JAKARTA - Tom Holland again called Zendaya his "wife" in a recent interview. The words came about a month after his answer to Esquire was considered to hint that the two had married in secret.
USA Today, quoted Wednesday, July 22, said Holland made the statement while being a guest on the British podcast Dish, hosted by DJ Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Hartnett.
In a question and answer session, the Spider-Man actor was asked to choose someone he wanted to go on vacation to Greece.
"I think my wife is probably a pretty good choice," Holland said.
He then joked that it would feel strange to choose someone else.
"It would be a little weird if I said, 'Sorry, honey, actually I'm going to ask Matt,'" he said, referring to Matt Damon who played with Holland and Zendaya in The Odyssey.
Grimshaw responded to the joke by imagining a 10-day vacation in Mykonos with Damon.
The statement comes after Holland's answer to Esquire in June was considered to hint at a closed marriage with Zendaya.
In a profile published on June 16, Holland discussed an AI-generated image that seemed to show their wedding.
When asked if he should send a message to family members after the picture went viral, Holland paused before answering, "No, because they're all there."
The answer is considered to indicate that Holland and Zendaya held a closed wedding attended by family.
Holland did not provide further details.
"That's all you're going to get," he said.
Holland also talked about Zendaya several times while promoting Christopher Nolan's film, The Odyssey.
In an interview with PEOPLE, he said he had discussed the offer to play in the film with Zendaya before accepting the role of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus and Penelope.
"I sat down with Z and said, 'I got this movie offer,'" Holland said.
After Zendaya asked who the director was, Holland replied, "It's a big project," referring to Nolan.
According to Holland, Zendaya encouraged him to accept the offer. He joked that Zendaya would leave him if he refused Nolan's project.
"I'm gonna leave you if you don't pick up The Odyssey," Holland said, mimicking Zendaya's words.
A similar joke came up in an interview with Wired in July. When asked if Athena, the character played by Zendaya, had a romantic relationship with Odysseus played by Damon, Holland replied, "No, because she's married to me."
Damon laughed and called the answer good.
Holland and Zendaya met while filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. They played Peter Parker and MJ. Their relationship was made public in 2021.
After appearing together in The Odyssey which was released on July 17, the two are scheduled to return to the role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day which will be shown in theaters on July 30.
