Zendaya and Tom Holland’s height difference makes them an ‘odd couple’
Latonja Coleman, Zendaya‘s half-sister, had a few thoughts on the height difference between the actor-singer and Tom Holland. During an interview with The Sun, the 51-year-old shared her thoughts on the star couple’s relationship. Latonja said, “They’ve been together for quite some time and I actually met him on Thanksgiving of 2018.” She complimented Tom and added that he was “really, really cool.”
Latonja also shared the “Spider-Man” star is “down to earth” and that her “family likes him.” She then continued to comment on Tom and Zendaya’s height difference. Latonja said, “They just look like an odd couple because he’s so short and she’s so tall.” She added, “But other than that, I think he’s the one for her.” The interview came after earlier this year, there was a buzz about Tom and Zendaya getting engaged.
In January 2025, Zendaya debuted a big rock on her ring finger while attending the Golden Globes. While the 28-year-old walked the red carpet in a stunning Louis Vuitton silk gown, it was her dazzling diamond ring that stole the spotlight. According to The Sun, Tom and Zendaya reportedly got engaged sometime between Christmas and New Year’s Eve in 2024.
Tom and Zendaya have been romantically involved for many years. The star pair’s dating history has continued to catch fans’ fascination despite them keeping their relationship discrete. Zendaya and Tom first crossed paths when they were cast together in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The two confirmed their romance in 2021 after years of speculation. Years later, they still are one of Hollywood’s most beloved pairs.
