The romance whispers turned into headlines in July 2021 when paparazzi photos captured the pair locking lips in a car. However, the duo kept their private world tightly under wraps, choosing to reveal their relationship at their own pace. Come September 2021, the duo went Instagram official on Zendaya’s birthday in a heartfelt post shared by Tom. “My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays,” he shared, an affectionate nod to Zendaya’s on-screen persona.
Their private dynamics unfolded occasionally on social media, with Zendaya reciprocating the sweet gesture on Tom’s birthday in June 2022. “Happiest of birthdays to the one who makes me the happiest <3,” she wrote at the time.
Despite their celebrity status, the couple has maintained an air of mystery around their relationship, offering only glimpses in interviews and press junkets. According to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly in June 2023, the pair really do their best to keep their romance “under wraps.”
“Before they began seeing each other, they had both always been very private when it came to their personal lives,” the source said at the time. “It was something that bonded them in the early stages of their relationship because they were both on the same page when it came to avoiding public speculation.”
But now, the pair are sparking speculation of an entirely different kind. So, did Tom Holland and Zendaya break up? Keep on reading ahead for what we know so far.
Did Tom Holland and Zendaya break up?
So, did Tom Holland and Zendaya break up? The couple first sparked rumors of a split after fans noticed a surprising move on social media. In early January, the Dune actress unfollowed everyone on her Instagram — including Tom.
However, the Spider-Man actor finally addressed the swirling breakup speculations in a video obtained by TMZ on January 12. In the clip, the 27-year-old actor, who was stopped by reporters during a walk through the streets of Los Angeles, unequivocally shut down the breakup rumors: “No no no no, absolutely not,” he said, confirming that he and Zendaya are, in fact, still together. Phew!
As for Zendaya, the exact reason for why she unfollowed everyone remains unknown, but it does seem to be linked to marketing efforts for her upcoming movie, Challengers, directed by Luca Guadagnino. She shared a photo of the film’s poster following her social media purge, captioning the post, “Challengers April 26th,” before wishing her fans a happy new year.
