Tom Holland’s use of Zendaya’s middle name gets fans talking

During the Spider-Man: Brand New Day red carpet, Tom Holland accidentally revealed the nickname he uses for Zendaya. According to PEOPLE, he called her out by her middle name, “Maree,” while asking where they were heading after the event.

While Zendaya spoke with reporters, the Spider-Man star called out loudly, “Maree!” to ask a question. She immediately answered his question. Holland then continued, “Giolitti’s! That’s where I’m going after this.” The couple’s sweet exchange since then has spread across social media.

Fans quickly realized Holland had used Zendaya’s middle name. Her full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman. The small moment instantly grabbed attention online. Many loved hearing Holland call Zendaya by her middle name for the first time.

One fan wrote on X, “i wasn’t ready for tom calling her ‘maree’ i’m actually unwell—.” Another fan shared a similar reaction, “this is the first time we heard tom call z by her second name ? that’s so sweet”

Many more fans flooded the comments afterward, “Tom & Z ? First time we’re hearing him call her by her second name… such a sweet moment!” Another fan noticed how naturally Zendaya responded, “The fact that she responded quick means that she loves the name and it is common between them ?”

Holland and Zendaya first met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016. They confirmed their relationship in 2021 and got engaged in late 2024, before secretly marrying earlier this year.

The couple will soon reunite on screen again. They both star in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, releasing on July 17. Fans will also see them together in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which premieres on July 31.
