates while tagging Zendaya in the photo just above his crotch.
“I’m assuming because you don’t know how to work ig, that’s the reasoning behind my name placement,” she wrote with five laughing emojis, further explaining to fans that her co-star is simply “Instagram stupid.”
Holland shot down more romance rumors during a July 2019 interview with Elle, and was even romantically linked to a mystery woman, whom Page Six identified as Olivia Bolton soon after.
Zendaya also moved on during a supposed break from the English star, getting cozy with her “Euphoria” castmate Jacob Elordi on numerous occasions between August 2019 and March 2020.
Finally!
After four years of speculation, the pair were finally snapped kissing in Holland’s car July 2021, mid-passionate-makeout session in Los Angeles.
They were seen in the Silver Lake neighborhood of LA, where we’re told Zendaya’s mother, Claire Stoermer, resides.
