The actress noted that Holland’s approach creates a relaxed environment not only for her but for everyone involved in a production. She acknowledged a personal bias but stressed that his professionalism and demeanour make him an especially supportive co-star. The pair first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017 and confirmed their relationship in 2021.
Zendaya also addressed the challenge of balancing public careers with private life. She said both she and Holland aim to live normally, such as going out for meals, while remaining careful about what aspects of their relationship they keep out of the public eye. According to the actress, protecting privacy is essential, even if some attention is unavoidable.

Although born and raised in California, Zendaya said she feels a strong connection to the UK, where the couple spend part of their time. She explained that while it cannot currently be a permanent base due to work commitments in Los Angeles, it feels like a second home. She added that she has embraced British culture and humour, even if one local favourite — Jaffa Cakes — still fails to convince her.
