Although Zendaya is known for her roles in films and television, she has appeared in music videos for various artists.

A year before she appeared on Spider-Man: Homecoming, Zendaya was in the headlines in 2016 after rumours of her romance with Odell Beckham Jr. started trending. The reports started with the duo coming out of a party. Although Zendaya and Odell Beckham Jr. never shared a direct response to the rumours from their side, the former’s father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, dismissed the reports. According to TMZ, Kazembe addressed the rumours related to his daughter by saying:
“There’s no relationship. When you see my daughter out on a date without me, it’s a relationship. It’s like an audition. It’s an interview.”
As mentioned, Zendaya has been a part of the HBO teen drama series, Euphoria. The show started filming in 2018, and Jacob Elordi was also a part of the same, where he appeared as 'Nate Jacobs.' During the filming process, Zendaya and Jacob Elordi went to Athens, Greece, for a vacation. While speaking to Us Weekly, an eyewitness claimed that the duo reportedly appeared comfortable with each other and “being a little flirty” as they walked together. Zendaya and Jacob were also seen going to a movie in 2019.

As the reports of their romance continued, Jacob Elordi told GQ during an interview in 2020 that Zendaya was like his sister. Jacob even described Zendaya’s work in the same conversation, saying that she was an incredible artist and an individual who cared for everyone, alongside being an “amazing creative” at the same time.
The rumours of Tom Holland and Zendaya’s relationship emerged in 2017, the same year that Spider-Man: Homecoming arrived in theatres. An insider claimed that the duo had been seeing each other and were doing their best to keep the romance private. The relationship became official in September 2021 after Tom Holland shared a photo on Instagram. The pair continued sharing social media posts about each other and even accompanied each other on various occasions, including the premiere of Uncharted in 2022.
In January 2025, reports of Zendaya and Tom’s engagement started trending after Zendaya was spotted wearing a diamond on her left ring finger at the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards. Although Zendaya and Tom did not respond to the reports, PEOPLE revealed a few hours later that the news was true. An insider claimed that Tom popped the question when he and Zendaya were enjoying their Christmas and New Year holidays.
