Tom Holland and Zendaya’s romance became public over the summer when the two were photographed together in a car. However, it wasn’t their choice for people to know about their relationship, Holland and Zendaya told GQ in the magazine’s new interview. The two stars were open about the struggles they face keeping that part of their life together private.
Zendaya and Tom Holland also confirmed that they are very much in love with each other and hope their journey together can just belong to them and not the world. Holland mentioning the kissing video that went viral, “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.
Spider-man actor added, “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.” However, according to Holland, the couple simply preferred to keep the relationship to themselves, instead of revealing it to the public. “I don’t think it’s about not being ready. It’s just that we didn’t want to.”
Meanwhile, in terms of what he does share, he said, “It’s not a conversation that I can have without her. You know, I respect her too much to say… This isn’t my story. It’s our story. And we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together.”

However, Zendaya added through phone that the interest in their romance “was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive. The equal sentiment we both share is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own… I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.”
Holland also mentioned Zendaya’s years-long impact on him as he adjusted to fame, by saying, “Having her in my life was so instrumental to my sanity.” “She is so good at being the role model for young guys and girls. When anyone comes up, like, ‘Can I have a picture?,’ it’s never a bad time. Whereas my initial reaction was, ‘Why are you talking to me? Leave me alone.'”
