They shared an undeniable chemistry. Although they denied dating at the time, sources close to them revealed they had been dating during the movie’s filming.
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Relationship Timeline
While these reports of secretly dating kept their fans and admirers excited, Zendaya and Holland soon confirmed they weren’t truly officially dating. In 2018, Holland’s occasional uploads of Zendaya on his Instagram led “shippers” to conclude it was official between the actors. However, the prospect of a romance came crashing down when rumors of Zendaya and her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi began spreading in August 2019. Zendaya, who mentioned in an X (Twitter) post in July 2017 that she hadn’t taken a vacation in years, was spotted vacationing in Greece with Jacob Elordi.

Not only had Holland and Parkes split, but Zendaya and Tom Holland were photographed kissing in his car in Los Angeles. The famous kissing photo trended on X, with fans and shippers celebrating the long-awaited romance and union between Zendaya and Holland. For more than a year after that, the couple refused to confirm or deny they were dating. However, since they never explicitly denied it but would prefer their lives were kept private, it only fuelled speculations that they were officially dating. Fast forward to the 2022 Emmys, Zendaya officially confirms dating Holland. In answering an interview question, she admitted her boyfriend was the first person she texted about her win. In the interview, Zendaya stated that since her mother was present at the ceremony, her boyfriend was the first person she texted. Conveniently, Tom Holland didn’t attend the 2022 Emmys.
