Zendella(Zend/aya and B/ella) is the real-life best-friendship pairing of Zendaya and Bella Thorne. They are the main stars of the show, Shake It Up they always hang out when they're off set. They are so close that they call themselves “brothers”, the reason for that being when Bella stated in an interview that, "Best friends and sisters always have silly little fights, but brothers don’t make a big deal out of anything." Zendaya and Bella stated that when she and Zendaya first met on the set of Shake It Up, moments after she and Bella had came up to each other, they had instantly clicked, and have been inseparable from the start. Nevermind that they are "brothers" to each other, Zendaya and Bella are always close no matter the situation, especially in their Instagram pictures. Although the series ended in Fall 2013, they still remain very close.
"We love each other," and, "I love you", are frequent phrases between them.
Bella and Zendaya both tried out for the Sears Arrive Lounge air band at the same time during one of the same auditions. It is unknown if they knew each other or not .
Zendaya and Bella attended an event for the Millions of Milkshakes charity.
Zendaya and Bella do the most interviews together more than any other Shake It Up cast pairing. They sometimes hold hands and they like to finish each other’s sentences.
In almost all their interviews together, Bella and Zendaya hold hands.
When they auditioned for Shake It Up together, the casting directors noticed the chemistry between them right away.
Zendaya and Bella refer to each other as their 'Boo' and are usually very close to each other when they post pictures on Twitter or in general.
The girls go on many trips together, and frequently visit Disneyland together, as seen in the picture to the right.
In a J-14 magazine interview, Bella dishes that she and Zendaya like to watch YouTube videos during lunch time on set.
They were cast together on Shake It Up in largely due to the "amazing chemistry" they have with each other.
On their first livechat on February 14th, 2011, Zendaya accidentally poked Bella in the eye, repeatedly apologizing to Bella and then giving her a kiss on the cheek.
During their live chat on March 7th, 2012, Bella kissed Zendaya on the head. That would be the fourth documented kiss during one of their live chats, while the possible others are unknown.
Also during their live chat on March 7th, 2012, Bella (gently) bit Zendaya on the shoulder, and Zendaya seemed comfortable and unphased by the gesture.
The two traveled to Dubai to visit Millions of Milkshakes in the Dubai mall together.
[(Millions of Milkshakes Interview, Dubai) How hard is it juggling all these responsibilities as young girls growing up in the limelight?] Bella: It is a little hard I must say, but we have our friends there for us and I have Zendaya there for me. It would be a lot less exciting doing this alone, but I have my best friend there to travel the world with me. What more could you ask for? / Zendaya: I feel exactly the same way – she took the words right out of my mouth!
They attended the premiere for the Disney nature-film, Chimpanzees, togetheronApril 16, 2012, also recording the new commercial for the Disney campaign, Friends For Change.
