Zendaya and Tom Holland can't seem to escape the romance rumors, but these "Spider-Man: Homecoming" stars are not dating.
People magazine published a report Thursday evening citing a source who told them that the potential couple started dating while filming the newest Marvel movie.
“They started seeing each other while they were filming 'Spider-Man,'" said the magazine's source."They’ve been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they’ve gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."
Zendaya, 20, who plays Michelle in the movie, responded to the rumors on Twitter and shut them down.
"Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on vacation in years! hbu [how about you] @TomHolland1996?" she tweeted.

That settles the question of romantic involvement, but it won't stop people from wanting it to be true.
(Note: Minor spoilers for "Spider-Man: Homecoming" are below.)
It's unclear whether the two characters will become romantically involved in future movies. Zendaya's character, Michelle, revealed at the end of the film that her nickname is MJ. The moniker is used as the nickname for Mary Jane, Spider-Man's love interest in the comics, so it could happen. Though, it is safe to say after their responses that these two are just friends in real life.
