After subtly confirming their marriage, Zendaya and Tom Holland stepped out for the first back-to-back red carpet events nearly five years after Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered. Amid the press tour for Brand New Day, the couple, who have been together for nearly a decade, have participated in joint and individual interviews around the world. And at the Rome premiere of the MCU film, Tom was heard calling Zendaya “Maree,” as seen in videos circulating on social media.
Both actors were speaking to separate interviewers on the carpet, and at one point, Tom was heard saying, “Maree! What’s the name of that place?” Zendaya turned to face her husband before responding, “Giolitti’s!” which is an Italian pastry and gelato shop. Z said they were going to the location “after this” for some well-deserved sweets.
Though the exchange was adorable, fans unfamiliar with Zendaya’s full name wondered where “Maree” came from.
Below, learn about Zendaya’s nickname(s) and why Tom called her “Maree” recently.
How Old Is Zendaya Now?
Zendaya is 29 years old. She will turn 30 on September 1, 2026.
What Is Zendaya’s Real Name?
Zendaya’s full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman. Fans and colleagues have affectionately called her “Z” as a nickname over the years.
Is Zendaya’s Real Name Maree?
Maree is the actress’ middle name. She was born with her first name, Zendaya, though Tom calling her by her middle name sent social media on fire in June 2026.
It’s unclear if Zendaya’s inner circle has adapted to calling her Maree, but fans pointed out online that Tom may have done so because of how loud red carpets can become. And at that one, multiple photographers, journalists, interviewers and fans may have been repeating, “Zendaya!” throughout the evening. So, it might have just been easier for Tom to call his wife by a name only she’d recognize from a loved one.
Where Is Zendaya From?
Zendaya is a California girl! Born and raised in Oakland, the Disney Channel alum found her passion for acting at a young age when her mom worked for the renowned California Shakespeare Theater.
