Zendaya might want to keep her relationship with Tom Holland private, but she knows she “can’t hide” it either.
The lovebirds didn’t confirm their romance until 2021, but had been romantically linked for a few years before that.
In a new interview with Elle, Zendaya shared after the reporter mentioned a photo of her and Holland on a boat ride in Venice, “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public.
“I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”

“I had to pick up his poo, and I was like, ‘Lord, please, don’t take a picture of me picking up my dog’s s**t.’ There’s a picture of me holding the bag, but thankfully they spared the grabbing and the putting it in the bag part.”
Zendaya really began to notice people’s interest in her fame-wise while filming in Boston in the spring of 2022.
