They have been dubbed the ultimate GenZ supercouple, even getting their own celebrity moniker Tomdaya! Movie heartthrobs Tom Holland and Zendaya are set to star in the new blockbuster The Odyssey, and the husband-and-wife duo are now the hottest thing in Hollywood.
Epic action movie The Odyssey charts the story of heavenly fantasy figures and dashing heroes so its no surprise that director Christopher Nolan opted to cast starry, real-life dream team Tom Holland and Zendaya in his 186million film.
Based on Homers famous poem the flick will see British-born actor Tom Holland play Telemachus, the only son of the ancient Greek hero Odysseus, played by Matt Damon.
Meanwhile his stunning American wife Zendaya takes on the role of Athena, goddess of wisdom. And while the pair might not get share much screen time together, theres no doubt theyre an impressive unit. Tom was on set to support his other halfs performances saying: I was like Im here if you need me.
Tomdaya have become box office dynamite in recent years and are now rivalling former celebrity pairings like Bennifer and Brangelina as movers and shakers. Theyre the ultimate cool power couple in showbiz, says TV body language expert Judi James.
Tom, 30, the son of a comedian dad and photographer mum, got his break in the Billy Elliot musical and has gone on to become a smash hit in the Spider-Man film franchise.
Meanwhile Zendaya Coleman, 29, the daughter of teachers, grew up in California. She has become a household name with roles in TV shows like teen drama Euphoria and the Dune sci-fi movie series.
While Zendaya has deals with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, and Lancme, hes an ambassador for Prada and has launched his own non-alcoholic beer brand called Bero. Their combined wealth has been estimated at cool 40 million.
The devoted couple met on the set of Spider-Man Homecoming in 2016, and have gone on to star together in the sequels, with Zendaya playing the superheros love interest MJ.
But it wasnt until 2021, after they were snapped kissing in a car in Los Angeles and then attended a pals wedding together, that they were confirmed as an item.
They continued to be fiercely private about their relationship, but there were clues as to how much they cared for each other. She was spotted wearing a ring with the initials TH and he wore jeans with a Z stitched on to the back pocket.
Zendaya admits: You cant hide. Thats not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now. In 2025 she flashed a diamond engagement at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
But the couple kept fans guessing about their nuptials until it was confirmed that they had married in secret, earlier this year. Asked if their families were fooled by fake AI images of their wedding, Tom said: No, because they were all there. He also added: I found my person. Shes my best friend and I'm the happiest I've ever been.
The pair now split their time between a home in South-West London and pads in California and New York. And while Tom owns top-end motors like a Rolls Royce Cullinan and Porsche Taycan, the pairs everyday habits are surprisingly down to earth.
They have been known to drop into unfussy eateries together, enjoying grocery shopping in supermarkets and walking their dogs in local parks.
One of their pooches, a miniature schnauzer called Noon, has become a star itself, with 41,000 followers on Instagram. Zendaya, with 175million followers, says: They get their fancy meals with the vitamin supplements. It sounds very ridiculous when I talk about it, but I love my child. Thats probably the most ridiculous Hollywood thing about me: how my dog be living.
The couple have laughed off comments about their mismatched height Tom is 5ft 8in and Zendaya 5ft 10in as ridiculous. And, according to Judi James, its a general air of ordinariness, amid the glamour and fame, thats the secret to the pairs soft power and popularity, especially with Gen Z.
She adds: Zendaya and Tom don't do narrative or publicity and there are no 'pay and display' moments of them engineering a snuggling coffee run for their own 'paparazzi' photographer or using each other as show-ponies on the red carpet when they have a film to plug.
One signal the couple do emit is a sense of mutual respect. Their 'in love' body language is totally relatable to Gen Z. They know they're in love so they have no need to yell it to the world.
They are non-preciously private about their relationship. This creates a new form of high-status privacy that shows Gen Z the path to nouveau-elegance and class. It's the perfect and timely antidote to all the 'life laid bare' rabid attention-seeking from most other A-listers of their age-group.
