Tom Holland shared that he will support his girlfriend Zendaya's new film, Challengersduring the film's opening weekend.
The 27-year-old actor took it to Instagram on Saturday to celebrate the release of the tennis-themed film, which officially hits U.S. theaters on April 26. In the post, he simply shared the film's poster, which features Zendaya front-center, wearing a pair of sunglasses that feature her two co-stars — Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist — playing a game on the tennis court. .
In the caption, Holland made it clear that he will watch his girlfriend's new film. “I know what I'm doing this weekend!” He wrote.
Many fans in the comments were excited about how the Unknown star was rooting for her partner and his career milestone.
“We love a supportive boyfriend,” wrote one, while another added, “Sooo cute omg.”
A third wrote: “All boyfriends should be like Tom Holland who supports his girlfriend in everything she does, I really respect him so much!!!”
In Challengers, Zendaya plays Tashi, a tennis player turned coach who is coaching her husband Art (played by Faist) as he attempts to make a comeback as a professional tennis star. However, things change when Art has to compete against his ex-friend and Tashi's ex-boyfriend Patrick, played by O'Connor.
Over the past few months, Zendaya has been on a busy press tour for Challengers, with occasional support from her boyfriend at events. Earlier this month, he was spotted at the film's premiere in London, where he had the opportunity to share a sweet kiss with his girlfriend before taking his seat in the theater.
O Euphoria star and Holland sparked rumors they were dating in 2017 after starring in Spider-Man: Homecoming. However, they only confirmed their romance in July 2021, when photos were published of them kissing in a car.
In his cover story for Voguepublished earlier this month, Zendaya reflected on her boyfriend's rise to fame and praised him for how he handled it.
“We were both very, very young, but my career was already moving forward and his changed overnight. One day you're a kid and you're at the pub with your friends, and the next day you're Spider-Man,” she said. “I definitely saw his life change in front of him. But he handled it very well.”
Throughout her time in the public eye, Zendaya has said that she doesn't like the idea of having the intimate details of her relationship known to everyone. However, she acknowledged that she won't avoid certain experiences in life just to keep her relationship hidden.
“I can’t stop being a person and live my life and love the person I love. But I also have control over what I choose to share,” she said She in August 2023. “It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be yours, but also about not being afraid to exist. You can't hide. That's not fun either. I’m sailing more than ever now.”
She also doesn't hesitate to talk about some of the things she loves most about the Netherlands. When asked who she thought had more “rizz” than Dune: Part Two released during a video with BuzzFeed in February, she responded: “Me. Hello?” After noticing that each person has their own charisma, she chose to answer the initial question by referring to her boyfriend.
“I think that someone who has a beautiful charisma, Dune The cast, but I know personally, that works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland,” the Disney Channel alum noted. “I’m more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little longer to bring me out of my shell.”
She continued: “But he's great at just talking to people and getting to know them. You see him on talk shows and things like that. He is naturally very good at it. Whereas for me, I definitely had to get it out of me a little bit. He has this natural gift.”
