Zendaya attended her second awards show of the weekend Sunday evening, stepping out solo at the SAG Awards in Los Angeles. Her boyfriend, Tom Holland, did not join her, but his absence is not surprising.
Outside of their Spider-Man promotion, where the two played on-screen love interests, the two haven’t attended any award shows together as a couple, choosing to keep their relationship as private as possible.
He did like the Instagram posts that she and her stylist, Law Roach, posted of her NAACP Award looks though, showing support from afar.
Holland wasn’t nominated for any awards at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, meaning he had no reason to be there on his own. Zendaya was up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her work in Euphoria.
Holland spoke to GQ in November 2021 about how the two actually hadn’t wanted to go public with their romance—but a video of them kissing in a car surfaced that summer, making that impossible.
“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,” he said, alluding to the kissing video. “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.”
“I don’t think it’s about not being ready,” he added of when their relationship did go public. “It’s just that we didn’t want to.”
