During a BuzzFeed News video interview in October, Timothée Chalamet was asked who is Zendaya's "biggest celebrity crush" to which he answered, “Easy, Tom Holland!" Zendaya did not confirm or deny but she did immediately start laughing.

In a GQ interview published in November, Holland vaguely opened up about his relationship with Zendaya. "I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private because I share so much of my life with the world anyway," he said. “We sort of felt robbed of our privacy. I don’t think it’s about not being ready -- it’s just that we didn’t want to [talk about it]."

December was a crucial month for the couple, who shared many special intimate moments on the red carpet while promoting the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Additionally, Zendaya showed Holland some love on the 'Gram. "My Spider-Man, I’m so proud of you, some things never change and good thing," she captioned a post.
