Zendaya is often on Tom Holland’s mind — and his Google.
The Spider-Man actor, 28, revealed that he sometimes Googles his actress girlfriend to “check” to make sure she’s okay.
“The last thing I googled was actually Zendaya,” Holland admitted on Samah Dada’s On The Menu podcast while promoting his new non-alcoholic drink brand Bero. “I’m not on [social media], and I delete it when I’m not using it.”
“So, sometimes, like, it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing, but I’ll check to see if everything’s good and to make sure we’re all cool,” he further explained. So I just give her a little Google and look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good.’ “

The extent of Holland’s care for Zendaya was on full display at the New York City launch party for his Bero brand on Thursday, Oct. 24.
In a viral clip, the actor could be seen rescuing the Challengersstar from fans who swarmed her while asking for autographs, taking her hand and pulling her way from the crowd, asking them to “give us a little bit of space.”
He was also captured on video getting a photographer to move aside and make some room for him and Zendaya as they exited the event and went to their car.

“I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love,” she told the outlet last year. “You can’t hide. That’s not fun either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
“It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist,” she added.

However, the couple aren’t shy about expressing their feelings for each other and gratitude for how they met. Holland previously told Extra at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards that he and Zendaya often rewatch Spider-Man: Homecoming to “relive” that time in their lives.
“Zendaya and I will, every now and then, watch Spider-Man 1 and reminisce about being 19 and making those movies again,” he said.
“I love those movies, and I love savoring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it’s so special,” he added. “It’s such a luxury, such a gift to be able to sit down and sort of relive your youth.”
