While Zendaya and Tom Holland are basking in newly engaged bliss, a source close to the couple is sharing insight into their sweet relationship. A source told People magazine that Zendaya is a “perfect” match for Holland.
“Zendaya is obviously very beautiful, but it’s her true personality that makes her perfect for Tom,” they said. “She’s so sweet, so caring, and makes you feel special.”

And while Zendaya and her red carpet fashion often take center stage during award shows and appearances, she’s happy to let her boyfriend enjoy the moment, too. The source added that she is “very outgoing and has a big personality” but “doesn’t mind him being the center of attention.” “She sits back and lets him shine.”
“Everyone is excited about this engagement,” the source added.
Holland has the same attitude when it comes to making his new fiancé shine. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, he explained that he always skips red carpets with Zendaya, saying, “It’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s ours.” That’s why,” he explained.
