Side-By-Side Pics Of Zendaya And Tom Holland On Their First Red Carpet Together To The Latest
Since meeting on the set of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in 2016 to officially going public with their relationship in July 2021, longtime couple Zendaya and Tom Holland have had fans swooning over their somewhat mysterious romance. The two have always kept their relationship out of the limelight, remaining tight-lipped about their personal lives and pretty reserved during public outings, which only fueled public fascination.
Although they revealed little about their relationship over the years, Zendaya sparked engagement rumors at the 2025 Golden Globes, when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring. It was later confirmed by TMZ that Holland had proposed during the 2024 holiday season. Fast forward to 2026, and speculations flared that Zendaya and Tom Holland were definitely already married. Holland confirmed the gossip was true that June during an Esquire interview when he told the outlet that he didn't have to address marriage rumors with his family because they had all attended the actual wedding.
Their marriage marks the latest chapter in their decade-long friendship and five-year-long romance — an impressive feat in Hollywood — making it the perfect occasion to take a trip down memory lane. Below, we compare side-by-side photos of Zendaya and Holland from one of their earliest red carpet appearances together to their most recent. On the left, the pair were photographed at the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" photocall in Madrid, Spain, on June 14, 2017, and on the right at "The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day" premiere in Madrid, Spain, on June 15, 2026 – their first red carpet appearance together in four years.

Has marriage made Zendaya and Tom Holland more candid?
Since tying the knot, the once super private couple appears to be a little more open about their union. So far, Tom Holland has unbridled his affection toward his new wife, describing her as his greatest source of happiness and support in a June 2026 interview with Esquire. "I found my person. She's my best friend, and I'm the happiest I have ever been when I'm with her, but I have also never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period," Holland said. The statement validates key flags astrologers found that confirmed Zendaya and Holland's fate.
The actor explained that sharing similar experiences in the spotlight has only strengthened their bond. "Our business can present very stressful situations, and it's really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time," he continued. "We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it's like to live this life."
Zendaya, on the other hand, surprised fans on Instagram by offering a rare glimpse into their marriage with an unexpected display of affection. While promoting the latest "Spider-Man" film, she shared a carousel of photos from Rome, posing solo in several shots wearing a shimmering red-and-blue ensemble. The last photo (below), however, captured the tender moment between the two as Holland kisses her. "Just jumping on to say hi from our stop in Rome," she wrote in the caption to the delight of fans. "The last slide, I love [you] both sm," one person commented. Another overwhelmed fan added, "The last pic, OMG Im gonna cry."
