WHO IS NADIA PARKES
Tom Holland's girlfriend, Nadia Parkes, is a London-based actress, known for her roles in the movies, "Spanish Princess" and "Doctor Who." The 24-year-old budding star graduated from the LAMDA drama school, London, in the spring of 2018.
Right after finishing from LAMDA, she snagged her role in "The Spanish Princess" as Rosa. Shortly after, she starred in an episode of "Doctor Who," a part which was admittedly her childhood dream.
In addition to being an actress, her Instagram bio describes her as a rep at Itg-ltd. Although a rising star, the actress has been linked in the circle of notable celebrities like Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, and Joe Jonas. She also attended Turner's bachelorette in 2019 alongside the "Game Of Thrones" star's closest friends.
NADIA PARKES' RELATIONSHIP WITH TOM HOLLAND
Nadia Parkes and Tom Holland reportedly met in 2019, at the wedding of Hollywood sweethearts, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas. The couple reportedly introduced Parkes to Holland, and their friendship began.
In early 2020, the pair decided to take their friendship a notch further and became a romantic couple. News of their affair first hit the media in May, a month after Holland's breakup from ex-girlfriend, Olivia Bolton. Daily Mail disclosed their rumored relationship.
The outlet also revealed that the two were quarantining together in Holland's home during the coronavirus pandemic. Neither of the lovebirds confirmed the relationship until late July, when Holland made it Instagram-official, sharing a photo of the "Doctor Who" star.
Parkes matched the gesture a month later, also sharing a photo of the "Spider-Man" actor on her Instagram page. They have remained the ultimate sweethearts ever since.
HOLLAND'S RUMORED PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Before hitting it off with Parkes, Holland was linked to notable personalities like Olivia Bolton and Zendaya. For a long time, many believed the 24-year-old actor and his "Spider-Man" co-star, Zendaya Coleman had a thing.
Tom Holland and Zendaya, however, denied rumors of an affair on multiple occasions. Those rumors eventually fazed off when pictures of the actor getting cozy with his long time family friend, Olivia Bolton, surfaced.
