Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland put an end to split speculation as they enjoyed some rare PDA at the premiere of her steamy sports movie Challengers.
After stunning on the red carpet, the 27-year-old actress headed to the Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square for a screening of the film, while Tom was in the audience.
In footage captured by a fan on social media, Tom, 27, leaned in for a kiss with his girlfriend before the pair shared a sweet embrace.
It was a surprise appearance for the Spiderman star, who didn’t walk the red carpet earlier in the evening.
Zendaya and Tom met on the set of Spiderman: Homecoming in 2017, but have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye.

After stunning on the red carpet, the actress headed to the Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square for a screening of the film, with Tom in the audience.
Rumors began circulating in January that the couple was no longer together when Zendaya unfollowed Tom on Instagram.
However, Zendaya unfollowed everyone and Tom still followed her.
Adding to fans’ concerns was the fact that the Golden Globe-winning actress and the Spider-Man actor had not been photographed together since October 25, when they were running errands in Los Angeles.
But again, a source with direct knowledge said the couple wasn’t seen together until New Year’s Eve, according to TMZ.
The Dune star recently gave a rare insight into her romance with the actor in an interview with British Vogue, saying he has handled his own fame “beautifully.”
About her relationship, she said: “We were both very, very young, but my career was already kind of taking off, and his changed overnight.
“I definitely saw how life changed for him. But he handled it very nicely.’
Zendaya also revealed that she has also considered the prospect of starting a family in the public eye, admitting that she doesn’t want her future children to “have to deal with her fame.”

She said: ‘It’s a matter of sustainability, how she can continue to make this demanding business that she loves work for her.
‘Because I don’t necessarily want my children to have to deal with this [fame]”… and what does my future look like? Will I be a public person forever?’
Discussing her fame, she added, “You just kind of get used to, ‘Oh, I’m also one of those works of art that you’re going to take a picture of.’ I just have to be totally cool. with it and just live my life.”
‘I think growing up I always felt like if someone asks for a photo, I always have to do it. You have to say yes, because you just have to be grateful that you are here.
“And while I still feel that way, I’ve also learned that I can say no, and I can kindly say that I have the day off, or that I’m just trying to be myself today, and I’m not really doing that. have to perform all the time.’
Zendaya also lent her support to Tom during his performance in a Romeo and Juliet play that became embroiled in a racism controversy.
Tom will play Romeo in the upcoming West End production, while Juliet will be played by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.
Social media was later flooded with a “barrage of deplorable racist abuse” over the various castings, prompting the theater company to release a statement condemning the abuse Francesca received.
Zendaya told Fashion that she “couldn’t be more proud” of Tom, adding: “I’m going to try to see as many shows as I can.”
