Zendaya and Tom Holland were dubbed “The Perfect Couple” long before those pictures of them sharing a sneaky kiss emerged. In fact, it all began when they were cast alongside each other in the lead roles for Spider-Man: Homecoming , with Tom in the role of Peter Parker and Zendaya as Michelle Jones (MJ).
Can you really blame fans for shipping the pair for so long? After all, the various Spiderman franchises do have a habit of creating couples IRL. In the 2002 film Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst created the iconic ‘upside-down kiss’ as Peter Parker and Mary-Jane (also MJ, keep up!) and started dating soon after.
Although the pair had split up before their third (and final) film Spider-Man 3, a new spider-couple, in the form of Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, were soon ready to carry the baton. Also playing the lead roles of Peter Parker and Mary-Jane (MJ) in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, Andrew and Emma met in 2010 and officially went their separate ways in 2015.
Is it Zendaya and Tom Holland’s turn to fly the flag for romance in the Spider-verse? It certainly looks like it.
As Zendaya becomes the youngest recipient (ever) of the CFDA’s Fashion Icon award, Tom took to Instagram to share his admiration, writing, “Naaa stop it ????. An incredible achievement for the most incredible person. Congrats @zendaya and @luxurylaw you guys deserve every bit of this.”
Zendaya and her rumoured boyfriend Tom also have incredible on-screen chemistry, as the trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home shows.
If that wasn’t enough, we’ve also gathered everything we know about their relationship timeline so far, from meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming to Tom’s adorable birthday tribute to her.
