All the Ridiculously Attractive Guys Zendaya Has Been Linked to Over the Years
You may be wondering to yourself, “How does Zendaya even have the time to date?” given how busy she is. Between starring in hit television series like HBO’s Euphoria and major blockbuster films like Spider-Man: Far From Home, as well as being a powerful social influencer, the former Disney Channel star does it all. And though she has managed to keep her personal life pretty private, she has been linked to a few famous faces over the years. From her first rumored love to her latest reported fling, look to the gallery ahead to see all the men the talented actress has been linked to over the years.
Trevor Jackson
Zendaya costarred in Trevor’s music video for his 2013 track “Like We Grown” and played his love interest. The two insisted that their chemistry was merely platonic and at Trevor’s 18th birthday celebration, Zendaya addressed the rumors head-on, denying anything more than a close friendship. “There’s going to be those [rumors],” Zendaya told HipHollywood at the event. “But he’s my best friend in the whole world. I love him to death . . . That’s all it is.” Trevor also addressed the dating rumors and shared, “We be laughing every time we hear it. I can understand why people think that because we are really close. But, no she’s just my friend.”
Zendaya later opened up about having a secret boyfriend for four years in an interview with Vogue back in 2017. She never named Trevor, but many speculated that he was the mystery man she was referring to when she shared, “It was my first love.”
Odell Beckham Jr.
Back in 2016, Zendaya was rumored to be dating NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. after the two were spotted leaving a Grammys afterparty together. TMZ obtained footage of the two leaving and when reporters asked if they were dating, Zendaya‘s dad quickly jumped in and stated, “It’s an audition!” What that means exactly isn’t clear but perhaps the blooming relationship still needed approval from Zendaya’s father?
Tom Holland
Per Heightline, Zendaya began dating her Spiderman: Homecoming costar Tom Holland in the Summer of 2017. For a while, both Zendaya and Tom denied anything romantic was going on between them until the mother of Zendaya’s close friend, Skai Jackson, added fuel to the rumor mill. Replying to another user’s comment on a JustJared Instagram post that questioned the pair’s relationship, Kiya Cole shared, “Yes. It’s true. They been on the low for a while.” Tom and Zendaya have always played coy though, with Tom posting an Instagram soon after Kiya’s comment where he stated that Zendaya was just a “mate.” Zendaya also shut down the relationship rumors in an interview with Variety after she was questioned about the possibility of romance with Tom, stating, “He’s a great dude. He’s literally one of my best friends.”
Jacob Elordi
Zendaya was seen vacationing in Greece with her Euphoria costar Jacob Elordi in August 2019, and romance rumors began immediately. Both stars have maintained they’re just friends, but in February 2020, the two were spotted kissing in NYC. However, a few months later, Jacob was spotted hanging out with Kaia Gerber, prompting rumors that he and Zendaya had split.
