So far, Zendaya and Tom Holland’s extended stay in Holland’s hometown of London has included grocery store trips and various outings. Now, we’re blessed with another look at the couple’s private life together: they were photographed walking a dog with a friend in a South London park on Thursday. Both were dressed casually, Zendaya in a gray crop top, coat, and black pants. At one point, the two were captured showing their friend something on Zendaya’s phone and laughing.
The sighting comes days after a video shared by Zendaya’s manicurist showed her wearing a signet ring with Holland’s initials on it. Eagle-eyed fans noted that Holland has been wearing his own sartorial tribute to Zendaya, as multiple pairs of his pants have Zs emblazoned on the back pocket.
News of the pair’s romance broke in summer 2021 when they were filmed making out in a car. Although still very guarded about their love story, Zendaya and Holland have given each other shows of public support on social media from time to time. They have yet to attend an industry event as a couple.
Zendaya spoke candidly to GQ in November 2021 about how she’s confused by the world’s interest in their love story. The public interest “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.”
