But in her cover story for Interview magazine, Zendaya steered clear from romance talk and instead talked about her future plans career-wise.

Zendaya talked about her future goals, revealing that she doesn’t ‘necessarily have a plan.’
She explained: ‘I never really thought, “I have to do this by this time and I want to do this by that time.” I just want to do the things that make me happy and bring me joy and fulfill me as an artist, as a person.’

‘So, I keep that loose, because if one day it turns into a completely different career path, then I would allow myself to do that. The idea of trying to direct in the future excites me,’ Zendaya said.
Adding: ‘That’s why I’m on set so much. When I’m not in it, I’m right there trying to learn. I go around and I ask our crew members, “What are you doing today? Can you explain it to me?”‘
‘Because we’ve got some real vets in the game. So, the hope is that I’ll be able to, one day, make the things that I want to see.’

As an example, Zendaya said she would like to make a film or show that is just a ‘simple love story about two black girls.’
Explaining that she just wants it to be a ‘story about two people falling in love and that’s it’ with it not rooted in anything.
‘Something simple and beautiful, that leaves you happy and wanting to fall in love yourself.’

Zendaya said she has several heroes, including Michelle Obama as well as her 93-year-old grandmother.
Zendaya, who was interviewed by pal and Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo, said: ‘I have so much to be grateful for. Even talking to my grandmother, her world and her existence was so different from mine.’
‘I can be the manifestation of all of her prayers for me, and that’s really cool. I hope to continue to make our ancestors proud. Our existence, you being who you are, you doing what you do, is continuing to open doors and to be their wildest dreams,’ she said to the magazine.
Adding: ‘We just have to exist in our most beautiful form to continue to do that.’

The former Disney star said she learned in her career that as an actor, ‘you can’t be afraid to mess up, you can’t be afraid of anything.’
And the actress said she is working on applying that wisdom to other parts of her life ‘because I’m always afraid to do things in fear of not being great. But the only way to get great is to be fearless and try.’
Zendaya’s next project hitting theaters is Spiderman: No Way Home, which arrives December 17.

Her boyfriend and co-star Tom Holland spoke out about their relationship on Monday during an interview with AP in London.
Tom was speaking to the press when he spotted his girlfriend, stating, ‘There she is, looking beautiful, might I add — as ever.’
When asked about the relationship, the British actor said it started with ‘companionship,’ and led to more.
‘Two friends coming together, experiencing this world, going through the same problems at the same time, having a shoulder to cry on, has been a huge thing for the pair of us, and with Jacob (Batalon) as well. We really are a family,’ he said.
Becoming famous at the age of 19 … this is a different kind of fame. There’s not a corner of the world that Spider-Man hasn’t touched. It’s a lot to take in, so it’s really nice for me to have a family to share that with,’ he added.

Zendaya also spoke about their relationship, adding that they just support each other and are there for one another.
‘I think just sometimes you have to be a person to vent to, someone to just be there and listen,’ Zendaya added.
The actress added that she has been ‘lucky’ that her life hasn’t changed overnight, since she’s been acting since she was young, calling it a ‘slow progression.’
She added that she got to ‘figure it out as I go and get my footing a bit,’ though for Tom, it was, ‘so much all at once because you’re Spider-Man.’
‘You’re Spider-Man and your life changes. I have an extreme amount of empathy for that, so anything I learned, or have learned or continue to learn, I share with him, and anything he learns he shares with me,’ she added.
Holland and Zendaya, both 25, first played Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and reprised those roles in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
While there had been rumors about their romance for months – including paparazzi photos of them kissing – they finally confirmed their romance last month.
