“Zendaya and Tom really did their best to keep their romance under wraps when they first started dating,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2023. “Before they began seeing each other, they had both always been very private when it came to their personal lives. It was something that bonded them in the early stages of their relationship because they were both on the same page when it came to avoiding public speculation.”

However, that changed after their relationship officially went public. Following years of chatter about their status, the Spider-Man costars were spotted kissing in a car in 2021, finally offering fans visual confirmation that their romance was not just a rumor.

“They acknowledge that everyone knows they’re together,” the source added. “So Tom is proud to call Zendaya his girlfriend and express how much he loves her because he wants the world to know.”
