Zendaya explains why she keeps her relationship with Tom Holland private

The Spider-Man stars are everyone's favourite couple, but fans don't actually know that much about them

They might be the cutest couple on the block who we're all obsessed with, but we don't exactly know that much about Zendaya and Tom Holland's relationship.

Fans have to stick Spider-Man on for the millionth time if they want to remind themselves of what kind of chemistry the pair share, as they are notoriously private about their personal lives.

Don't get me wrong - we get the odd red carpet appearance or tidbit from an interview, but we haven't exactly seen the couple on an episode of Mr and Mrs, have we?

Then again, Zendaya couldn't help but gush about her man during a recent interview with British Vogue, as she recalled how she was there to 'watch his life change in front of him' thanks to his Spider-Man success.

The Challengers star said: "My career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight.

"One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man."

She said it's been easier to come to terms with being famous with Tom by her side, saying she had become used to being thought of as an 'art piece you’re going to take a picture of'.

"I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life," Zendaya added.

Although the actress seems like she's come to terms with being a popular public figure, she isn't that keen on inviting everyone into her relationship with her other half.

The A-lister explained that she prefers to keep schtum about her life with Tom as they both felt 'robbed' of their privacy when they went public three years ago.

In an interview with Elle last year, Zendaya said: "Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can't not be a person and live my life and love the person I love.

"But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It's about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can't hide.

"That's not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now."

The couple kept their relationship a secret for months and it is something they did intentionally, which Tom explained was due to the fact that 'privacy isn't really in our control anymore'.

"Our relationship is something that we are quite protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom also told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023.

"We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."

The Uncharted actor also said he feels he shares enough of his life with the world as it is, so he wants to keep his moments with Zendaya all to himself.

And who can blame him?
