SINCE starring in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming back in 2016, speculation about the pair’s romantic life has been rife.
It all started with that press tour, when promoting their movie became a whirlwind of dating rumours – which they vehemently denied at the time.

Are Zendaya and Tom Holland dating?
In 2017 the pair took to trolling fans on social media, claiming they were little more than friends and co-stars.
Even when their relationship was confirmed to People by a source close to the pair back in July 2017, both actors continued to deny the rumours.
“They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye, but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another.” the source said.
“They’re both really ambitious, and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up. They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together. They have great banter back and forth.”
This continued for five years, with Tom even referring to the speculation as “frustrating” in an interview with GQ.
It took until 2021 for the pair to go public with their relationship.
At the time, the Spider-Man stars were caught kissing in Los Angeles in exclusive photos obtained by The Sun.
Tom later told GQ that the pair had felt robbed of their privacy, but it did mark a more publicly open approach to their relationship.
The pair have become this generation’s latest heartthrobs, with plenty of fans now speculating about potential engagements.
Most recently, the happy couple were spotted watching a tennis match in the BNP Paribas Open.
They sat courtside, enjoying the tennis, each other’s company, and singing along to Whitney Houston‘s hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”.
When did Zendaya and Tom Holland break up?
Much like the circulating rumours back in 2017, the pair are continuously subjected to claims that they have broken up.
Earlier this year, Tom was forced to debunk the latest rumours that the Spider-Man co-stars had broken up.
On January 12, Tom was approached by a TMZ reporter who asked if the world’s favourite couple had split up.
Tom was quick to respond by saying: “No, absolutely not.”
Although it is unclear exactly how long the pair have been dating, it doesn’t seem like they’ve split up at any point.
What have Zendaya and Tom Holland starred in together?
Both actors are part of Sony’s Spider-Man franchise. Sony obtained Spider Man rights after Marvel sold them in 1998 but continued allowing the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Zendaya and Holland, called Tomdaya by fans, first starred in Spider Man: Homecoming back in 2017 together.
From there, they appeared in the sequel, Spider Man: Far from Home in 2019, and then Spider Man: No Way Home, which wasreleased in December 2021.
It wasn’t until a few months prior to the release of No Way Home that the couple publicly confirmed their romance.
Did Tom Holland Date Nadia Parkes?
At the same time as the swirling Tom Holland and Zendaya dating rumours were rumours that Tom was dating Nadia Parkes.
After the Daily Mail reported that the pair had been dating for two months, Tom took to Instagram to post photos of the pair.
At the time the source said that that Nadia was staying with Tom, his brother, and a friend at their London flat.
The source said: “It was early days for Tom and Nadia when the lockdown was announced in London.
“They made the decision to isolate together, and things have been going great between them.
“Tom has told friends and family they’re in an official relationship and living together so soon into their romance has only made them stronger.”
Yet, not long after, Tom was confirmed to be in a relationship with Zendaya – who he is still with.
