Tom Holland and Zendaya, who play Peter and MJ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, denied romance rumors for years. Now, they're married.
- Tom Holland and Zendaya star as Peter and MJ in Marvel's current "Spider-Man" franchise.
- Their relationship was confirmed in July 2021 after they were photographed kissing in a car.
- They got engaged in 2024 and were married before March 2026.
Tom Holland and Zendaya have come a long way since meeting over a decade ago.
The two stars first shared the screen together in Sony and Marvel's 2017 movie "Spider-Man: Homecoming," with Holland portraying the titular web-slinger and Zendaya starring as MJ. Over the years, they spoke fondly about their friendship, while also dodging romance rumors — that is, until they were photographed kissing in 2021.
Since then, the two have been relatively tight-lipped about their relationship, but have given fans small glimpses of their bond. In January 2025, Zendaya walked the Golden Globes red carpet with a ring on that finger, but remained mum about their relationship status. Holland, on the other hand, went from calling her his girlfriend in 2022 to his fiancée in 2025 to his wife in 2026.
Now, they're two of the highest-grossing movie stars of all time: Their two recent releases, "The Odyssey" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," became major global box-office hits. If you include the "Avengers" films and "Dune," they're near-unbeatable.
Here's a complete timeline of their relationship from costars to friends to spouses.
Sometime before March 2016: Holland and Zendaya met during her audition process for "Spider-Man: Homecoming."

Holland was cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2015, following multiple auditions around the world. He would go on to make his Marvel debut in "Captain America: Civil War," released in May 2016.
In March 2016, Deadline reported that Zendaya would join him in "Homecoming."
"My first meeting with Zendaya was very embarrassing, actually, for me," Holland recalled during a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, explaining that it "wasn't my smoothest moment."
Zendaya recalled their chemistry read differently, telling Variety in 2017: "He says when we first met it was super awkward because he went for a handshake and I went for a hug. But I don't remember that. I thought it was cool."
The actor did say she was "worried" because Holland is "so much shorter" than she is, but the stars sat down during the audition, so it went well.
Holland also told THR that he "didn't really know what to expect with Zendaya," but he was relieved when he met her.
"I was so surprised and so happy she's one of the most professional, hardworking people I've ever met in my life," he said. "We were at the screen tests for 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and we did the first scene together, and I think the producers cast her, like, then. Before she even left the room, they knew that she was going to play her character."
The feelings were mutual, with Zendaya telling THR: "He's so nice, he's one of the nicest people I think I've ever met. He's a good dude, and so it's really good to see good things going on for a good person."
July 10, 2016: Holland posted his first photo with Zendaya on Instagram.

The two stars, as well as other "Homecoming" cast members, were present for Marvel's panel at the San Diego Convention Center. First-look footage from "Homecoming" was shown at the panel, and the actors teased what fans could expect from the movie.
Holland posted a photo of himself, Laura Harrier (Liz), Tony Revolori (Flash Thompson), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), and Zendaya on-stage with the caption: "Team Spidey ❤️ #spidermanhomecoming #comiccon."
He also shared a video with the cast, with the caption: "What a crazy weekend its been. Blessed to be able to share it with these beautiful people 😘. Love you guys. Thank you thank you thank you #spidermanhomecoming #comiccon."

Zendaya shared the same video, with the caption: "I think we have world's best real-life Spider-Man....an absolutely beautiful day at @nyphospital with two of my favorite people @tomholland2013 @lifeisaloha."
May 7, 2017: Holland and Zendaya's now-iconic "Lip Sync Battle" aired on MTV, cementing its place in pop culture.
The Paramount Network
Zendaya knocked out her performance of Bruno Mars' "24K Magic." But it was Holland's sensational, jaw-dropping mashup of Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" and Rihanna's "Umbrella" that stole the show.
"I just knew that at that point in my life, no one really knew who I was," Holland told Esquire in 2021. "And I was doing this show with Zendaya, who is obviously incredibly famous, and I was really nervous about being this random guy who everyone was like, 'Who is this person? Why are you on the stage?'"
He added: "So I just thought to myself like, I'm going to have to just do something incredibly bold, and if they watch it and don't know who I am, they'll still be entertained by it."
And entertained they were. The original video has had more than 35 million views as of August 2026.
"I get more compliments on the lip sync battle than I do for any of my actual work, ever, to the point where now I'm over it," Holland said in his 2019 Wired Autocomplete interview.
The actor later told Esquire that it was the most nerve-racking thing he's ever done and he wouldn't do it again.
"It was amazing that I got to do it with Zendaya, and yes, she did go there to have some fun, and yes, I did go there to destroy," he said. "But oh my God, that was easily the most stressful thing I've ever done in my life."
Meanwhile, Zendaya told Entertainment Weekly that she and Holland are "very competitive with everything" because of their battle.
"I feel like now I have to beat him in everything else in life because that specific moment happened," she said.

