Something that first bonded Zendaya and Tom Holland was her support as he navigated a new level of fame that she’d been dealing with for years. And, as the years went on and the pair grew closer, he has continued to look to her for reassurance. He leaned on her a lot while filming “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” especially when he met fellow web slingers, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield for the first time. “At our first rehearsal, I had asked Jacob [Batalon] and Zendaya to come with me to just kind of be there as like, my support system,” he told Deadline.
In all good relationships, there should be give and take, and Holland reciprocates Zendaya’s support. The “Euphoria” star has been open about her struggles with anxiety, and fans have picked up on the way he comforts her when she needs it — such as when he calmed her by putting his hand on her leg which was shaking during a “Spider-Man” interview.

Together, Zendaya and Holland embody the ultimate Gen Z couple, and are especially setting an example of a healthy relationship for their younger fans. While Zendaya continues to forge ahead in the entertainment industry, scooping up various awards, Holland has been praised for his lack of toxic masculinity, especially during his lip sync dance. “I’ve grown up in the most non-toxic-masculine environment possible. I didn’t realize what I was doing was so forward-thinking. I was just like, ‘Yeah, f**k it, I’ll put some fishnets on and dance in the rain. That’ll be really fun. I don’t care,'” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
