Many celebrities prefer to keep their relationships private due to the public scrutiny of their lives.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have opted to keep their relationship and children private from the public.

Although Tom Holland and Zendaya occasionally post about each other on social media and attend events together, their time together in the public eye is infrequent.

Examine the private Hollywood relationships in greater detail.

Both Tom Holland and Zendaya are well-known and have maintained their support for each other, yet their personal relationship remains private.

Zendaya and Holland's public appearances together are mostly limited to "Spider-Man" events, as they both star in the movies.

"Privacy is no longer in our control due to our fame, and a moment that was once private between two people who love each other has now become public," Holland stated in an interview with GQ in November 2021.

"When you truly love and care about someone, there are moments or things you wish were your own," Zendaya said. "I believe loving someone is a sacred and special thing that should be experienced and enjoyed between the two people who love each other."

In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland discussed his private relationship with Zendaya.

"The actor stated that their relationship is something they value highly and want to keep private. They believe that they don't owe anyone an explanation and that it's their personal matter."

Despite keeping their relationship private, the couple has been seen attending various sporting events together and supporting each other's careers. In August 2024, Zendaya was present at the Duke of York Theatre in London to watch Holland portray Romeo in a "Romeo & Juliet" production.

Over 50 years, Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, have remained married.

Despite their love lasting over 50 years, they have rarely been seen together.

Despite not frequently appearing with Parton, Dean is consistently backing her from behind the scenes.

Dolly Parton revealed in 2019 that her husband has always been her biggest fan and supporter, but he prefers to stay out of the public eye. She shared this at the premiere of her Netflix series, "Dolly Parton's Heartstrings."

""Nevertheless, I'd prefer to bring someone else with me because he doesn't get jealous about it," she stated."

Despite rarely appearing in public with Parton, Dean has occasionally shared details about their marriage, such as during a 2024 interview with E! News.

"The "9 to 5" singer shared with the outlet that they simply enjoy each other's company. They like to cook and travel around in their RV. They don't necessarily view their activities as a date night, but rather as a way to spend time together. They enjoy going down to the river for a picnic or making a picnic to enjoy while they travel."

Emma Stone and Dave McCary initially crossed paths in 2016 while filming "Saturday Night Live," with McCary serving as a director and Stone hosting the show.

Despite starting their relationship in October 2017, they were rarely seen together after the news of their relationship.

Hollywood events have seen the presence of Stone and McCary together, but it's not always clear that they are both present.

In January 2019, both Stone and they attended the SAG Awards and sat together later in the night. However, Stone walked the carpet alone.

In late 2020, reports confirmed their marriage, which was announced by McCary on Instagram in December 2019. Additionally, they established their production company, Fruit Tree, as business partners in the same year.

They later welcomed their daughter in March 2021.

In March 2024, Stone won the best actress Oscar for her role in "Poor Things" and gave a shoutout to her husband and their daughter during her acceptance speech.

"Although I must conclude, I cannot resist expressing my gratitude to my loved ones, including my mother, brother Spencer, father, husband Dave, and daughter, who will soon turn three and has brought so much joy to our lives. You are all cherished beyond measure."

Their marriage and family life have been kept private from the public eye.

In 2011, during the filming of "The Place Beyond the Pines," there were rumors about a relationship between Gosling and Mendes.

Their relationship was seemingly confirmed after they were spotted sharing a kiss.

On September 12, 2014, Mendes and Gosling welcomed their first daughter, prompting Mendes to make a rare public statement about their relationship.

"Mendes shared with People that he worked hard for 20 years and was fortunate enough to have a successful career. However, it wasn't until he fell in love with Ryan that he decided he wanted children. It just so happened that by the time he was 40, he was expecting his first baby."

The pair welcomed a second daughter in 2016.

""After meeting Eva, I realized that I didn't want to have kids without her. During filming 'The Place Beyond the Pines,' I pretended to be a family with her, and I didn't want it to be pretend anymore. I realized that having her in my life would be a blessing," Gosling shared with GQ in 2023."

In November 2022, rumors of a marriage between Mendes and de Gosling began circulating after Mendes posted a wrist tattoo on Instagram that read "de Gosling."

Despite the occasional shoutouts at award shows and Instagram posts referencing their relationship, the two have managed to keep their love life under wraps.
