In a 14 June interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland opened up about how cautious he is of publicly sharing his relationship with Zendaya, explaining, "[It's] something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," he said. "We don't think that we owe it to anyone, it's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers." However, he did admit that they've been working on her golfing skills together. "I've given her a few lessons. She's very naturally talented, a real athlete, so she picked it up really quickly."
However, a day later, in an interview with Buzzfeed, the actor found almost every opportunity to slip in a mention of his girlfriend. He revealed that it's "intense" when Zendaya slides into his DMs with memes. "I'll have hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds, of [memes] from her. I try and keep up, but it's intense," he revealed, also adding the fact that she was his childhood crush.
In a 23 June interview with UNILAD, he divulged some additional information about the early days of their courtship. "I fixed my girlfriend's door once really early on in our relationship," he said. "I was hanging out at her house and her door was broken. I was like, 'I'm gonna fix that door for you.' And now, we're in love."
Then, in July, Holland discussed his bond with Zendaya on an episode of Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett's podcast "SmartLess," saying that he felt "lucky" to be going through the twists and turns of fame by her side. "You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff," he said, "and that's worth its weight in gold."
