Zendaya may keep her personal life largely under wraps, but she’s opening up in a rare way about her relationship with Tom Holland. In her first interview of 2026, the Oakland-born star shared a glimpse into their life in London, and didn’t hold back when it came to praising her fiancé.

“Honestly, I know people might think it’s awkward, he is my favourite person to work with,” she told The Mirror. “On set, he has this huge calming presence that not only puts me at ease but also everybody he works with.”

Zendaya even acknowledged her bias, but made it clear her admiration is real. “I might be a little biased, but he is not only my favorite person, but he is also my favorite person to work with,” she said.

Zendaya Opens Up About Balancing Love And Privacy

Zendaya also got candid about the challenges of maintaining a relationship in the public eye with Tom Holland. “Neither of us want to hide and not live our lives and do normal things like go out for dinner, but at the same time we want to protect our privacy,” she shared.

For Zendaya, it’s all about finding that middle ground, embracing real life while still setting firm boundaries. “You have to accept that to a degree some aspects of your privacy are going to be out of your control,” she continued. “But the parts that are in our control, we fiercely protect.”

Reflecting On Growing Up In The Spotlight

Zendaya also opened up about her complicated relationship with fame, which began at a young age during her time on “Shake It Up.”

Having risen to stardom as a teenager, Zendaya admitted that while she’s grateful for the opportunities, the experience came with sacrifices. “On one hand, I am grateful for the opportunities and experience, then on the other, there is no doubt I missed out on a lot of regular teenage stuff,” she shared.

She also credited her parents for helping her stay grounded during such a formative time in her life. “My parents were and are super protective of me,” Zendaya continued. “I wouldn’t have been able to navigate being in the industry at such a young age without them.”

Zendaya Reveals The One Red Flag She Always Looks For

In a more recent interview, Zendaya weighed in on what instantly raises a red flag for her, especially when it comes to working in Hollywood. “One that works for us at work is how people treat their crews,” she said, emphasizing that kindness behind the scenes matters just as much as what audiences see on screen.

For Zendaya, respect shouldn’t be reserved for those in the spotlight. “I admire people who are kind to everyone, not just the actors, directors, or producers,” she explained.

And when it comes to truly understanding someone’s character, she pointed to one group in particular. “A very telling thing is how a crew feels about a particular actor,” the actress added. “Because they get to see how people are when the cameras are not rolling.”
