As Tom Holland and Zendaya, who met as lovers in "Spider-Man," have become a real-life couple, the actual dating histories of past Spider-Man couples are once again drawing attention.

Amy Pascal, producer of the film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," revealed in a video released by BBC via Instagram on July 30 that when Tom Holland and Zendaya were cast as Peter Parker and MJ respectively, she had urged them not to date each other in real life.

Pascal, who previously served as chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment's film division, said in the video, "MJ and Peter always fall in love," adding, "That is something you cannot control."

It is not only Tom Holland and Zendaya, who recently got married. The same was true for previous generations of Spider-Man actors and their co-stars. Tobey Maguire, who portrayed Spider-Man from 2002 to 2007, dated Kirsten Dunst, his on-screen love interest, for about a year at the beginning of the film series. Later, Andrew Garfield, who played Spider-Man from 2012 to 2014, was in a relationship with co-star Emma Stone from 2011 to 2015.

After the release of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in 2017, rumors began circulating among fans that Tom Holland and Zendaya were actually dating. The two denied dating rumors for years and kept their relationship completely hidden, but in 2021, they were spotted kissing in Tom Holland's car, revealing their romantic involvement.

Two years later, in January 2025, Zendaya wore a diamond ring on her left hand at the Golden Globe Awards, fueling engagement rumors, after which multiple media outlets confirmed the couple's engagement.

Earlier this year, Zendaya's longtime stylist sparked interest by revealing that Zendaya and Tom Holland were already married. He attended an event in March and said, "The wedding has already happened. You missed it."

Tom Holland also essentially acknowledged his marriage in a recent interview with Esquire UK. While he did not disclose many specific details about the wedding, he stated regarding his relationship with Zendaya, "I have never been happier than I am now."

Speaking about their respective careers, Tom Holland explained, "We are able to support each other in ways only we can. There is no one else who truly understands what it means to live this life but the two of us."

He added, "I think that's a great fortune. I can't even imagine how anyone could have such a relationship with someone else."

Meanwhile, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is currently playing in theaters nationwide as an action blockbuster where Peter Parker, forgotten by everyone after the events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," faces a mysterious enemy who remembers his true identity and gains uncontrollable powers through DNA mutation, plunging him into deeper chaos. To protect those he cares about, he confronts new threats.
