Tom Holland holds on to Zendaya while dodging paparazzi at Dune 2 premiere; WATCH VIDEO

Zendaya and Tom Holland, a couple who first met on the set of the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming, continue to prove that love is in the air. The pair denied any breakup rumors and showed off the strength of their relationship at the Dune 2 premiere. Tom, who played the perfect boyfriend, cheered Zendaya on from afar as the actress turned heads in two stunning looks, including a futuristic armor suit on the red carpet. Although the actor wasn’t photographed entering the venue with Zendaya, Tom attended the after-party with the actress. Fans and paparazzi later spotted the couple quietly leaving hand in hand, with Tom leading the way and ensuring his girlfriend’s safety amid enthusiastic admirers. Tom politely apologized to the fan who asked for his autograph.

In a candid video circulating online, Tom showed his gentlemanly demeanor by putting his arm around Zendaya’s waist as they entered a waiting car after the Dune 2 premiere. For the night, the actress shone in a floor-length black velvet dress paired with vintage Bulgari jewelry, while Tom opted for a casual all-black ensemble of T-shirt and trousers with a tank top. This is the first time the couple have been publicly together since Tom addressed split rumors last month.

For those who don’t know, rumors about Tom Holland and Zendaya’s breakup began online when the “Euphoria” actress unfollowed everyone, including Tom, on Instagram spread. However, the Spider-Man star addressed the speculation during an interview with TMZ in Los Angeles last month. The young actor vehemently denied any split, saying: “No, no, no, absolutely not. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Recently, Tom walked the red carpet alone during the 2024 Critics’ Choice Awards, but that didn’t stop him from expressing his love for Zendaya. In an interview with Extra TV, the actor said: “Zendaya and I watch Spider-Man 1 every now and then and reminisce about what it was like to be 19 and make those movies again. I love those movies and I love savoring those moments, So I try not to watch them too often because it’s so special and being able to sit down and relive your youth and watch it, it’s like a gift to have the luxury of those movies.”

Zendaya will appear in Dune 2, set to be released on March 2, while Tom Holland is gearing up for Spider-Man 4.
