Tom Holland gives sweet update on relationship with Zendaya after addressing split rumours

Celebrity power couple Zendaya and Tom Holland gave their fans a fright earlier this month after speculation became rife that they'd gone their separate ways.

Rift rumours kicked off after The Greatest Showman favourite Zendaya was seen to have unfollowed her Marvel star boyfriend on social media.

Fans held onto hope that it may have just been a fluke, however, as stage and screen star Tom wasn't the only one who got the chop on Instagram.

Former Disney star Zendaya, 27, had actually unfollowed every single person she was previously following.

But this didn't stop fans of the A-list duo from speculating about a potential split.

"Zendaya broke up with tom? OMG", one fan tweeted, as another penned: "Zendaya unfollows everyone including Tom holland on Instagram WHAT?!"

Now, just days later after talk of trouble in paradise for the pair, The Impossible star Tom has well and truly shut down rumours of a rift.

Caught off guard and asked by a TMZ photographer on Friday (12 Jan) whether there was any truth to his and Zendaya's alleged split, he gave a stern reply.

"No," the 27-year-old actor told press. "Absolutely not."

Further to this, despite appearing at last night's Critics Choice Awards separately to his Euphoria legend girlfriend, Tom gave his fans another reason to be relieved by giving them an insight into his usually private relationship.

"Zendaya and I will, every now and then, watch Spider-Man 1 and reminisce about being 19 and making those movies again," he lovingly told Extra on the red carpet of the prestigious Los Angeles award show.

"I love those movies, and I love savouring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it’s so special.

"It’s such a luxury, such a gift to be able to sit down and sort of relive your youth."

Though fans are seemingly delighted to hear that the couple are still as loved-up as ever, the admission has come somewhat as a surprise, being that they remained majorly tight-lipped over the ins and outs of their relationship.

The duo best known for appearing side-by-side in the latest Spiderman franchise - are believed to have been dating since not long after the release of their 2016 superhero blockbuster.

It wasn't until July 2021, however, that they confirmed their romance after being papped locking lips in a car.

Since then, the pair often post sweet tributes to one another on social media, and have been photographed by paparazzi whilst enjoying a hand-in-hand outing on several occasions in the past.
