Facebook/Getty Olivia Bolton and Tom Holland.
Olivia Bolton and Tom Holland were spotted together at the British Summer Time Hyde Park Festival in London, according to Page Six.
The 23-year-old actor and his blonde friend walked around the venue, sometimes holding drinks and other times holding hands. Tom was even photographed holding Olivia’s handbag like a true gentleman.
The two dressed similarly, both in black jeans and t-shirts. Tom might have been trying to keep a low profile, hiding his face underneath a black ballcap. Both Tom and Olivia were wearing shiny silver necklaces, Olivia’s appearing to be a key and Tom’s looking like a lock.
According to The Sun, a source close to Holland confirmed they are dating.
“Tom and Olivia’s family have been friends for years but it took some time for Tom and Olivia to realise the connection between them. Tom’s been dogged with rumours about who he’s dating so finally being public with Olivia has been a massive relief for him,” the source told The Sun. “All their friends and family think they make a lovely couple. He is totally smitten.”
Bolton is a recent college graduate in her early 20s from England. She spent at least part of her childhood in the Nottingham area. She has two sisters and is the daughter of Stephen Bolton and Sophie Fish, who are friends with Holland’s parents, Nikki Holland and Dominic Holland. Her family has been friends with Holland’s family for several years. Few other details about Bolton have been revealed.
