Tom Holland praised for calling out reporter who called Zendaya his ‘girlfriend’

Tom Holland and Zendaya are one of the sweetest celebrity couples around, and the Spider-Man star has people swooning all over again after correcting a reporter.

The pair first met in 2016 and went public with their relationship back in 2021, after years of denial that anything was going on.

Tom, 29, proposed to Zendaya, 29, last year, with his dad Dominic sharing some details about how it went down, after Zendaya appeared on a red carpet with a huge sparkling diamond ring on that finger.

"He had purchased a ring, he had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter," he explained in a Patreon post earlier this year.

"Tom had everything planned out… When, where, how, what to say, what to wear."

It come as no surprise then that Tom would be quick to correct anyone calling Zendaya his 'girlfriend'.

During a recent Q&A panel, a reporter said: "I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend, so, I was father of the year."

Without missing a beat, Tom politely corrected him with 'fiancée', to remind everyone they were engaged.

After the moment was shared on social media, fans rushed to praise the star for the simple gesture.

"Him immediately correcting the guy, I know that's right!" one wrote.

Another added: "He doesn't play about her and that's so real, exactly what she deserves."

"Oh to be loved that way," swooned one fan, while someone else simply said: "Hell yeah!"

While Tom is incredibly proud to call Zendaya his fiancée, it seems they haven't actually started planning the wedding yet, according to Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach.

In July, Law revealed to E! News: "The process hasn't even started yet, Zendaya is working on so many movies.

"She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time."

Law continued: "[They] really love each other and have for a really long time.

"The fact that the world has been able to share in that love story, I think it's really beautiful."

The stylist insists the whole thing will be very private though, telling an episode of Complex's Please Explain: "There won't be a Vogue spread or there won't be pictures of the wedding and the people who she will invite will be really respectful of their privacy, so it will be a really beautiful dress that no one gets to see."

The couple are apparently 'trying to be as private as possible' with the wedding, so we'll just have to use our imaginations!
