Tom Holland has made a rare admission about what it's like to work alongside his real-life girlfriend Zendaya.
The actors famously met on set Spider-Man: Homecoming back in 2016 and were subject to dating rumours for several years before finally confirming their relationship in 2021.
Holland and Zendaya are notoriously private about their romance, asides from the occasional Instagram post. However, the Uncharted star did reveal what it's like alongside his girlfriend during a recent interview on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett's podcast, Dish from Waitrose.

During the interview, Grimshaw asked whether or not it was true that Zendaya enjoyed working together as it meant they shared the same working schedule, which is often a major obstacle in celebrity relationships.
"Studios love it, one hotel room," he joked (via Metro), before adding they take separate cars to and from set. Separate drivers. We’re not crazy now. Listen it’s work, alright?!"
Gotta keep things professional after all.
On a more serious note, Holland went on to say that his relationship with Zendaya was the 'best thing' that's happened to him.
"It’s a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he added.
"It’s just that perfect thing when you’re on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don’t agree with, or I know that she doesn’t particularly like, and it’s just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, can’t wait to talk about that later."

Holland and Zendaya will soon be swinging back into the Spider-Man universe, with the fourth instalment currently scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 24 July, 2026.
Outside of Marvel the couple are also confirmed to be collaborating in their first non project together next year, with the pair being cast in a currently untitled Christopher Nolan movie alongside Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway.
Zendaya previously spoke about what it was like to work with her partner in an interview with Vanity Fair back in November, revealing that it was 'strangely comfortable' to work with Holland.
"It’s like second nature, if anything," she explained. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him.

"He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."
