Tom Holland and Zendaya Ball Out

You may have heard that Spider-man can do whatever a spider can, so by the transitive property, that means that a spider can do whatever Tom Holland can do, right? It’s just science. 

So a spider can be very bad at keeping Marvel plot points a secret. A spider can adopt and gently cradle a chicken named Predator. A spider can change the world with a dance to “Umbrella.” (Still wondering why a spider didn’t make a cameo in Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance, but apparently a spider cannot be all things to all people.) 

And now we know that a spider can take his girlfriend Zendaya to an NBA game. This feels right. 

Holland and Zendaya hit game two of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco Thursday night, where they watched the Warriors take a w in a 127-100 game. Zendaya grew up in Oakland, so the Warriors are something of a hometown team for her. Another hint: she wore a Warriors ball cap in some of the photos from last night. If the clothes make the man, the merch makes the fan. 

The Spider-Man co-stars have reportedly been an item since 2016, but made it Instagram-official in 2021 with a birthday post on Holland’s account where he called Zendaya “my MJ.” Say it with me: Awwwww. 

While Holland has been busy slinging one web or another, Zendaya also stars in the highly anticipated Dune 2, and has scooped up accolades (youngest double acting Emmy winner in history, who?) and praise for her body glitter-drenched work in TV’s Euphoria. 

Last week, the duo was spotted in Vegas to see Usher perform during his residency there. (These are a spider’s confessions.) At the basketball game, they snacked on popcorn. What will a spider do next?
