Tom Holland and Zendaya’s romance stays off the red carpet.
The British actor, 28, told Men’s Health in an interview published Thursday why he doesn’t walk the red carpet with his famous girlfriend at her premieres.
“Because it’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us,” he said.

The last time Holland and Zendaya, 28, posed on a red carpet together was at the 2021 “Spider-Man: No Way Home” premiere.
Zendaya didn’t have her boyfriend by her side on the carpets for “Challengers” and “Dune: Part Two” last year.

The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2017 after they landed starring roles in “Spiderman: Homecoming.”

They kept their romance under wraps for years, until they were spotted kissing inside a car in Los Angeles in July 2021.
The stars rarely speak about their romance, save an occasional sappy tribute on the ‘gram or a snap captured by eagle-eyed paparazzi.

But in his Men’s Health interview, Holland gave a little insight into his private life with Zendaya.
He revealed that they share two dogs, Noon and Daphne.
Holland also said that he wants a quieter life once he starts a family.
“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore. Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth,” he shared.

Last month, the “Avengers: Endgame” star talked about his holiday plans with Zendaya on the “Dish” podcast.
“I am gonna be in America this year, I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we’ll be is a secret,” he shared.

Holland also said, “I think what we’d like to start doing is, rather than spending it with each family each year, is to bring the families together. That’s what I think we want to do next time. This time, because we’re both actors, we’re terrible at organizing things. So it hasn’t happened yet. The thought’s there. The ideas has been planted.”

Zendaya, for her part, opened up about her private relationship with Holland in a 2023 interview with Elle.
“I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share,” the “Euphoria” actress said.
“It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist,” she continued. “You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”’
