He’s a great dude. He’s literally one of my best friends.”
Chatting with Access Hollywood ahead the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home in December 2021, Holland gushed that costars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) were his “best friends.” He told the outlet, “We’re just best friends, we really are best friends. From the moment we met each other, we all really hit it off. I remember on Spider-Man 1 just becoming, like, the best of friends.”
Earlier that year in July, Zendaya and Holland were spotted kissing in their car. PEOPLE confirmed the couple’s engagement in January 2025. Neither Zendaya nor Holland have directly addressed their wedding rumors.
