In case you’re a bit late to the party (with Mysterio, of course), then you might have
missed super exciting news: Spider-Man co-stars Zendaya and Tom Holland sent the internet
into a frenzy with their steamy and sweet kiss.
The actors have finally made all of our dreams come true and seemingly confirmed their romance.
So, is there summer love in the air for the two sweet creatures?
Can it be just a publicity stunt?
We’ll tell you all about the newest hot couple in today’s video.
So grab your favourite mugs, and let’s sip the tea!
Page Six recently shared images of Tom Holland and Zendaya out and about in LA.
The Hollywood stars looked to be enjoying each other’s company when they were photographed
laughing and interacting playfully while at a red light.
In addition to the gentle yet passionate kiss, the actors were also spotted hanging out with
Zendaya’s mom, adding fuel to the ongoing fire of romance speculation.
Some internet sleuths, however, have quickly pointed out that their new movie Spider-Man:
No Way Home is set to drop later this year.
Meaning, the timing might be a bit… coincidental.
One of the now-famous pics shows them cheekily grinning at each other, which some have taken
as proof that it’s a publicity stunt.
“it’s funny how this photo makes you think if zendaya and tom holland are a real thing
or just trolling everyone lmao” Fans have speculated that the two were dating
since 2017 after they became co-stars in the hit Marvel movie Spiderman: Homecoming.
Probably due to their amazing on-screen chemistry and iconic off-screen friendship.
The youngsters have been the subject of “are they or aren’t they?” and have been fighting
off romance shenanigans for four years now.
Since romance speculations first started, both have been linked to other people.
Zendaya and her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi reportedly dated for a year, while Tom Holland
dated Olivia Bolton before starting a romance with Nadia Parkes.
But, of course, Tom also called Jake Gyllenhaal his ‘husband’ at one point… so there’s
that.
At the time, Zendaya dispelled rumours to Variety, saying, “He’s a great dude.
He’s literally one of my best friends.”
The actor elaborated that not many people can actually understand what it’s like to
do a press tour when you’re just 20 years old.
In 2019, Tom shared with Elle magazine that he wasn’t dating Zendaya but called himself
a “relationship person” who prefers something more serious to flings, saying, “I’m not
the fleeting type at all; it’s not my way of life.”
The pair also shot down rumours that they had gone on holiday together.
“Wait, wait…my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA!” the Emmy
winner tweeted at the time after someone claimed they were together.
“I haven’t been on vacation in years! hbu @TomHolland1996???”
The Marvel star replied, “Does the press tour count?”
However, the young and famous are close friends and have publicly gushed about one another
in interviews and on social media.
They’ve also been super supportive of one another’s careers.
After the Malcolm & Marie star turned heads at the 2019 Met Gala, Holland shared a photo
of her outfit via Instagram with the caption, “All hail the queen.
Killing it, mate.”
We wouldn’t be us if we didn’t mention one of the most epic Lip Sync Battles of all
time!
Of course, they’ve always been quick to squash any dating rumours, but these new pics
could be a hint at their current relationship status.
And if the Marvel stars are dating, they’ve already hit a major relationship milestone.
As a source told Us Weekly back in 2017 that Tom already met Zendaya’s parents.
“They love him,” the insider said.
T and Z wouldn’t be the first Spider-Man and MJ off-screen couple either.
We don’t know what it is about these movie sets…
They have served us couple after couple, with every iteration of the films producing an
iconic Peter Parker and Mary Jane pairing: à la Kirsten Dunst + Tobey Maguire and Emma
Stone + Andrew Garfield.
Regardless of their relationship status, Holland has credited Zendaya as one of his top two
acting mentors, with the other being Robert Downey Jr.
Our latest Peter Parker revealed she was there for him when his life was drastically changing,
with all the big films and travelling the world, and everyone starting to know who he
is.
“And you have to behave differently.
You have a responsibility to kind of uphold this idea of being a role model to young kids.
And, arguably, she’s the best at that,” he told Backstage a couple of months ago.
While neither one has confirmed or denied (again) their relationship, fans can expect
to watch them heat up the movie screens (again) with their on-screen romance in No Way Home
this winter.
As for now, the internet promptly lost it, christening the couple “Tomdaya.”
“are you okay?”
idk if i wanna be zendaya or tom holland – one fan wrote.
With another one saying, “am i the only one who thought zendaya and tom holland were
already confirmed dating before the kiss” “Tom Holland and zendaya are it for me,
don’t ruin this” the third Twitter user declared.
Would a kiss be a terrific way to drum up plenty of publicity for their upcoming film?
Yes.
Does that make it any less sweet and heart-breaking?
No.
After all, a kiss is never just a kiss.
And that’s not the only dream to come true recently.
Well, this year seems to be one for big Hollywood romances.
What do you think of our newest couple?
Have you been waiting for them to get together for four years as well?
