Did Tom Holland Date Nadia Parkes?

Ardent fans of Tom Holland might know that before Zendaya, there was allegedly another special lady in his life. The lady was British actress Nadia Parkes, and Holland appears to have dated her for quite some time. Although neither Nadia nor Tom officially confirmed or denied a romance, many clues suggest they were a couple.

But just who is Nadia Parkes? The young star began her professional acting career on the Starz show The Spanish Princess as one of Queen Catherine of Aragon's ladies-in-waiting. Nadia then had a guest role in the popular British series Doctor Who. She has also starred in other works, such as the Netflix show The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself and the BBC comedy series Starstruck.

Sources close to the rumored couple stated that Holland and Parkes were introduced at an engagement party for one of Parkes' best friends, actress Sophie Turner and musician Joe Jonas. While details of their alleged romance are scarce, it was reported in The Daily Mail that Tom, his brother Harry, their friend Harrison, and Nadia all moved into a home together in London during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Not long after that, the usually secretive Tom Holland uploaded a photo of a young blonde woman on his Instagram account, who appeared to be Nadia Parkes, wearing a face mask. The actor captioned the photograph as "Stunning," immediately, fans and the media began to speculate whether the two were just friends or boyfriend and girlfriend. Later, Nadia would return the favor by posting a photo of Holland on the same platform.

Did Tom Holland Leave Nadia Parkes To Date Zendaya?

It's uncertain why Tom Holland and Nadia Parkes' romance or friendship ended, but the two suddenly stopped sharing updates about each other on social media.

It was always unlikely that Tom would go public with why he was no longer dating Parkes, judging by an interview he once gave to Esquire. In the interview, Holland explained that he usually didn't like to go public with his relationships because if they were to break up, he didn't want people to shame her.

While Tom may have enjoyed a more low-key romance with Parkes, the same could not be said of his relationship with Zendaya. Given the latter's level of star power combined with Holland's, their romance was bound to come to light.

Even before Holland met Nadia Parkes, he was friends and worked alongside Zendaya in the Spider-Man films. They were even rumored to be in a romance many years before they confirmed they were an item. But as Tom was supposedly dating Parkes, Zendaya was caught up in dating rumors with her Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi, a romance neither denied nor confirmed.

During his supposed relationship with Nadia, the Spider-Man actor was accused of showing his affection for Zendaya after he tagged her in an Instagram photo in a suggestible place on a picture of himself. Fans then started to speculate that the two had a romantic relationship, and the media called him out on it and the situation on Instagram.

The usually even-tempered Holland then lashed out at the rumors in an interview with British GQ; he stated that the allegations of him referencing Zendaya in a suggestive way on social media were laughable but also vexing. He then implied that he was seeing someone other than Zendaya when he added that gossip like that could put someone in a difficult position if they were dating someone else. The scrutiny over what he posts online was a big reason why Holland would later quit social media.

However, several months later, fans assumed that his supposed romance was over with Nadia after the paparazzi shared photos of him kissing Zendaya.

While Holland is usually very private, so is Nadia Parkes. Since their supposed break-up, she has avoided answering any questions about him.

Was Tom Holland Jealous Of Zendaya's Spicy Role With Two Other Guys In Challengers?

After the provocative trailer for Zendaya's Challengers was released, many fans claimed her longtime boyfriend Tom Holland was jealous.

For example, in Parkes's interview with Glamour magazine UK, the actress was asked about her supporting role as Sophie in the TV series Starstruck, her relationship with Holland, and if she thought dating within the entertainment industry was advisable. Nadia avoided the subject of Tom altogether and instead answered that she felt it was up to individuals how good a relationship they would have if they were both entertainers.

No matter what Nadia Parkes' private views are about Tom Holland and Zendaya, it's unlikely she'll ever vocalize them in part due to the backlash she might get from the couple's young fans who adore them.
