Tom Holland's late-night Google habit reveals just how protective he is over Zendaya

Tom Holland may be one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, but he still grapples with something many of his fans can relate to - anxiety. And this anxiety, he recently revealed, has led him to a surprising habit: secretly Googling his girlfriend, Zendaya.

During a conversation on the "On the Menu" podcast, the 28-year-old "Spider-Man" star opened up about his relationship with social media, or rather, his aversion to it. Holland explained that he isn't active on social media and often deletes the apps entirely. Yet, in moments of worry, he occasionally turns to Google for reassurance, especially when it comes to Zendaya. "I'll check to see if everything's good and just make sure we're all cool," he shared, admitting that a quick search helps him feel grounded.

Holland's protectiveness over Zendaya, also 28, extends beyond his quiet Google checks. The actor's instinct to shield his girlfriend became visibly apparent during a recent New York City outing. A viral video from that evening captured Holland calmly steering paparazzi out of the way to clear a path for the "Euphoria" actress, subtly showcasing his desire to keep her safe from the intense media spotlight.

Later that night, Holland's protective side surfaced again as Zendaya paused to sign autographs for fans. With the crowd growing, Holland was seen gently guiding her through the swarm, ultimately leading her away from the chaos. It was a rare public display from a couple known for keeping their private life close to the chest.

The actors have become Hollywood's power couple

The two actors, who first met on the set of the "Spider-Man" films, officially became a Hollywood power couple in July 2021 after being spotted together in Los Angeles. Since then, their low-key relationship has garnered admiration, both for its longevity and the couple's ability to stay grounded amidst global fame.

Their bond extends beyond simple gestures, with both often sharing how much they mean to one another. Holland once described Zendaya as a "shoulder to cry on," while Zendaya has praised the support and stability he provides. Despite their understated romance, moments like these - whether an occasional Google search or a quiet moment in a bustling crowd - reveal the lengths to which Holland goes to ensure Zendaya's well-being, even if it's just to calm his own nerves.
