Recently, Zendaya garnered attention after she unfollowed Tom Holland on Instagram. The gossip world went into a frenzy, and there were rumors everywhere about a potential high-profile breakup. It has been months since Zendaya and Tom Holland were publicly seen together, and numerous strange stories were raised.
When Tom Holland was recently spotted in L.A., he revealed that they have “absolutely not” split up. Despite the stories roaming around the internet, it must be noted that both the stars have spoken about the importance of privacy in the past. Last year in an interview with ELLE, the Spider-Man actress gave an electrifying statement that it’s all about protecting the peace.
What did Zendaya say about her relationship?
It was surprising for the fans when they spotted Tom Holland being unfollowed by Zendaya. Very soon, it was noticed that the actress unfollowed everyone on her social media account. Although the reasons are still unknown, the incident generated a buzz among the fans. Some rumors even stated that she might be in a relationship with Timothée Chalamet before Tom Holland clarified to TMZ that they were not breaking up.
As a result of being one of the most renowned celebrity couples, it always gets difficult for Tom Holland and Zendaya to stray away from public attention. During an interview with ELLE last year, the Dune actress suggested that personal peace is most important to her. She explained how she tackled the public attention to maintain peace in her life.
“Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
Zendaya also addressed other parts of her life that are ruined by fame. She stated that Spider-Man and Euphoria catapulted her stardom to a global level. In September, she also called out people on her Instagram who speculated about her engagement after spotting a flashy ring on her hand.
Tom Holland also stated similar views in his interviews
Tom Holland has also openly addressed the disadvantages of their immense popularity. In an interview with GQ, the Avengers: Endgame star said that he felt robbed of his privacy when photos of him kissing Zendaya went viral on social media.
“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy. I don’t think it’s about not being ready. It’s just that we didn’t want to.”
Tom Holland even took a brief break from social media in 2022 for his mental health. He stated that social media became very “overstimulating” and “overwhelming” for him. Later in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor stated that he is very protective about his bond with the Challengers actress. Holland added that they consider their relationship to be very sacred.
Although the couple always tries to keep their relationship as private as possible, they never shy away from speaking highly about each other if they get a chance. It will be intriguing to find out if Zendaya reveals the reason for her unfollowing everyone on Instagram including Holland.
