Soon after it was confirmed that Zendaya and Tom would be starring alongside each other in Spider-Man: Homecoming, they made their debut on each other’s social media pages – with fans’ Spidey senses tingling after a snap of them in the pool was shared on the ‘gram.

Tomdaya hit the promotional trail hard for Spider-Man: Homecoming, appearing on countless red carpets and parties together throughout the summer. It was then that they were first rumoured to be coupled up.

In fact, a source told E! News that they were dating, but keeping the whole thing private, adding: ‘They got to know each other while on set. They became friends and started getting romantic a few months ago. 

‘They both are such great people. It’s cool they got together. Everyone gets along with them.’

Having none of it, the Euphoria actress made light of the whole thing, as well as claims that they had been on secret romantic holidays together.

Taking to Twitter to pour ice cold water on any hint of a relationship, she penned: ‘Wait wait…my favourite is when it says we go on vacations together HA!

‘I haven’t been on a vacation in years! Hbu @TomHolland1996???’, to which her co-star replied: ‘Does the press tour count.’

Tomdaya speculation surfaced again when Tom discussed their close bond to British GQ, spilling the beans on some words of wisdom she offered him at the beginning of their journey together.

‘Talking to Zendaya’s helped me a lot, actually,’ he said. ‘I used to come across sometimes as a bit of a d**k to fans, mainly as I was always so surprised that they’d want a picture with me or signature or whatever.

‘I’d have the typical Londoner reaction, one of instant suspicion: “Why are you talking to me?” Zendaya spotted this and quickly told me that this sort of reaction was going to be more aggro than just smiling and taking the picture. 

‘She totally changed the way I am able to be more comfortable in public.’

Honestly, we’re obsessed with their friendship by this point.
