Holland and Zendaya have been spotted out together on multiple occasions in 2023. They attended Usher's Las Vegas residency in April, then packed on the PDA at game two of the NBA's Western Conference semifinals in May.
In a June 14 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland opened up about how cautious he is about publicly sharing about his relationship with Zendaya. "[It's] something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," he said. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers." However, he did say they've been working on her golfing skills together. "I've given her a few lessons. She's very naturally talented, a real athlete, so she picked it up really quickly."
However, a day later, in an interview with BuzzFeed, the actor found almost every opportunity to slip in a mention of his girlfriend. He revealed that it's "intense" when Zendaya slides into his DMs with memes. "I'll have hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds, of [memes] from her. I try and keep up, but it's intense," he revealed, also adding that she was his childhood crush.
In a June 23 interview with UNILAD, he divulged some additional information about the early days of their courtship. "I fixed my girlfriend's door once really early on in our relationship," he said. "I was hanging out at her house and her door was broken. I was like, 'I'm gonna fix that door for you.' And now, we're in love."
Then, in July, Holland discussed his bond with Zendaya on an episode of Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett's podcast "SmartLess," saying that he felt "lucky" to be going through the twists and turns of fame by her side. "You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff," he said, "and that's worth its weight in gold."
Later, the couple took some time out of their busy schedules give back to the community in Zendaya's hometown of Oakland, CA, on Aug. 26. The pair made an appearance in partnership with Hoopbus LA, a nonprofit organization that aims to build excitement for the new school year through basketball. In photos and videos from the event, Zendaya made a speech and the pair shot hoops with the kids in attendance. Zendaya even ended up leaving a simple, but super sweet, comment on Holland's Instagram post from the event: three hearts.
