The Marvel actors have been friends for years with rumors of romance flying for the same amount of time, but in August 2021 pictures showed the pair passionately kissing in Tom’s car while at red traffic lights.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Tom has shared.
“We sort of felt robbed of our privacy. I don’t think it’s about not being ready. It’s just that we didn’t want to,” he added.
Speaking to GQ, Zendaya added that the pair both believe that “when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own”.
The pair will reunite on screen for the third Spider-Man film featuring Tom as the web slinger and Zendaya as MJ in No Way Home.
No Way Home will hit screens in December
Sony released the full-length trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home in August after an early leak, and it sees the film pick up from the final moments of Far From Home, with Peter Parker’s identity exposed to the world while also being accused of the murder of Mysterio.
The trailer reveals that Peter goes to Dr Strange for help after his life is ruined by his secret being exposed, and Dr Strange agrees to help him before accidentally opening the multiverse.
Tom shared this sweet snap for Zendaya’s birthday
In September, Tom shared a sweet snap of the two to tell the world that he calls the actress “my MJ”.
“My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays,” the Marvel actor wrote on Instagram alongside a never-before-seen set photo.
“Gimme a call when your [sic] up, xxx,” he added, to which Zendaya commented: “Calling now.”
