Even celebrities can’t get enough of Tom Holland and Zendaya‘s relationship! While the Spider-Man: No Way Home stars have briefly spoken of their romance, having only confirmed their love in November 2021, their famous friends have spilled some tea about the couple.
Following the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming in July 2017, fans immediately hoped that Tom and Zendaya would date in real life. While they often denied that things between them were romantic, the pair confirmed longtime rumors about their relationship in July 2021. At the time, The New York Post’s Page Six obtained photos of the two stars kissing in Tom’s car during a Los Angeles outing.
“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya told GQ in November 2021 of the moment their relationship went public. “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.”
During the same interview, Tom agreed and opened up about the downsides of dating in the public eye.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and 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,” the Cherry star explained. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”
Despite their social media followers and fans obsessing over their every move, Tom and Zendaya still have nothing but amazing things to say about each other.
“Having her in my life was so instrumental to my sanity,” the British star also told GQ. “She is so good at being the role model for young guys and girls. When anyone comes up, like ‘Can I have a picture?,’ it’s never a bad time. Whereas my initial reaction was: ‘Why are you talking to me? Leave me alone.’ ”
Tom and Zendaya aren’t the only ones who’ve publicly gushed over one another. Some of their famous friends have commented on their relationship. Scroll through our gallery to see what other stars have said.

“They’re my family and we’ve really grown a lot together; we’ve seen each other go through a lot,” the actor told 1883 Magazine in December 2021 about filming their final Spider-Man: No Way Home scene. “It was a pretty emotional moment for us because we just couldn’t believe that we had accomplished something so amazing together. The gravity of it all … It’s a lot. I think Tom is very happy and fortunate, too. He loves his job and what he does and the character of Peter so much.”

Watching you grow up! Fall in love with the greatest women @zendaya and become our hero! From Spider-Man to the greatest dancer in a Billy Elliot and @lipsyncbattle And now you will play Fred Astaire hopefully ??? There is nothing you can’t and won’t do! I remember this moment.

While appearing on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in February 2022, the Euphoria star praised Tom and spoke about the Spider-Man star’s relationship with Zendaya.
“I knew I was gonna hear Tom’s name,” the singer-turned-actor joked at the time. “Well, I can tell you is that Tom is surprisingly a nice guy for being Spider-Man. You know, because you assume, as Spider-Man, you can do whatever you want. You can walk into any room and point at someone’s girlfriend, you know what I mean? He doesn’t do that, he points at his girlfriend and kisses her on the mouth.”
