Tom Holland is getting more comfortable talking about his relationship with Zendaya it seems.
Holland, 28, joked during the Monday, December 18, episode of the “Dish” podcast that film “studios love” when he and girlfriend Zendaya, 28, work together on movies because they only need to book “one hotel room.”
“Separate drivers. We’re not crazy,” Holland quipped, teasing the upcoming Christopher Nolan movie he and Zendaya are set to star in alongside Robert Pattinson and Matt Damon.
On a serious note, Holland added that their relationship is his “saving grace” as they both navigate fame.
“Best thing that’s ever happened to me,” the British star added.
Holland and Zendaya met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming and by 2017, fans started to wonder whether they were more than friends. Initially, the duo denied their relationship as they continued to star in the Marvel film franchise. (Holland and Zendaya appeared in three Spider-Man movies together, with rumors of them returning for a fourth.)
By July 2021, however, their relationship was confirmed after Holland and Zendaya were photographed making out in his car.
“Zendaya and Tom started off as really great friends and stayed that way for a long while before things turned romantic,” a source told Us Weekly at the time.
While the couple hasn’t allowed the public to fully enter their relationship, both Holland and Zendaya have started to speak more openly about being together.
“I think that’s where Zendaya and I have been such a strong couple is in the spirit of being able to relate with one another on something that is very, very unique,” he said during Monday’s podcast episode. “I think it’s just relying on the people around you.”
Holland added, “It’s about being a little bit more organized, knowing where you want to go and, you know, there are restaurants that have little back rooms and stuff where you can have a more private night. But at the end of the day, [this level of fame] it’s no hardship.”
Zendaya recently shared a similar sentiment about working alongside her boyfriend.
“It’s actually strangely comfortable. It’s like second nature, if anything. You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside,” she told Vanity Fair in November 2024. “I love working with him. He’s so talented and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read.”
