Zendaya Gushes Over Tom Holland, Says Working With Her Fiancé Feels Natural and Special

Zendaya has offered fans a rare and heartfelt glimpse into her life with fiancé Tom Holland, revealing that acting beside him is one of her favourite parts of work and life. The 'Euphoria' actress described Holland as not just the love of her life but also her "favorite person to work with" during an open interview in early 2026. As the couple continues to balance major upcoming movie projects and their relationship, Zendaya's thoughtful words defines the bond they've built over years together—both on and off screen. 

A Loving Partnership That Started on Set

The romance between Zendaya and Tom Holland started years ago on the set of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming,' where their chemistry on screen eventually developed into a romantic relationship in real life. Despite keeping their romance a secret at first, they made it public in 2021 after paparazzi photos of them kissing surfaced, delighting fans of the Marvel franchise.

The two have continued to be incredibly supportive of one another over the years, frequently balancing busy schedules while keeping a devoted, stable relationship. This intimacy is evident in Zendaya's most recent remarks, where she praised Holland's "huge calming presence" on set and how his energy not only calms her but also makes everyone around them feel comfortable. Her words hinted at a level of comfort and teamwork that many couples strive for but rarely express so publicly. 

With consideration and regard for one another, their partnership has survived the bright spotlight of fame. Zendaya has previously discussed the need of protecting one's private life, admitting that although some aspects of fame cannot be avoided, the couple tries to preserve what they can, from regular dinners out to private moments away from cameras.

Balancing Stardom and Privacy

In her interview, Zendaya also reflected on the delicate balance she and Holland maintain between public attention and private life. Despite being international celebrities with careers spanning major franchises, red carpet appearances, and studio press tours, both actors have made a conscious effort to avoid letting fame consume their lives. Zendaya said they don't want to hide from life's simple pleasures—like going out for dinner—yet they fiercely guard the parts of their lives that can remain private.

Holland's home life is divided between London, where he was born, and Los Angeles. Zendaya shared that time spent in the U.K. feels like "coming home" to her, as she's grown to love the culture and even jokes about British quirks, though she still doesn't quite understand the appeal of certain local snacks!

In terms of their professional endeavors, 2026 is jam-packed with fascinating projects, such as co-starring roles in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and Christopher Nolan's mythic adaptation 'The Odyssey,' where Zendaya and Holland explore entirely different genres together. Their ability to work well together without experiencing any awkwardness or discomfort is a testament to the strength of their relationship.

Fans are still enthralled with their path from co-stars to fiancés navigating Hollywood together, and with major releases coming up, the world will undoubtedly be watching as they develop both personally and professionally in the years to come.
