Have we settled on a name for our new favourite couple yet? Tomdaya?

We can't get another of Tom Holland and Zendaya's romance as the two share the sweetest moments while promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home.

From Tom's candid reactions after seeing his girlfriend on the red carpet to Zendaya's tribute to her boyfriend, she calls "My Spider-Man" – he called her his MJ on her birthday – we can't get enough of our OTP.

Spider-Man: No Way Home producer Amy Pascal tells The New York Times, however, she warned the two about starting a relationship, after the Spider-Men before Tom – Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield – did the same with their co-stars – Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone, respectively – and things didn't quite work out for them.

"I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture," she said. "Don't go there—just don't. Try not to."

I've spent the last six years being so focused on my career. I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world... I love kids. I can't wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can't wait!
-- Tom Holland tells People about life after Spider-Man

The director added: "I gave the same advice to Andrew [Garfield] and Emma [Stone]. It can just complicate things, you know?" before adding: "They all ignored me."

That they did.

And with Tom's comments on "starting a family", Tomdaya lived happily ever after.

The end.

That's the whole story.
