Speaking about their relationship, she said: “We were both very, very young, but my career was already underway and his changed overnight.”
‘I definitely saw his life change in front of him. But she handled it very well.”
Zendaya also revealed that she has also considered starting a family in the public eye, admitting that she doesn’t want her future children “to have to deal with her fame.”

She said: ‘It’s a question of sustainability, how she can continue to make this demanding business that she loves so much work for her.
“Because I don’t necessarily want my kids to have to deal with this [fame]”…and what is my future like? Will I be a public person forever?
Speaking of her fame, she added: “You just get used to the fact that, ‘Oh, I’m also one of those works of art that you’re going to take a picture of.’ I just have to be totally cool with it and just live.” my life.’
“I think growing up, I always felt like when someone asked me for a photo, I had to do it all the time. You have to say yes, because you just need to be grateful to be here.
“And while I still feel that way, I’ve also learned that I can say no, and I can politely say that I have a day off, or that I’m just trying to be myself today, and I really don’t.” I have to act all the time.
Zendaya also lent her support to Tom amid his performance in a Romeo and Juliet play that has been embroiled in controversy over racism.
Tom will play Romeo in the upcoming West End production, while Juliet will be played by Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.
Social media was subsequently inundated with a “barrage of deplorable racial abuse” leveled at the diverse cast, prompting the theater company to issue a statement condemning the abuse Francesca received.
Zendaya said Fashion “I couldn’t be more proud” of Tom, adding: “I’m going to try to see as many shows as possible.”
