Zendaya and Tom Holland Couldn’t Resist Singing Along to Whitney Houston Classic at Tennis Match
Zendaya and Tom Holland tend to keep their love on the DL. But on Sunday (March 17) at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA the couple were about and singing it out. Spotted in a box at the tournament, the pair were relaxing when Whitney Houston’s 1987 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” came on over the PA and they couldn’t help themselves.
As seen in video posted over the weekend, when the song spun up on the venue’s speakers, neither of them could contain their inner Whitney, with both actors singing along enthusiastically to the song’s indelible chorus. Zendaya — who will soon be seen as one leg of a love triangle in the upcoming Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) tennis romance Challengers (April 26) alongside Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist — was dressed in her tennis whites for the occasion, while Holland wore a retro brown button-down over a white T-shirt.
It was a good day for women’s champ Iga Swiatek, 22, who not only took home her second trophy at the Open, but also got to celebrate by meeting Zendaya and getting a picture with the Dune 2 star. “What just happened?” Swiatek wrote on X alongside footage of her hang with Z.
Though she looked crisp in her tennis skirt and top, Zendaya will have to up her fashion game even more on May 6 when she serves as one of the celebrity co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala, alongside Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth.
