Young and in love!
The red-hot romance between Spider-Man: No Way Home costars Tom Holland and Zendaya is no publicity stunt. In fact, an insider tells OK! the 25-year-olds are figuring out their next steps after wrapping up press for the Marvel film.
“Tom is all in and making his feelings known loud and clear,” says the insider. For her part, a smitten Zendaya — who, says the insider, “definitely loves” the actor — has finally agreed to be in an exclusive relationship. The decision was always hers.
Though the Uncharted actor, the insider confides, has been “besotted” with the Emmy winner since “the moment he met her” (the two have been linked since 2017), Zendaya opted to keep her options open, including dating her Euphoria costar Jacob Elordi.
“Tom didn’t show that he was bothered,” says the insider, “but it grated his nerves.”

Still, he never gave up on his leading lady, and in the end, “Zendaya was touched by how much Tom cared.” Now the two are navigating logistics as the English actor purchased a $3 million London home in December.
Tom, who recently admitted he’d like to “focus on starting a family,” is hoping the L.A.-based actress will shack up with him: “He’d move in with her tomorrow if he could,” says the insider. And though Zendaya may need some convincing to relocate across the pond, “she’ll likely agree to a trial period of living together.”
In the meantime, the lovebirds have been soaking up as much time together as they can. On January 23, they were spotted visiting Tom’s family — and according to the insider, Zendaya got an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
“Everyone loved her,” adds the insider. “They’re so happy for Tom that he’s found that special someone.”
