Zendaya acknowledges boyfriend Tom Holland’s talent in a recent interview with Vogue.

In the May issue of VogueZendaya discusses her relationship with Holland. She dives into how much she admires how he handled his overnight fame after their 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming release. She asserts, “He handled it really beautifully.” This is not the first or only time Zendaya speaks highly about her significant other. 

Moreover, in February, she praised the Impossible actor for his “rizz” even though he had previously claimed he lacked charm when it comes to flirting. 

Additionally, in an interview with Buzzfeed on February 21, Zendaya was asked which Dune: Part Two cast member has the most “rizz.” Although she didn’t name any of her co-stars, she specifically mentioned Holland, “I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the ‘Dune’ cast, but for me personally — works for me — is Mr. Tom Holland.”

Interestingly enough, Zendaya’s comments come less than a year after Holland told Buzzfeed he didn’t think he had any rizz. “I have no rizz whatsoever, I have limited rizz,” he stated in June 2023. “I’m happy and in love, so I’ve got no need for charm,” he added.

Zendaya and Holland have maintained a relatively private relationship but have spoken out about each other. It took years for the pair to publicly confirm their relationship, despite posting about one another on their social media. Furthermore, the couple’s relationship was officially confirmed in 2021 when they were spotted sharing a kiss in their car. Transitioning from co-stars to lovers, they make a delightful pair.

On September 1, 2021, Holland made their relationship Instagram official by posting a heartfelt birthday message celebrating Zendaya’s special day. This public declaration further solidified their bond with fans and followers alike.

He captioned the post with, “My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when [your’re] up xxx.”

The accompanying shot depicted him in his Spider-Man suit, with Zendaya close behind him as she took the picture with a camera. This endearing post not only celebrated Zendaya’s birthday but showcased their affectionate bond.
