Both Tom Holland and Zendaya have finally broken their silence about THOSE PDA paparazzi
pics and revealed just how much they’re both in love.
Let’s get into it!
In case you forgot (but real talk how could you?!?)
back in July, paparazzi photos of Tom and Zendaya having a sweet PDA moment in their
car were released that seemingly confirmed the Spider-Man co-stars took their relationship
to the next level.
Out of an abundance of respect for the pair’s privacy, we won’t be sharing those photos
here, but as soon as they hit the internet, fans were freaking out about the fact that
they seemingly confirmed the pair’s still-rumored relationship at the time.
While the speculation about the couple has run wild since July, and we’ve been lucky
enough to see both Tom and Z gush and praise each other via social media, Tom and Z have
both never commented publicly on those photos… until now.
Tom landed one of THREE Men of the Year cover stories for GQ’s annual issue where he was
dubbed “The Superhero of The Year” and the photos and accompanying interview are
seriously jaw-dropping.
Which, obviously, Z shared Tom’s cover to her IG story with one simple emoji to let
us know how she really feels about him… the heart eyes, duh!
This is definitely relationship goals!
Ugh, we love it!
While the cover photo is certainly swoon-worthy, it’s in the accompanying interview that
Tom and Zendaya BOTH opened up about their feelings on THOSE paparazzi photos taken while
they were kissing.
Tom told GQ that one of the negatives of fame is that their privacy isn’t entirely in
their control anymore.
He explained: “...A moment that you think is between two people that love each other
very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.”
Um hold up… two people that love each other?
Did Tom just confirm he LOVES Z?!
Awwww!
Not us getting into our feels over here!
Tom continued by saying how important it is that he tries as hard as he can to keep his
private life, well, private and went on to reveal exactly what that moment felt like
for the pair.
He told the mag, “We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.
I don’t think it’s about not being ready.
It’s just that we didn’t want to.”
Which we totally get.
It’s why Tom feels that the conversation about their relationship isn’t one that
he “can have without her.”
He added, “You know, I respect her too much to say…
This isn’t my story.
It’s our story.
And we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together.”
Talk about a true gentleman!
Seriously, when will your favs?
Naturally, GQ called up Zendaya and that’s when our girl Z entered the chat to get her
thoughts on the whole situation and she did NOT mince her words.
She said, “It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive.
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.…”
Oh em gee.
First Tom said he loves and cares about Z and now she’s saying it too?!?
That’s certainly a confirmation on both parts, right?!?
We’re high-key happy to see these two talk so candidly about their love!
Zendaya continued to explain to the mag, “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.”
Um!
Yes!
These two are seriously the cutest!
While the release of those PDA paparazzi photos sounds like it was an incredibly difficult
moment for the pair, it’s clear they’ve built a solid foundation for their ever-blossoming
relationship.
Z & Tom, of course, will remain tight-lipped about their relationship, but they will be
doing the press rounds to promote Spider-Man: No Way Home and we hope we’ll get a bunch
of cute moments between the two!
