Tom Holland Skipping the Red Carpet for Zendaya is Proof He’s the Ultimate Supportive Partner

Tom Holland and Zendaya are easily one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, but they have always been private about their relationship. That’s why it came as no surprise when Holland explained why he often skips red carpets where Zendaya is the main event. In a recent interview, he revealed that his absence is intentional—he doesn’t want to take the spotlight away from her big moments. And honestly? He’s right.

At the Golden Globes this year, Tom Holland wasn’t even in attendance, but a single piece of jewelry—an engagement ring on Zendaya's finger —was enough to overshadow her actual work. As People reported, speculation exploded online when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on that finger in an Instagram Story posted by her longtime nail artist. Suddenly, Zendaya’s Golden Globe nominations for Challengers were barely part of the conversation.



Now, imagine if Holland had actually been on that carpet with her. The headlines wouldn’t have been about her achievements but about their relationship, their body language, their outfits side by side—anything but the work she was being honored for. And that’s exactly what Holland wants to avoid. In an interview with HuffPost, he made it clear: “This is about her, and I don’t want to take that away from her.”

It’s rare to see a Hollywood couple where one partner is so acutely aware of their impact on the other’s career. We’ve seen too many instances where a woman’s achievements get reduced to her relationship status (cough Taylor Swift cough). But Holland understands that Zendaya deserves to shine on her own.




He’s not being distant or unsupportive—he’s doing the opposite. He’s giving her the space to be recognized for her own accomplishments, separate from their relationship.

And let’s be real: the fact that Zendaya only had to exist, with a ring on her finger, to shift the entire internet’s focus from her career to her personal life just proves his point.

Holland choosing to step back in these moments isn’t a lack of love—it’s an act of deep respect. And honestly? More celebrity partners should take notes.
