Tom Holland, the popular actor best known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently responded to Marlon Humphrey’s plea for his rumored girlfriend, Zendaya, to leave him alone. The interaction took place on social media, where Humphrey publicly begged Zendaya to “back off” and give him some space. However, Holland quickly stepped in and defended his relationship with Zendaya.

Holland’s sarcastic response immediately shut down any speculation about his relationship with Zendaya.

It clearly conveyed that he was not threatened by Humphrey’s comment and that he firmly believed Zendaya was interested in him, rather than the football player.

Tom Holland and Zendaya have reportedly been dating since 2016, although they have managed to keep their relationship mostly under wraps. Their on-screen chemistry in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home sparked rumors of a real-life romance, which were further fueled by sightings of the pair spending time together off set. However, both actors have been tight-lipped about their relationship and prefer to keep their personal lives private.
