Tom Holland calls Zendaya by rare nickname 'Maree' at 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' event

ROME, ITALY: Tom Holland and Zendaya have spent years keeping much of their relationship away from the spotlight, which is why even the smallest personal moments between them tend to grab attention.

During a recent stop on the 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' press tour in Rome, Holland unexpectedly revealed a sweet detail about their relationship.

The actor was heard calling out to Zendaya using a nickname that fans had never heard before, offering a rare glimpse into the couple's private world amid ongoing marriage buzz.

The moment happened during the Rome premiere, where the couple appeared together as part of the film's promotional tour. While speaking on the red carpet, Holland was overheard calling Zendaya "Maree," a reference to her middle name.

While chatting with reporters on the red carpet on June 23, Holland turned to Zendaya for help recalling the name of a favorite gelato spot. Calling out to her using her middle name, he asked, "Maree, do you remember the name of that place?"

Zendaya, who was speaking with reporters a short distance away, immediately knew what he meant and replied, "Giolitti's!"

The exchange suggested that Holland regularly uses the nickname, as Zendaya responded without hesitation. In a separate moment, she also shared their post-event plans, telling reporters, "That's where we're going after this."

The brief interaction may have seemed casual, but it quickly caught the attention of fans online. Holland has often referred to Zendaya simply as "Z" in public, making "Maree" feel like a more personal and affectionate nickname.

For those unfamiliar, Zendaya's full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, though she has built her career using only her first name. In a 2016 interview with Allure, the actress explained that she preferred the simplicity of a one-name stage identity, taking inspiration from legendary performers like Cher and Prince.

The rumors have only intensified as Zendaya has repeatedly been spotted wearing a striking diamond ring on her left ring finger at several red-carpet appearances. The couple have also sparked conversation through a series of sweet public moments.
