Going Strong? Zendaya Attends Wimbledon But Tom Was Noticeably Absent

Although known as a fashion icon and actress, Zendaya is tied to our favorite neighborhood Spiderman, Tom Holland, and to be quite honest, we haven’t seen much PDA from the couple lately. But of course, this is understandable considering she was on a press tour for Dune: Part 2 and then shortly after had to do her press run for Challengers, which was followed by the Met Gala and dinner at Anna Wintour’s house.

Now, we’re fast-forwarding to Wimbledon, and Tom is noticeably absent. According to a source close to Zendaya, despite Tom’s request to attend the tennis tournament alongside her, she opted out and instead brought her mother along.

Zendaya has, of course, shown support for her beau as Romeo in London. Tom Holland has expressed his disinterest in the limelight and prefers a more relaxed life outside of the spotlight, which could be why he opted to transition to theater. The couple was last seen together on May 23, 2024, leaving the Duke of York’s Theater holding hands after a press night of Holland’s newest musical play, Romeo and Juliet.

While Zendaya is out doing her thing, Tom is, well, doing his. Maintaining a long-distance relationship, of course, can come with its challenges, which is why it’s a bit concerning that despite asking to be in attendance with his girlfriend, Zendaya allegedly said no.

THE RETURN OF EUPHORIA

Recently, HBO shared that they are setting up to begin production of Euphoria season three in January 2025. Honestly, I think this show is terribly written; I’ve held this opinion since season one. However, it’s the acting from Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, Hunter Shafer, Angus Cloud (R.I.P.)—sidenote, Abigail is a fantastic film, highly recommended—Javon Walton, Jacob Elordi, and Alexa Demie that literally saves this show!

I think Zendaya has outgrown this series, and her reverting back to this high school addict in a poorly written show just doesn’t seem right. I believe that given the level of her fame, she should sit this one out unless they intend to kill her off in the first few episodes. Because last we left off, she had stolen drugs/money from that lady and escaped when she tried to traffic her to recoup the losses. Let’s wrap this up, shall we?

As a viewer, even I had a better idea for the development of the story—I felt like Rue should have disclosed the level of trouble she was in to Jules (like, let it slip because she’s not always coherent), and then with the help of Jules, recruit the other cast members to help her sell the drugs and make the money back. It would be an awesome story because it would be different. I don’t expect a bunch of middle-class high school students to sell drugs while simultaneously handling their hormones and adolescent problems.

Cassie would be the first to crack, and the rest would have to pick up the pieces, or she would be killed off—drug dealer and sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend, talk about drama. Either way, the story wouldn’t be as predictable with a bunch of plot holes and a terrible play. I had to try my very best to get through that awful play—the whole scene ran on way longer than it should have.

Imagine this, Maddie snitching on Cassie to the lady so she would take her out as revenge for sleeping with her boyfriend. Anyways, I digress. This relationship between Zendaya and Tom seems rocky at best, and now, with her adding Euphoria back to the schedule on top of appearances, we don’t see them lasting much longer.

*Update: Zendaya and Tom Holland are reportedly engaged and we will be keeping up with the story!
