J.B. Smoove calls 'Spider-Man' costars Tom Holland and Zendaya 'the most adorable couple ever'

J.B. Smoove is one of Tom Holland and Zendaya's biggest fans—and there are plenty of them.

"I love those two. I love them so much," Smoove told Entertainment Tonight at the American Music Awards, later adding that they are "the most adorable couple ever in the history of adorableness."

Smoove shares the screen with Holland and Zendaya as Mr. Dell in Spider-Man: No Way Home, due Dec. 17, and he first played Mr. Dell in 2019's Spider-Man: Far from Home. Holland, of course, has portrayed Spider-Man/Peter Parker since 2016, while Zendaya has played MJ, his best friend and love interest, across director Jon Watts' trilogy.

Fans have speculated about Holland and Zendaya's relationship status for years, but rumors really heated up in July when paparazzi caught the pair kissing in the car.

Holland commented on the relationship for a GQ "Man of the Year" cover story, published Nov. 17.

"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," the 25-year-old actor said of those now-viral photos. "I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy."

Holland continued: "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."

And Zendaya also lent her voice: "I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

Eyes will certainly be peeled for romantic moments between them as the rollout for Spider-Man: No Way Home kicks into gear ahead of its theatrical release. Watch the trailer below.
