A source told the site, “It was early days for Tom and Nadia when the lockdown was announced in London. They made the decision to isolate together and things have been going great between them.”
“Tom has told friends and family they're in an official relationship and living together so soon into their romance has only made them stronger,” the insider added.
Tom and Nadia were reportedly introduced by their mutual friends Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
Nadia has appeared on “Doctor Who” and the miniseries “The Spanish Princess.”
Last month, news broke that Holland had called it quits with Olivia Bolton after nine months of dating. A source told The Sun UK, “Tom and Olivia remain very close but decided recently it was best for them to be just friends rather than a couple.”

Over the past few years, Tom and his “Spider-Man: Far from Home” co-star Zendaya have been the subject of romance rumors, but they have always insisted they are just friends. Zendaya poked fun at the rumors, tweeting in 2017, “Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years! hbu @TomHolland1996???” Tom responded, "@Zendaya Does the press tour count.”
Tom also told People magazine, “We are like the best of friends. She's so great and amazing. I'm a little worried [about dealing with fame… but] Zendaya is super famous and she's been through this and I just call her up and say, 'How do I manage being famous?' I'm very glad I have a friend like her.”
Holland opened up about filming kissing scenes with Zendaya, telling “Extra's” Renee Bargh at the film's Hollywood premiere last year, “It's awkward because we're such good mates.” Watch!
