Zendaya’s Complete Dating History From Trevor Jackson to Husband Tom Holland

Share:

Zendaya has spent well over a decade in the public eye, and for most of that time she has kept her personal life remarkably guarded. Even so, a handful of relationships and rumored romances have surfaced over the years, each offering a small window into her life away from film sets and red carpets.

From a Disney Channel era rumor to a marriage that reportedly happened in secret, here is a look at every man Zendaya has been linked to, based on what has been reported and confirmed so far.

Trevor Jackson

Zendaya and Trevor Jackson first drew attention as a couple after she appeared as his love interest in the music video for his single ‘Like We Grown,’ with the two having known each other since Zendaya was around 12 years old, given their shared history as Disney alumni, with Zendaya arriving on the scene in 2010 on ‘Shake It Up’ while Jackson made his own mark around the same period.

For years, both of them dismissed any romantic framing of their bond. Zendaya referred to Trevor as her best friend in the whole world in 2014, and Trevor laughed off the dating rumors at the time, saying they were just friends despite how close they were.

The story took a turn in 2017 when Zendaya spoke to Vogue about an anonymous ex of four years, calling him her first love. Zendaya was reportedly with Jackson for four years from 2013 to 2017, though the relationship was kept out of the public eye until it ended, which is why fans connected the Vogue interview directly to him.

Jackson himself never fully closed the door on the idea. Speaking to J-14, he suggested that a relationship between them was not out of the question, saying that if it happened, it happened, even as he continued to describe their bond publicly as strictly platonic.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Talk of a romance between Zendaya and NFL player Odell Beckham Jr surfaced in 2016 after the two showed up to a Grammys afterparty together with their arms linked, sending speculation rippling through both fans and the media at the time.

The pairing was unexpected given their very different worlds, an actress and singer on one side and a professional football player on the other, which is part of why the sighting generated so much attention in the first place.

Neither Zendaya nor Beckham Jr ever confirmed a relationship, and the rumor faded relatively quickly compared to the speculation that followed her other connections. It remains one of the more fleeting entries in her dating history, built almost entirely on a single public appearance rather than any ongoing pattern of sightings.

Zendaya’s ‘Euphoria’ co-star Jacob Elordi became the subject of dating rumors in August 2019, when the two were seen vacationing together in Greece. That November, it was reported that Zendaya had spent Thanksgiving with Elordi and his family in Australia.

Both actors maintained that they were only friends throughout this period. In an interview with GQ Australia, Elordi insisted they were just friends, describing Zendaya as being like his sister, a line that fueled plenty of skepticism among fans who had watched their chemistry play out on screen in ‘Euphoria.’

Even so, the pair were spotted in New York City that February, where Elordi was seen kissing Zendaya’s head. Elordi later spoke warmly about her professionally, telling GQ in December 2020 that Zendaya is an amazing creative who is super dope to work with, along with being an incredible artist and a very caring person to everyone around her.

By 2020, attention had shifted elsewhere after Elordi began seeing model Kaia Gerber, and speculation about Zendaya circled back toward an old co-star instead.

Zendaya and Tom Holland met while filming ‘Spider-Man Homecoming,’ with their on screen chemistry as Peter Parker and MJ eventually giving way to real speculation about their relationship. Speculation about the pairing began in 2016 when the duo co-starred in the film, and while they initially denied the rumors, their relationship became public in 2021 when paparazzi photographed them kissing in a car.

Engagement rumors followed a few years later. Rumors began circulating in January 2025 when Zendaya attended the Golden Globes with a large diamond on her left ring finger, and she showed it off to others at the event in videos that spread across social media. People and TMZ later reported, citing sources, that Holland proposed at one of Zendaya’s family homes over the holidays.

The most significant update arrived in 2026. Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach told Access Hollywood on the red carpet of the 2026 Actor Awards that the wedding has already happened, adding that fans had missed it. Around the same time, Tom Holland confirmed during an interview that his friends and family were all there for the wedding, and the couple reportedly hosted a wedding reception at the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey, England, not far from Holland’s hometown of Kingston upon Thames.

Holland has continued to speak fondly of the relationship since the news broke. He described Zendaya as his best friend, saying he has never felt so supported and safe, and that he is the happiest he has ever been when he is with her. The two are set to reunite on screen this year, with the pair reprising their roles as Peter Parker and Michelle Jones Watson in ‘Spider-Man Brand New Day,’ and also sharing the screen together in ‘The Odyssey’ from director Christopher Nolan.

From a rumored Disney era romance to a wedding celebrated quietly in the English countryside, Zendaya’s love life has played out largely on her own terms, with most of the real details only surfacing well after the fact. Now that Tom Holland has effectively confirmed the marriage himself, do you think this closes the book on the “Tomdaya” story, or is there still more Zendaya and Holland will eventually share publicly.
