Zendaya calls Tom Holland 'My Spider-Man' in adorable throwback Instagram post

Tom Holland and Zendaya very selectively acknowledge their relationship publicly, but when they do, it is always certifiably adorable.

Zendaya took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a throwback photo of Holland dressed up as Spider-Man as a child alongside a more recent of the 25-year-old actor playing the iconic superhero for real.

"My Spider-Man," the Emmy-winning actress captioned the photos. "I'm so proud of you, some things never change and good thing."

On Thursday, meanwhile, Holland celebrated the theatrical release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home."

Holland and Zendaya have costarred as Peter Parker and MJ, respectively, for the duration of director Jon Watts' Sony Spider-Man trilogy: "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Spider-Man: Far from Home" (2019) and now "No Way Home."

Fans have always held out hope that their romance spilled from the screen to real life, but rumors really started heating up when paparazzi caught the two making out in a car this summer.

"One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world," Holland said of that moment in his GQ "Man of the Year" cover story published last month.

Holland added, speaking of publicly discussing his relationship with Zendaya: "It’s not a conversation that I can have without her. You know, I respect her too much to say… This isn’t my story. It’s our story. And we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together."

Until then, keep checking their Instagram feeds.
