One of the things Tom Holland said about his relationship with Zendaya was in an interview with Men’s Health, where he explained why he doesn’t walk the red carpets with her at his events, saying simply, “It’s not my time, it’s her time, and if we go together, it’s for us.” That one sentence is a lesson in itself. Knowing when to step back, enjoy the sidelines, and let your partner have their moment is a rare thing, and it’s one that this couple has demonstrated time and time again. After Zendaya won her second Emmy, she told E! The story of the first person to send a text message to his girlfriend. He was not standing next to her on that stage. He didn’t have to.
