Who is Zendaya dating?

Zendaya and her Spider-Man costar Tom Holland first sparked dating rumors in 2017.

An insider told People magazine at the time that "they started seeing each other while they were filming 'Spider-Man.”

"They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye, but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

The source added, "They're both really ambitious, and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up. They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together. They have great banter back and forth."

The pair shut down the rumors, however, claiming that they were the "best of friends."

On July 1, 2021, The Sun exclusively obtained photos of the pair kissing, reigniting the rumor mill that the pair are in fact dating.

Who are Zendaya's parents?

Growing up in Oakland, California, as the daughter of two teachers, Zendaya saw her life completely transform in just a few short years.

Her mother, Claire, worked as house manager at the California Shakespeare Theater, meaning Zendaya spent a lot of time around actors – but it was her mum’s work as a teacher that truly inspired her from a young age.

“Growing up, I watched my mom teach in the heart of Oakland, California, at inner-city schools that were always underfunded,” the actress told Teen Vogue, adding: “Watching her was magical; it instilled within me a true appreciation of and devotion to the importance of education.”

Her father, Kazembe Ajamu – also a former teacher – quit his job to “make it happen” for her, with the pair moving to LA so she could audition while her mum continued working to support her.

She credited both of them with keeping her grounded during a chat with Ellen DeGeneres, as well as instilling “core values that I think I have to carry with me through everything”.

“Everything has been a climb,” she told  of her start in her career. “And I’ve been able to take my family and friends with me. I came from humble beginnings.”
