After subtly confirming their marriage, Zendaya and Tom Holland stepped onto the red carpet for the first time in nearly five years at two consecutive events, almost five years after the premiere of the film «Spider-Man: No Way Home». As part of the press tour for the film «Brand New Day», - the couple, who have been in a relationship for nearly ten years, gave joint and individual interviews around the world. At the premiere of the MCU film in Rome, Tom was heard calling Zendaya «Maria», - which was captured on video circulating on social media.
Both actors interacted with various interviewers on the red carpet, and at one point, Tom was heard saying, «Maria! What’s the name of that place?» Zendaya turned to her husband and replied, «Giolitti's!» which is an Italian pastry shop and ice cream parlor. She mentioned that they were planning to go there «after this» for some well-deserved treats.
While the exchange was sweet, fans unfamiliar with Zendaya’s full name wondered where «Maria» came from.
Below, you can learn about Zendaya’s nicknames and why Tom recently called her «Maria».
Zendaya is 29 years old. She will celebrate her 30th birthday on September 1, 2026.
Zendaya’s full name is Zendaya Marie Stoermer Coleman. Over the years, fans and colleagues have affectionately called her «Z».
Marie is the actress’s middle name. She was born with the name Zendaya, although Tom calling her by her middle name sparked a flurry of emotions on social media in June 2026.
It is unclear whether Zendaya’s close circle has adapted to calling her Maria, but fans noted online that Tom might have done this because of how loud red carpets can be. At such events, numerous photographers, journalists, interviewers, and fans might be shouting «Zendaya!» throughout the evening. Therefore, it may have been easier for Tom to call his wife a name that only she would recognize from a close person.
Zendaya is a girl from California! She was born and raised in Oakland, and she discovered her passion for acting at a young age when her mother worked at the famous California Shakespeare Theater
