Bolton, for her part, has made her Instagram private, and Holland follows her on it. It's a signal that while she and Holland were willing to make their romance public, she isn't interested in the kind of social media attention — and negative comments — being the non-famous girlfriend of a major celebrity can attract, especially when that major celebrity was someone everyone desperately wanted to believe was low-key dating his Spider-Man love interest Zendaya," reported the outlet.
