LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zendaya and Tom Holland are flourishing as a couple after receiving approval from both of their families.

The 27-year-old actor and actress first met while working on the “set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016”. 

Despite their on-screen chemistry, they have largely kept their real-life relationship private, though they confirmed their romance in 2021.

According to an exclusive source, Zendaya and Tom Holland’s relationship status has become stronger after getting approval from both of their parents.

The source shared, “These two are the real deal. They started as besties, and that’s [why] their relationship is rock solid," as per US Magazine.

Holland, and Zendaya, have maintained a “low-key” romance since the beginning, which the insider says is one of the things their close circle appreciates most about them.

“Their families are all in” on the couple’s relationship, the source added. “[They] think they’re perfect together.”

“They’re each other’s biggest supporters,” the insider notes, adding, “They get each other.”

Tom Holland and Zendaya's relationship timeline

Despite remaining in the public eye since they met on the set of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in 2016, the British actor and the ‘Challengers’ actress have managed to keep their bond unaffected by fame.

After portraying love interests Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, Holland and Zendaya sparked romance rumors as their off-camera relationship grew stronger.

It wasn’t until July 2021 that they confirmed their relationship when they were photographed kissing in a car in Los Angeles. The following month, they attended a friend’s wedding together in California.

Throughout their relationship, Holland and Zendaya have reunited on screen for two more Spider-Man films, 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. They have also started sharing more about their private lives with fans.

Zendaya informed in September 2022 that the first person she messaged after winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Emmys that year was her "boyfriend."

Holland expressed his admiration for his girlfriend in June 2023, sharing with Buzzfeed, “I’m locked up, so I’m happy and in love.”

Earlier this year, Zendaya reciprocated the affection during her interview with Buzzfeed. When questioned about which of her 'Dune' co-stars had the most charisma, the actress turned the tables and indicated her significant other.

“I don’t know. Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody’s kind of got their own,” Zendaya asserted in February. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but personally works for me, is Mr Tom Holland.”

She hailed Holland,  “I’m more shy and kind of quiet, So it takes a bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people, getting to know people.”
