Tom Holland revealed the real reason he Googles his Spider-Man co-star and girlfriend Zendaya.

During an interview with Samah Dada for On the Menu, Holland was asked if he remembers the last thing he Googled. He revealed it to be his girlfriend, something he does somewhat frequently to keep tabs on his partner.

“The last thing I Googled was actually ‘Zendaya,'” he revealed. “I'm not on socials, and I actually delete it when I'm not using it.”

He explained that it has to do with his anxiety. Holland will make sure “we're all cool” and that she is fine in the news section of Google before calming down.

Holland and Zendaya have been dating for years. They first met while filming Holland's first solo Spider-Man movie, Homecoming. They also play on-screen love interests Peter Parker and MJ, respectively.

On the big screen, their characters are not currently dating. Those who saw No Way Home will remember the spell that Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) placed that made everyone forget Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

To their credit, Holland and Zendaya keep a low profile when it comes to their relationship. They have been going steady since then and are one of pop culture's biggest couples.
