In the world of Hollywood, privacy is a rare commodity. Despite the constant attention, some celebrities have managed to keep their relationships out of the spotlight. This article takes a closer look at four such couples: Tom Holland and Zendaya, Dolly Parton and Carl Thomas Dean, Emma Stone and Dave McCary, and Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes.
Tom Holland and Zendaya are two of the hottest stars in Hollywood, but they have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. Despite their joint appearances in the "Spider-Man" films, the couple rarely attends events together outside of these appearances. In interviews, both Holland and Zendaya have emphasized the importance of privacy in their relationship. "Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of," Holland said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone. It's our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."

"He’s always supporting me as long as I don’t try to drag him in on it," Parton said in an interview with People. "He’s always been my biggest fan behind the scenes."
Emma Stone and Dave McCary met on the set of "Saturday Night Live" in 2016 and began dating shortly after. Despite their similar careers, they have managed to keep their relationship relatively private. Stone rarely discusses McCary in interviews, and the couple has only attended a few red carpet events together. However, Stone has given a nod to McCary in her acceptance speeches, including her Oscar acceptance speech in 2024.
