The couple's appearance at the Rome premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on June 23 gave fans a rare and intimate glimpse into their marriage . While walking the red carpet, the Uncharted star called out to his wife, not by her famous first name or the familiar "Z," but by her rarely-used middle name, "Maree" .

The moment occurred as Holland was speaking with reporters about a local gelateria. He shouted, "Maree, do you remember the name of that place?" to get the attention of the Euphoria star, who was being interviewed further down the carpet . The actress immediately responded, "Giolitti's!" confirming she was accustomed to the nickname, and told reporters, "That's where we're going after this" .

The Story Behind "Maree"

The exchange sparked widespread curiosity about the actress's full name, which is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman . The star, who is an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, opted to use only her first name professionally early in her career because she "just thought it was cool, like Cher or Prince," she told Allure in 2016 . While she doesn't use her middle name publicly, it holds deep personal meaning .

In a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Zendaya revealed that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson named her character in his film Malcolm & Marie after this personal moniker, saying, "She was written for me. She was also written to the woman that I am and to the woman that I'm becoming" . The use of her middle name suggests a private intimacy within their relationship, as fans speculated that using "Maree" in a crowded environment is a way for Holland to get her attention without the constant noise of a dozen other people calling out "Zendaya" .

A Relationship Rooted in Friendship

The couple's love story began when they met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016 . After years of keeping their relationship private, they officially went public in 2021 . Their engagement was confirmed in early 2025 .

Recently, Holland confirmed their marriage in an interview with Esquire UK. When asked if he had to reassure family members after AI-generated images of their wedding surfaced online, he replied, "No, because they were all there. That's all you'll get on that" . He described their relationship as a bedrock of support, stating, "She's my best friend, and I'm the happiest I have ever been when I'm with her" .

What's Next for the Couple

The red carpet moment is just one stop on the promotional tour for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which hits theaters on July 31 . The film reunites them on screen as Peter Parker and Michelle "M.J." Jones. Fans can also look forward to seeing them together in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film The Odyssey, set for release on July 17 .
