In a rare and insightful interview, power couple Zendaya and Tom Holland have offered a glimpse into their relationship, the challenges of fame, and their plans for the future, including starting a family.
Zendaya, known for her roles in hit shows like “Euphoria” and the “Spider-Man” films, praised her boyfriend Tom Holland for the graceful way he handled the overnight success that came with playing the iconic web-slinger. “We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of going, and his changed overnight,” she reflected. “One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man.”
The two have been linked for years, but have remained notoriously private about their relationship. Zendaya shared an anecdote about a visit to the Louvre in Paris, where they were warned against going due to the potential for a frenzy, but decided to go anyway. “It was actually fine,” she said. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life.”
However, Zendaya expressed concerns about the impact of fame on her future children. “I don’t necessarily want my kids to have to deal with this,” she said, contemplating her long-term public-facing role. “What does my future look like? Am I going to be a public-facing person forever?”
Despite these worries, the couple seems to be navigating their high-profile relationship with grace and maturity. Zendaya is extremely proud of Holland’s upcoming role in the West End production of “Romeo and Juliet,” saying, “I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”
As Zendaya and Tom Holland continue to navigate the complexities of fame and their relationship, their fans can’t help but be excited for what the future holds. Whether it’s more collaborative projects or the pitter-patter of little feet, one thing is certain: this power couple is in it for the long haul, and they’re doing it on their own terms.
