In July 2017, Spider-Man: Homecoming was released in theaters with Zendaya playing the role of Michelle or MJ while Tom plays Peter aka Spider-Man who later becomes his boyfriend. Around August 2017, Zendaya shut down dating rumors while on Entertainment Tonight where she said; “It happens all the time, and of course we expected it. I mean, it comes with the territory. It comes with the job, so it’s all good.”

In December 2017, Zendaya and Holland were having dinner with their parents Claire Stoermer and dad Kazembe Ajamu Coleman in New York City. He finally met her family.

Zendaya and Tom once again sparked their relationship rumors in February 2021 when he accidentally gave Zendaya’s Instagram handle a cheeky placement in a social media upload. When asked about the handle placement, by British GQ, Tom answered that;

“You mean, because I tagged Zendaya over my groin in an Instagram post? That was so funny; it was obviously a mistake,” he explained. “But in all seriousness, it is also incredibly frustrating. It’s very nerve-racking.

It means that if you are dating someone, you have to be really conscious of their feelings, because if something does happen between the two of you, it’s not just happening between the two of you, it’s happening in front of the entire world. And it can be very complicated. It’s one of the things I worry about most, of all the things in my career.”
