Before he was Spider-Man and before he ever stepped onto a set with her, Tom Holland was already chasing a ball on some neighborhood pitch. 🥹⚽


That’s what photos from their childhood that began circulating this week show, alongside images of a young Zendaya with the same passion for soccer. She grew up kicking soccer balls; he, although he is better known today for ballet and dance, also had his own stint as a soccer player. Two children, in different countries, unaware that fate would cross their paths years later in front of the cameras.

Today, Tom and Zendaya are one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, and these images from their childhood have added an even sweeter twist to their story. As if love had been practicing for a long time already, long before they realized it. Coincidence, or some sign the universe left there, waiting for them to find it? 💫
