  • In July, Tom Holland was spotted out on a date with a mystery woman, sparking a ton of dating rumors.

  • It was later revealed that the woman was family friend, Olivia Bolton.

  • Tom revealed to GQ that he did not enjoy the attention that incident fueled.

A million hearts shipping Zendaya and Tom Holland broke when he was spotted getting cozy with a mystery date while in London back in July. Despite both denying rumors that they were dating several times, fans of the Spider-Man co-stars really thought they had some sort of cute, secret relationship going. But Tom Holland killed all hope of that when photos surfaced of him spending time with longtime family friend, Olivia Bolton. In the pics, Tom and Olivia were seen laughing and holding hands, sparking rumors that Olivia was Tom's new bae. Tom hasn't really opened up about his dating life, but he told GQ that he never expected the kind of attention he got when those photos surfaced and he was actually not here for it.

Tom told GQ that it was the first time he had ever received that kind of exposure. "It’s the first time I’ve ever kind of been in the tabloids. It’s the first time something like this has ever really happened to me,” Tom said, calling the whole thing a "shock to the system." “But it’s something that you look at and you go, ‘Oh, well, I just don’t put myself in that situation again.'"

Tom also told GQ that he considers himself to be a very private person. "If you do a Google Search, I’m not a tabloid person,” he told GQ. “I don’t like living in the spotlight. I’m quite good at only being in the spotlight when I need to.”

But he said he did learn something from the experience. “I was just, 'Whoa, what is going on here?' And it was just a little stressful. You know, it was a wake-up of, like: 'This is what your life is now. So just be wary.'

Tom enjoys his private life, he said. So, don't expect any new photos of him living his best life to surface anytime soon.
