Tom Holland and Zendaya are very private regarding their relationship, but the couple remains one that makes us believe in love.

News of their real-life romance broke after they were photographed kissing back in 2021.

Shortly after, the couple became more comfortable with the idea of making their relationship public when Zendaya adorably told Graham Norton about the couple's height difference and shared her genuine concerns about her boyfriend's Spider-Man suit.

The couple then attended the Spider-Man: No Way Home photo-call in London – and they couldn't keep their eyes off one another.

In the two years the world has known they are dating, they have found ways to sneak in comments about each other or gestures towards each other here and there while remaining professional as always.

The most prominent are the birthday messages they share on social media.

Zendaya's message to Holland on his 26th birthday last year came as a black and white image of the couple with the caption: "Happiest of birthdays to the one who makes me the happiest."

Meanwhile, Holland shared a photo of himself and Zendaya on the set of Spider-Man on her 25th birthday in September 2021.

"My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when you're up xxx," he wrote in the caption.

Most recently, Holland proved just how committed to his Spider-Man co-star he is during an interview with Buzzfeed about his new AppleTV series, The Crowded Room

"I have no rizz whatsoever; I have limited rizz," Holland said when answering a question about the secret to his supposed rizz, aka charisma or charm.

He added: 

I don't know. I need you to fall in love with me, really, for it to work. So, long game. Probably making a movie with each other - it definitely helps when the characters are falling in love with one another, you can sort of blur the lines a little bit. That's kind of where my rizz is at. And I'm locked up. I'm happy and in love, so I've got no need for rizz.

In the same video, Holland gushed about the enormous amounts of memes they send each other daily. 

"It's non-stop," he said. "She sends me too much… I can't keep up because I delete my Instagram for days at a time. I download it to post, and then I have to check my messages, and I'll have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of things from her."

And thanks to his current press tour, this is not the only time Holland has given a glimpse into his life with Zendaya. 

In a recently published interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor praised the Euphoria actor for her athletic ability.

"I've given her a few lessons," he said, referring to golf. "She's very naturally talented, a real athlete, so she picked it up really quickly."

Holland further explained why he and Zendaya like to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

"Our relationship is something we are incredibly protective of, and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Holland told the publication. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."
