Tom Holland is Zendaya's number one fan, this much we know. But now, the actor is making it clearer than ever, if his previous Instagram activity is anything to go by.

Spider-Man fans were elated after paparazzi pictures emerged appearing to show Tom Holland and Zendaya kissing.

The actors have played love interests on screen in the Marvel films, in which the British actor plays the titular character and Emmy-winning Zendaya stars as Peter Parker's classmate, MJ.

Zendaya has appeared in three Spider-Man films with Holland, the latter of which Spider-Man: No Way Home was released last December.

Here's everything we know about these co-stars turned couple, starting with the latest update:

Referring to co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who he enlisted to keep him company on the first day of working on the film, Holland recalled: 'At our first rehearsal, I had asked Jacob and Zendaya to come with me to just kind of be there as like, my support system.'

He added: 'Like, "I'm gonna go meet these guys, I'm really nervous about it."'

'"We have to read the scene, and I don't know how this is gonna go because we're all playing the same character, and we all have to bring our own heart and soul into this, and it means a lot to them, and it means a lot to me." So Jacob and Zendaya were there on that first day,' he explained of the time.

This comes after Holland was seen comforting Zendaya for the same reason in recently resurfaced footage of the pair, taken during an interview.

In an interview with the New York Times she said: 'I took Tom and Zendaya aside, separately, when we first cast them and gave them a lecture: "Don’t go there — just don’t. Try not to:",' before adding that her advice wasn't taken on board.

During a recent GQ interview, Holland expressed how much of an impact Zendaya has on his life.

'Having her in my life was so instrumental to my sanity. She is so good at being the role model for young guys and girls,' he told the publication.

Zendaya shared her own feelings for her Spider-Man co-star, saying: 'Anytime I’ve ever watched him work, he does it 150 per cent. It’s incredible to watch.'

In the interview, Holland also opened up about wanting to keep his private life away from the public. 'I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway,' the actor said.

'[Zendaya's] not that much taller,' Holland replied. 'Let's put this out there. Maybe like an inch or two at best. It's not like, people say like, "How did you guys kiss? It must have been so difficult."

'I remember when we were doing the Spider-Man screen tests... but every girl that we tested for both roles was taller than me. I wonder whether that was a decision [director] Jon [Watts] had made. There was no one that tested that was shorter than I was.'

Zendaya chimed in too, noting: 'This is normal too. My mum is taller than my dad. My mom's taller than everyone.'

The pair proceeded to show the audience a demo of the catch, with Zendaya telling her partner: 'You were actually very lovely about it. You would be like "Oh my gosh, thank you".'

The quotes came days before the pair were photographed in London on December 5 together looking very loved up on the red carpet. For the event Zendaya stunned in a dazzling Alexander McQueen oversized embellished blazer.

Tom Holland opens up about his relationship with Zendaya

In a new interview with GQ, Holland opened up about his and Zendaya's relationship.

'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,' he said.

'I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.'

When asked by the journalist whether the pair weren't ready to go public with their romance, the actor replied: 'I don’t think it’s about not being ready. It’s just that we didn’t want to.'

'It’s not a conversation that I can have without her,' he added. 'You know, I respect her too much to say… This isn’t my story. It’s our story. And we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together.'

Speaking about going public with their relationship, Zendaya noted: 'It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive. The equal sentiment [we both share] is just that when you really love and care about somebody, some moments or things, you wish were your own.… I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other.'

Zendaya Is Interviewed About Tom Holland's Fame After Spiderman

Zendaya has been revealed as InStyle’s November cover girl and has opened up about her relationship with, well, at least her close proximity to rumoured boyfriend Tom Holland.

When asked about that behind-the-scenes photo of her and Holland, from the Spider-Man set, Zendaya said: 'We were shooting in New York, and you can’t block off streets because it’s public space. It’s difficult for Tom, who has to be in the full Spidey suit; it’s not like he can be incognito. He has to take his spider eyes out just to drink water. I don’t remember if he’s drinking water in that picture, but I think his eyes are popped out.'

Elaborating on what it's like to be spotted together as both of their public profiles soar to ever increasing heights, the actor continued: The paparazzi can be wherever they want. Even our holding area was a vitamin store with glass everywhere, so it wasn’t super private. I’m assuming someone was looking through the window, trying to scare us or something. So that was my face.'

In the remainder of the interview, Zendaya was pushed a few more times to make comments about Holland, though she tried to keep it as professional as possible, relating most of her answers to his acting chops and dedication to the role of Spider-Man.

'I appreciate that he really loves being Spider-Man. It’s a lot of pressure—you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go. To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man. I think he handled that so well,' she said.

Tom Holland and Zendaya spotted kissing

In photographs obtained by Page Six, the Spider-Man stars are seen kissing while sat in a car in Los Angeles. They were later seen with Zendaya's mother, Claire, according to the outlet.

Many outlets and fans have taken their sighted kiss as confirmation to longstanding rumours that the pair (who have since been dubbed #tomdaya) were more than just friends and the reaction on social media is quite something:

Have there been rumours about Tom Holland and Zendaya before?

Yes, which isn't a surprise when people play love interests in films. Especially when it comes to Spider-Man (need we mention Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, or the rumours about Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst becoming an item?)

Reports first circulated that the couple were dating in 2017, however Zendaya soon downplayed those stories when she took to Twitter to respond to rumours that the co-stars had holidayed together:

In July that year, Holland temporarily caused fans to skip a breath when he was asked who his first celebrity crush was in an interview and he responded with: 'Zendaya'....

..going on to joke: 'No it wasn't Zendaya, my first growing up was probably Jennifer Aniston', but still!

In August that year, the Euphoria star flat out denied the relationship rumour in an interview with Variety saying: 'We are friends. He’s a great dude. He’s literally one of my best friends. This past how many months we’ve had to do press tours together. There’s very few people that will understand what that’s like at 20-years-old.'
