Tom Holland, the 27-year-old “Spider-Man” star, has reassured fans that his relationship with Zendaya, also 27, remains intact despite her recent decision to unfollow him on Instagram.
The couple, who have been together since 2021, have maintained a low-key relationship, valuing their privacy.
Holland addressed the concerns raised by fans after Zendaya, known for her role in “Euphoria,” cleared out her Instagram following list, which included unfollowing Holland.
With a massive following of 184 million on the social media platform, Zendaya’s action of not following anyone, including Holland, sparked speculation among fans.
In a recent interaction with TMZ in Los Angeles, Holland was asked about the status of their relationship. He responded, “No, absolutely not,” confirming that they have not broken up.
This statement puts to rest the rumors and concerns about their relationship status.
Both Holland and Zendaya have been vocal about the importance of keeping their relationship private. In a 2021 interview with GQ, Holland expressed his desire to keep his private life away from the public eye, stating, “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.”
Zendaya echoed similar sentiments in an interview with Elle, acknowledging the public aspect of her life but emphasizing her control over what she chooses to share. She said, “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public… But also, I do have control over what I choose to share.”
The couple’s decision to maintain their privacy has been a consistent theme in their relationship. Holland told The Hollywood Reporter, “Our relationship is something that we are quite protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible… We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
Despite the recent social media changes, Holland’s confirmation and the couple’s previous statements highlight their commitment to each other and their desire to keep their relationship personal and away from the public spotlight.
