Zendaya and Tom Holland Had Their First Public Date of 2024 at the BNP Paribas Open

Zendaya’s movie Challengers isn’t out until April 26, but the actress’s latest public appearance gives a big nod to the upcoming tennis film. Zendaya attended the men’s final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, yesterday. Joining her was her boyfriend, Tom Holland. The couple was photographed and filmed in the Tennis Channel’s suite together during their very rare public date. At one point, they were jamming to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)”:

Zendaya was dressed impeccably in Louis Vuitton, pairing a white tennis skirt with a matching sweater and T-shirt. Holland wore a white T-shirt too with an open burgundy top and sunglasses.

While Zendaya and Holland have never posed at a red carpet event as a couple, they have been vocally supportive of each other’s projects in interviews and on social media. Holland notably has reposted Challengers promotional material on his Instagram Story:

Zendaya also gave Holland a shout-out during her Dune: Part Two press tour earlier this year. When asked who on the cast had the most rizz, Zendaya told Buzzfeed, “Rizz is short for charisma, right? Everybody’s kind of got their own. I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but I know, personally, works for me is Mr. Tom Holland. I’m more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know people. You see him on talk shows and stuff like that. He’s just naturally very good at that. Whereas for me, I’ve definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He’s got that natural gift.”
