Tom Holland has heaped praise on girlfriend Zendaya in a rare comment about their relationship.
The pair, both 27, confirmed their romance in 2021 after intense speculation, but have kept much of their bond firmly behind closed doors.
However, the Spider-Man actor flipped that around this week when he shared a sweet insight into how much he cares for the Dune star.
Spilling the beans in a Sag-Aftra interview, he explained: ‘Zendaya is probably the most honest with me. Which I love, because you need that.’
Honestly, couple goals.
As well as commending Zendaya, Tom opened up about other famous faces he turns to for advice, with Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch on speed dial.

‘Downey is very honest – sometimes a little too honest,’ he quipped. ‘I really respect Downey’s opinion. He taught me so much and I always sing his praises, and I love the guy. I admire him.
‘Benedict Cumberbatch is someone that I ask for advice a lot about acting.’
Tom and Zendaya first sparked dating rumors while filming for Spider-Man, where they forged a very close friendship.
In 2021, they finally went public with their romance after they were pictured kissing during a drive.

Despite being famous beyond words and commanding more than 200million Instagram followers between them, they have taken steps to keep as much of their connection private.
In a recent interview with Elle Magazine, the Euphoria favorite reflected on this decision, telling the outlet: ‘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.’

However, she was forced to deny wild speculation that the Marvel icon had secretly got down on one knee after eagle-eyed followers spotted a diamond ring on her engagement finger in an Instagram post.
In a now-deleted post, she fumed: ‘I can’t post anything, you guys.
‘I posted it for my hat. Like not for the ring on my right hand, you guys, seriously.
‘You think that’s how I would drop the news? You think, like, what!’
