They have rapidly become Hollywood’s favourite power couple.
And Tom Holland and Zendaya showed why on Thursday night, as the actress supported her boyfriend at the press night of Romeo & Juliet at The Duke Of York’s Theatre in London.
The Spider-Man star, 27, stars as Romeo in the Jamie Lloyd production alongside Francesca Amewudah-Rivers as Juliet.
And following the performance, he walked hand in hand with Zendaya, 27, out of the theatre to greet the crowd of waiting fans.
The actor looked exhausted but pleased as he waved, wearing a black Prada jumper and a matching pair of tailored trousers.

While Zendaya showcased her famously impeccable style once again, in a black gothic-inspired dress, adorned with sequins.
The dazzling number boasted a corseted bodice, to cinch her in at her tiny waist and a wide flared skirt.
The Challengers star boosted her height in a pair of black leather boots and added a long beaded pendant necklace.
Zendaya swept her hair into an elegant bun and beamed proudly as she led her boyfriend to their waiting car.
The initial reactions to the modern adaptation of the Shakespeare tragedy have been very positive, with the lucky attendees of the previews taking to social media to praise lead stars Tom and Francesca, as ‘amazing’ and ‘superb casting’.
And spilling the beans about what people can expect, many teased that the production was ‘violent’ and ‘creative’ with ‘unexpected humour’ and ‘lots of kissing’.
One woman who watched the production told MailOnline: ‘I’ve never seen anything like it. It was an amazing production and a brilliant performance by Tom.
‘It was absolutely brilliant – there were so many jaw-dropping moments. The whole thing was a real triumph.’

However, attendees were divided over award-winning director Jamie’s signature stripped-back staging, with several branding it ‘underwhelming’.
Photos shared online of the set show a modern and industrial style, with a large iron fence and block letters spelling out Verona, where the play is set, while the cast sported casual outfits, like black hoodies and T-shirts.
While The Daily Mail’s Patrick Marmion gave the play four stars and singled out Tom for praise, gushing: ‘His commanding cheekbones and curving jaw suck the breath from the audience and keep us wrapped in his dreamy gaze.’
The play marks Tom’s first return to the stage after his West End debut in 2008, when he played the lead role in Billy Elliot the Musical at 12 years old.
Speaking about his casting, director Jamie said: ‘Tom Holland is one of the greatest, most exciting young actors in the world. It is an honour to welcome him back to the West End.’
Following his debut performance earlier this month, Tom took to his Instagram to pay tribute to his co-stars and call the show ‘a highlight of my career’.
The play also stars Freema Agyeman (Nurse), Michael Balogun (Friar), Tomiwa Edun (Capulet), Mia Jerome (Montague), Daniel Quinn-Toye (Paris), Ray Sesay (Tybalt), Nima Taleghani (Benvolio), Joshua-Alexander Williams (Mercutio), and Callum Heinrich and Kody Mortimer (Camera Operators).
The production is set to run for 12 weeks until August 3, before it will reportedly transfer to Broadway later this year.
