Tom Holland and Zendaya enjoyed a tennis date at the Indian Wells Championship, showcasing their love for the sport and each other. The event took place on a sunny Sunday, March 17, where the couple was seen having a great time. They were caught on camera singing along to Whitney Houston’s hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” fully immersed in the joy of the moment at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California.
Tom, aged 27, chose a casual yet stylish look with a brown button-down shirt accented with white piping, layered over a crisp white t-shirt. Zendaya, also 27, looked effortlessly chic in a white Louis Vuitton sweater paired with a matching tennis skirt. Their outfits perfectly blended comfort with style, suitable for the day’s event.
Following the tennis match, Zendaya had the opportunity to meet the champion, Iga Świątek, and they shared a memorable photo session. Świątek emerged victorious against Maria Sakkari, clinching the win with a score of 6-4. This victory marked Świątek’s second win at the Indian Wells, adding to her growing list of accomplishments.
Świątek, at 22, expressed her excitement about meeting Zendaya during a post-match press conference. She acknowledged the surreal feeling of meeting such a renowned actress but also appreciated Zendaya’s human side. Świątek was thrilled about Zendaya’s upcoming tennis-themed movie, “Challengers,” and extended an invitation for Zendaya to practice tennis with her anytime.
Zendaya’s presence at the game was not just for leisure; it was also a work commitment. She is gearing up for the press tour of her new movie “Challengers,” where she stars as Tashi Duncan, a famous tennis player entangled in a love triangle with two other athletes, portrayed by Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. The movie is eagerly awaited by fans and is set to premiere on April 26.
The Tennis Channel playfully acknowledged Zendaya and Holland’s attendance, making a reference to their respective roles in “Challengers” and as Spider-Man. This clever nod added a touch of humor to the occasion.
Zendaya and Holland’s relationship, while filled with public interest, has been kept relatively private. Their romance was confirmed when they were spotted sharing a kiss in July 2021. Since then, they have gradually become more open about their love for each other.
A source revealed to Us Weekly in July 2023 that both Zendaya and Tom initially aimed to keep their relationship away from the public eye. They shared a mutual understanding of maintaining privacy, which brought them closer in the early stages of their relationship. However, as their relationship became public, they embraced the reality and no longer shy away from expressing their love for each other.
Zendaya’s recent press tour for “Dune: Part Two” saw her mentioning Holland multiple times, showcasing the deep connection they share. Despite Holland’s humble admission of having “no rizz,” their relationship flourished, proving that their bond goes beyond superficial charm.
Tom Holland’s support for Zendaya extends to professional events as well, such as attending the “Dune: Part Two” afterparty in London. Their coordinated outfits and shared moments at the event highlighted their strong partnership.
Holland’s contentment in his relationship with Zendaya is evident. Meeting on the set of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” in 2016, their on-screen chemistry as Peter Parker and MJ eventually translated into a real-life romance, captivating fans worldwide.
