The Spider-Man: Far From Home star did not specify when or where the photo was taken or whether the diving adventure was part of the birthday festivities.

The very private couple also plays golf together, according to an interview Tom gave The Hollywood reporter in June.

“I gave her a few lessons. She’s very talented by nature, a real athlete, so she picked it up very quickly,” he told the outlet.

The athletic couple also recently showed off their basketball skills during a recent visit to Zendaya’s hometown of Oakland.

They first got into a romantic relationship in 2017 after showing off their electric chemistry in the latest Spider-Man movies.

In September 2021, they finally confirmed their romance and made their relationship official on Instagram.

Zendaya was supposed to celebrate her big day in Italy.

Her latest film, Challengers, would premiere there at the Venice Film Festival.

The drama focuses on three tennis rivals caught in a romantic triangle that begins in their teens and continues into adulthood.

Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist star as best friends turned fierce competitors.

However, MGM, the studio that owns the drama, pulled the film from its lineup due to the ongoing strike by the actors.

Union rules prevent Zendaya and all 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA from promoting projects conducted under previous contracts with the studios and streamers who are members of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

The release date for Dune: Part Two, starring Zendaya, Timothy Chalamet, Florence Pugh and Dave Batista, has been pushed back to March 15, 2024.

The move was made in anticipation that the actors and Hollywood studios will have signed a new contract by then.
