Zendaya reflected on working with her partner Tom Holland in two upcoming projects releasing this year in a new profile, where she said that returning for the latest Spider-Man film felt like “coming home.”
The Euphoria star and English actor met when they began working on Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first movie from the film franchise with Holland as its lead. With his fourth Spidey entry set to release this summer, the couple are also both starring in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
Zendaya clarified in her profile with Elle that she does not have any scenes with Holland in The Odyssey, which allowed her to watch him act on set. “I could have cried, I was so proud,” she said.
The Emmy Award winner also gushed about their time collaborating on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, calling it a “dream.”
“And then Spider-Man was a dream; I get to go to work every day with my best friend, the person that I love,” she said of Holland. “We bring our dogs to work; it’s like a family affair. We grew up on those movies! It’s like coming home.”
Zendaya was also asked by the outlet if she’d confirm rumors that she and Holland have tied the knot, to which she said, “No, I’m not going to do that. They’re always searching for something.” Major speculation that they got married in secret sparked after her longtime stylist Law Roach told Access Hollywood at the 2026 Actor Awards that their wedding had already occurred.
“The wedding has already happened. You missed it,” he said, which prompted the reporter to clarify, “Is that true?”
“It’s very true,” Law Roach said with a laugh.
Zendaya has been asked about their alleged nuptials quite a bit as of late, particularly because of the wedding theming surrounding her starring turn in A24’s The Drama, which centers on an engaged couple who navigates a revelation before their wedding date.
The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day will premiere two weeks after one another (the former film opens on July 17; the latter releases on July 31). It’s been quite a busy year for Zendaya already, and aside from those two pending projects, she will close out 2026 with Dune 3 on Dec. 18.
Holland reflected on the business coming his way with the release of both The Odyssey and his fourth Spider-Man movie in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He discussed the aspects of promoting the films, and specifically noted that doing interviews alongside his partner as a bright spot of the whirlwind press cycle.
“I love how it’s changed because I think it feels like we’ve created an environment where people promoting movies can be more authentic to who they are… I’m someone that really protects my personal life at all costs, but I will always trade a podcast with a really, really fun host over sitting in a hotel room and doing a hundred interviews in a day,” said Holland. “That said, those can be really fun, too. When it’s Zendaya and Jacob [Batalon] and I together doing interviews, it’s always a hoot.”
