'The Drama' star Zendaya shares thoughts on marriages built on friendship

Hollywood actress Zendaya, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'The Drama', believes in the friends to lovers trope. Zendaya, 29, recently shared her thoughts on what makes a "perfect marriage."

During an interview with the French magazine Views, she said, "Oh, I don't know if there's any such thing as like a perfect marriage, but I'd say like people who, I don't know, this is a corny answer, seem like best friends. I think it's always nice to see two people that like, I don't know, really like each other as well as love each other."




Zendaya's comments come not long after wedding rumors between her and Tom Holland sparked. On March 1, her longtime stylist, Law Roach, claimed at the 2026 Actor Awards that the couple secretly tied the knot.

He's a great dude. He's literally one of my best friends".

Earlier, Tom Holland gushed that costars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) were his "best friends. He told Access Hollywood, "We're just best friends, we really are best friends. From the moment we met each other, we all really hit it off. I remember on Spider-Man 1 just becoming, like, the best of friends".

Earlier that year in July, Zendaya and Holland were spotted kissing in their car. The couple's engagement was confirmed in January 2025. Neither Zendaya nor Holland have directly addressed their wedding rumors.
