tom holland and zendaya moments

Tom Holland and Zendaya have spent years insisting they are private people, yet somehow they continue to give fans some of the sweetest celebrity couple moments on the internet. From viral interviews and red-carpet gestures to heartfelt birthday tributes, the Spider-Man stars have built a romance that has kept fans invested long after the credits rolled. Here are some of our favourite Tom Holland and Zendaya moments that made us feel very, very single.

Few celebrity love stories have captured fans’ attention quite like Holland (Uncharted, 2022) and Zendaya’s (The Drama, 2026). The pair first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), confirmed their romance in 2021, and got engaged in 2025. More recently, on 1 March 2026, People reported that Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, claimed the couple had already married, though neither Holland nor Zendaya has publicly addressed the speculation.

One of the couple’s sweetest recent moments came through Holland’s non-alcoholic beer brand, BERO. In a 1 June press release (via People), the actor revealed that he created the company’s new shandy line with Zendaya in mind. “To be honest, I created the BERO Shandy for Z,” Holland said. “She’s never been a beer drinker, so I wanted to bring something new to the table that she could enjoy,” he added. The thoughtful gesture quickly became another fan-favourite moment in the couple’s relationship.

The couple rarely posts about their relationship, which makes their birthday messages even more special. Fans still remember Holland’s “My MJ” birthday tribute to Zendaya, while Zendaya once described him as “the one who makes me the happiest” in a heartfelt birthday post. In another one, Tom wished her, “Happiest of birthdays to the one who makes me the happiest <3”.

Every year, the celebrity couple‘s messages become a reminder that some of the sweetest moments happen away from red carpets.

4. That IMDb interview where they could not stop smiling

Fans have revisited this interview countless times. While speaking with IMDb during the Spider-Man: No Way Home press tour, Holland and Zendaya spent much of the conversation teasing one another and exchanging smiles. The interview itself was routine, but their interactions quickly became the focus for viewers.

5. When Tom explained why he skips some of Zendaya’s red carpets

In a 2025 interview with Men’s Health, Holland explained why he does not always accompany Zendaya on red carpets. His reasoning was simple: “It’s her moment.” Rather than drawing attention to their relationship, he prefers to let her achievements take centre stage. The thoughtful explanation instantly won over fans.

6. Their hilarious height-difference story on The Graham Norton Show

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show while promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland and Zendaya shared a behind-the-scenes story about filming stunts together.
