After not being seen together for several months, fans speculated that Tom and Zendaya called it quits. HOLR breaks down the rumors.
Zendaya Dune 2 Premiere
Dune actress Zendaya appeared on the red carpet of her new movie Dune: Part Two alongside co-stars Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler. Zendaya turned heads in a risqué robot outfit that featured daring cutouts in several places.
After attending the premiere, Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland wore matching outfits and held hands while attending an afterparty. The sighting of the two finally put to rest rumors that the couple had broken up. The couple were previously the subject of engagement rumors.
Are Tom Holland and Zendaya Still Dating
As explained in a related article, fans previously speculated that the two stars signaled they’d ended their relationship. The alleged signs included Zendaya unfollowing everyone—including boyfriend Holland—on Instagram, and the two not being seen together in public for several months.
TMZ asked Holland if the pair had broken up, “No, absolutely not,” the star responded.
The pair confirmed their relationship in July 2021 after years of speculation following their starring roles in the 2017 movie Spiderman: Homecoming.
Tom Holland Celebrity Pressure
Tom Holland previously spoke with Jay Shetty about the attention he gets from media outlets around his personal life. Recalling an announcement he made to step back from social media for his mental health, the British actor explained how his experience with the press’ reaction to this made him upset.
“They tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown,” the actor explained. “If I was having a mental breakdown, that’s not for you to report on. They took the story in the wrong direction.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about why the two are protective of their relationship.
“We don’t think that we owe it to anyone,” Holland explained. “[I]t’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
Back in August 2023, Zendaya spoke with Elle about how she and Holland try to balance their personal life with their public jobs. “It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist.”