"They started seeing each other while they were filming 'Spider-Man,'" an anonymous source told People. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye, but they've gone on vacations with each other, and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."
The actors then took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to joke about the report.
"Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years! hbu @TomHolland1996 ???" Zendaya wrote at the time.
In response, Holland said: "@Zendaya Does the press tour count ??"

"I think the cool part is that in this he likes her for all of her quirks and the weird things she's into, the things that her whole life have made her a little bit of a loner," she said. "I think he's a little bit of a loner too, and that's why they find that connection."

In an interview with Backstage, the actor said that he, Zendaya, and Batalon "all became best mates" when they filmed the first "Spider-Man" movie.
"She was so helpful in the process of my life changing, because not only are you making big films and you're traveling the world, but everyone starts to know who you are. And you have to behave differently," he said. "You have a responsibility to kind of uphold this idea of being a role model to young kids. And, arguably, she's the best at that."
Holland called Zendaya, who rose to fame through her starring role on the Disney Channel show "Shake It Up," as "the perfect person."
"It was so wonderful to have someone like her in my corner, to help me grow through that process," he said.

"Having her as a friend has been so valuable to the success and happiness of my career and life," he said.

He also gushed about Zendaya's performance in the film "Malcolm & Marie," saying: "I was so proud of her, and you could tell that it was a real passion project for her, and she was really, really proud of it when she showed it to us. And it was just really nice to see that side of her."

When Zendaya noticed, she gave him advice that "totally changed the way I am able to be more comfortable in public."
The "Chaos Walking" star also said that it's "incredibly frustrating" when people speculate about his love life.
"It's very nerve-racking," he said. "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."

Zendaya said that "it was so much fun" filming the third "Spider-Man" movie. But it's also "kind of bittersweet" because she wasn't sure at the time if they'd get to star in another installment together.

The actor said she's seen tweets about her starring alongside some of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs (Zac Efron, Timothée Chalamet, Elordi, and John David Washington, to name a few) but explained that a potential partner has a lot of people in her life to impress.

In the November 2021 cover of InStyle, released the month prior, Zendaya said that from the perspective of an actor, she appreciates that Holland "really loves being Spider-Man."
"It's a lot of pressure — you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man," the "Dune" star said. "I think he handled that so well. And seeing him at work, even though he's not a Virgo, he is a perfectionist."
"He's a fun time," Zendaya added of her costar. "Very charismatic, can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat."

Early in the interview, they were asked to name each other's biggest celebrity crush.

In a cover story for GQ's Men of the Year issue, Holland said that he and Zendaya "sort of felt robbed of our privacy" when paparazzi took photos of them in July.
"One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn't really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world," he said.
Zendaya shared similar comments, telling GQ: "It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive."
"I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other," she said.

"There's a particular stunt — Spider-Man swings us on top of the bridge, we eventually jump off of [it], and he's supposed to gently rest MJ on the bridge and walk away from her," Zendaya explained during an appearance on the "Graham Norton Show."
"Because of our height difference, I would land before him, because my feet land before he does," she said.

When asked about the secret to his charisma in an interview with BuzzFeed that went live the same day, Holland replied: "I have no rizz whatsoever. I have limited rizz," he said. "I need you to fall in love with me, really, for it to work."

"Carpentry is something I just really enjoy," Holland told UNILAD in a video segment. "I love it. I've made my mom's kitchen table. I made my mom's office. I've built all the cupboards in my bedroom. I built a little birdhouse for my grandad."
"I fixed my girlfriend's door once really early on in our relationship," he added. "I was hanging out at her house, and her door was broken. I was like, 'I'm gonna fix that door for you.' And now, we're in love."
Holland's comments were reminiscent of a previous story he told during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in December 2019.
At the time, Holland told the talk show host that he gained woodworking skills after his mom sent him to a carpentry school as a kid.

"My relationship is the thing that I keep most sacred," he continued. "I don't talk about it. I try my best to keep it as private as possible. We both feel very strongly that that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple. So I do try to keep as removed from [Hollywood] as possible."
