Well, it’s finally happened. Tom Holland and Zendaya have become the first Spider-Man and MJ couple to actually get engaged. All three MJ and Spider-Man cinematic pairings of the 21st century have dated, with Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire dating for a mere year after initially meeting on set, a couple of years before the release of Spider-Man 2. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone lasted longer, dating from 2011 to 2015, which means they didn’t have to kiss their ex upside down while shooting a subsequent movie. Tom Holland and Zendaya confirmed their relationship in 2021, but as video evidence shows, she was down bad for him for years before then. 

It’s no surprise that the Mary Jane and Spider-Man connection has created so many love affairs. I’m just glad at least one of them could stick like spider webs. If you are more interested in Marvel memes than the personal lives of celebrities, you may proceed.
