Zendaya and Tom Holland’s Relationship Timeline

While Holland didn’t attend the Met, most likely due to his play’s rehearsal schedule, the couple has still attended red carpet events in the past.

In 2021, they wrapped their arms around each other at the Spider-Man: No Way Home in Los Angeles, in which they also play a high-school couple. Holland, for his part, looked dapper in a brown double-breasted suit as Zendaya commanded attention in a plunging Valentino Haute Couture design complete with spiderwebs.
