Zendaya Reportedly Wants Sydney Sweeney to “Back Off” From Tom Holland Amid Growing Tension

Zendaya is reportedly feeling uneasy about Sydney Sweeney getting too close to her fiancé Tom Holland, according to recent reports from insiders. The tension comes as the cast of Euphoria gears up for the promotional tour of the highly anticipated third season, which returns on April 12.

Sources say that Zendaya became uncomfortable during filming last year when Holland, known for being friendly and outgoing, spent time talking with Sweeney on set. “Tom is very friendly and chatty, so when he’s around, he makes an effort with everyone — that’s just who he is,” one insider explained. However, these casual interactions reportedly struck a nerve with Zendaya, who allegedly doesn’t fully trust Sweeney getting close to her fiancé.

The report adds that Zendaya has “warned Sydney to stay away from Tom” in preparation for upcoming red carpets and press events. While she isn’t trying to control Holland’s friendships, her discomfort with Sweeney’s proximity seems to be driving the tension.

Holland, who got engaged to Zendaya in late 2024, has been a constant presence on the Euphoria set, but sources insist his intentions were never flirtatious. Meanwhile, Sweeney has been busy professionally, filming the Kim Novak biopic Scandalous and riding the success of The Housemaid.

All three stars are at the top of their careers. Zendaya is set for a massive 2026 with roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the romantic drama The Drama alongside Robert Pattinson, and Dune: Part Three. Holland will play Telemachus in The Odyssey and reprise Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

While the third season of Euphoria promises big cultural impact, the reported tension adds a dramatic element off-screen. Fans will be watching to see how the cast interacts during the press tour and whether the rumored friction will affect appearances and interviews.

Behind-the-scenes drama is almost inevitable when multiple high-profile stars collide, especially with press events and major career moves on the horizon. Whether this tension is real or exaggerated by the tabloids, it will definitely add another layer of intrigue to the upcoming Euphoria tour. Do you think Zendaya and Sweeney can work through this, or will the reported friction be hard to hide in public? Share your thoughts in the comments.
