Holland revealed that their shared experiences in the Spider-Man films played a significant role in deepening their bond. He emphasized the importance of having someone who understands the unique challenges and demands of the entertainment industry like him.

"I'm lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life," Holland said, per People magazine. "It's interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone that is in the same boat as you."

He added, "You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff and that's worth its weight in gold."

The "Crowded Room" actor recently delighted fans with an endearing tale about how he used his carpentry skills to impress the "Euphoria" star early in their relationship. The actor revealed that he helped fix a broken door for Zendaya's apartment, showcasing his craftsmanship and creativity.

"Carpentry is something I just really enjoy," Holland said in a recent interview with Unilad. "I made my mum's kitchen table. I made my mum's office. I built all the cupboards in my bedroom. I built a little birdhouse with my granddad. I fixed my girlfriend's door once really early on in our relationship."

"I was hanging out at her house, and her door was broken," he added. "I was like, 'I'm gonna fix that door for you.' And now we're in love."

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland emphasized the couple's preference for keeping their relationship sacred and out of the public eye. Despite their status as high-profile celebrities, Holland and Zendaya have made a conscious effort to maintain a level of privacy and protect the intimacy of their personal lives.

While their fans may eagerly await glimpses of their romance, Holland and Zendaya's decision to prioritize privacy underscores their commitment to preserving their relationship's authenticity and longevity. By guarding their personal lives, they can fully appreciate and enjoy the moments they share, unencumbered by external pressures.

"Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Holland stated. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."

In his THR interview, Holland expressed his excitement at the thought of collaborating with the stunning actress again on a future project. The actor revealed that he thoroughly enjoyed working with her on the Spider-Man films and would love to find another opportunity to share the screen with his girlfriend.

The couple were first linked in 2017 after starring together in the Spider-Man franchise. Holland and Zendaya then went public with their romance in 2021 after they were spotted kissing.

They have since nurtured their relationship into a stronger bond, and reports claim they're entering into "settling-down" mode and are planning for a future together. A source told Us Weekly that their relationship has reached a critical juncture, with discussions focusing on shared aspirations and long-term objectives to become "serious and permanent."

"They're both in settling-down mode and are absolutely planning for a real future together," the source noted of the fan-favorite couple.
