Tom Holland describes his bond with Zendaya as ‘sacred’

During a recent appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, actor Tom Holland, who is currently dating actress Zendaya, was asked about their relationship and he explained that the bond they share is very sacred.

Holland and Zendaya have remained private about their relationship but he explained during an intimate conversation with Shetty, “I try my best to keep it as private as possible. We both feel like that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple, so I do try to keep as removed from Hollywood as possible.”

Before the On Purpose episode, Holland had appeared on the SmartLess podcast where he appreciated his girlfriend for being in his life. He noted that he is grateful to have someone he can share his experiences and all sorts of stuff which he says is worth its weight in gold.

It should not come as a shock to anyone that Zendaya and Holland prefer to keep their relationship as private as possible and that they are undoubtedly sick of addressing questions about one another. Holland was shown a quick survey done by the LADbible on what fans think about the actor and one of the questions that popped up was what is the British actor sick of hearing in an interview and he nodded when he saw “Anything Zendaya related” at the top of the list.
