Tom Holland has admitted he often checks up on his superstar girlfriend Zendaya by ‘googling’ her.
The 28-year-old Spiderman star entered a heartwarming romance with the Challengers actress, 28, in 2021 – five years after the Hollywood heavyweights starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming together.
Despite usually keeping their sweet love affair tight-lipped, Tom has no trouble showcasing his affection for Zendaya, with him even going so far as to protect his girlfriend from photographers.
In addition to putting his chivalrous side on full display, the actor – who recently launched his own non-alcoholic beer company – also often gets candid with fans, with him having most recently confessed that his ‘anxiety’ causes him to search his girlfriend online.
While speaking to host of podcast On The Menu, Samah Dada, Tom revealed that he tends to google Zendaya to make sure everything is ‘good’ because he doesn’t have social media.
While promoting his non-alcoholic beer company, the actor was asked what the last thing he Googled was.
He shockingly revealed that he often creeps up on his girlfriend since he ditched social media in 2022.
The A-lister explained: ‘The last thing I googled was actually Zendaya I’m not on socials and I delete it when I’m not using it. So sometimes like – it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing.
‘I’ll check to see if everything’s good and to make sure we’re all cool. So I just give her a little google and look through the news and I’m like, “she’s good.”‘
After hearing that Tom – who lives with Zendaya – tends to creep on his lover, fans took to social media to gush over the adorable couple.
One fan said: ‘Googling her as if he’s a fan and not her boyfriend.’
Another person wrote: ‘A certified lover boy it’s what Zendaya deserves.’
Someone else commented: ‘When you have Zendaya at home but still feel the need to google her—that’s true fan dedication!’
One user added: ‘Why is it so funny that he’s using google to check up on her in the news?’
Tom and Zendaya recently made headlines when the actor was spotted protecting his girlfriend in New York City.
Holding her hand and placing a protective hand on her back, the Brit star said: ‘Guys watch out!’ as the couple tried to get to a car.
He then said: ‘Give us a little bit of space’ before they headed off.’
The star was also seen declaring ‘get out of the f*****g way’ as he helped Zendaya – who was being swarmed by fans and paparazzi – took her hand and led her into the event earlier in the evening.
The couple’s stylish appearance came after Tom announced that he will be reprising his role as Spider-Man in the fourth film, though he left fans guessing about Zendaya’s return.
During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Tom revealed that filming for the highly anticipated fourth Spider-Man installment is slated to begin in the summer of 2025, adding that everything is ‘ready to go.’
However, he left fans hanging by not confirming whether Zendaya would be reprising her role as MJ.
At the Critics Choice Awards 2024, Tom shared several rare comments about his and Zendaya’s private life and how they revisit the film.
Speaking to Extra, Tom said: ‘Zendaya and I will, every now and then, watch Spider-Man 1 and reminisce about being 19 and making those movies again.
‘I love those movies, and I love savoring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it’s so special. It’s such a luxury, such a gift to be able to sit down and sort of relive your youth.’
