Why Tom Holland’s Dad Doesn’t Fear Spotlight Amid Zendaya Relationship

Tom Holland and Zendaya can handle the limelight. 

At this point, the Spider-Man actor’s dad Dominic Holland is sure of it. After the couple’s engagement was confirmed following Zendaya debuting her ring at the 2025 Golden Globes, the comedian shared why he feels they can handle the public pressure. 

“I do fret that their combined stardom will amplify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them,” Dominic penned in a Jan. 10 Patreon post, “and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb.”

Indeed, the 57-year-old—who shares Tom, 28 as well as brothers Harry and Sam, both 25, and Paddy, 20, with wife Nikki Holland—feels he has given his eldest an easy-enough blueprint to follow with his own 30-year marriage. 

“Even though show-business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention, with us an example, with Nikki helming this family and my ‘wisdom’ on tap and a study in getting things mostly wrong and yet somehow right at the same time,” Dominic posited, “I am completely confident they will make a successful union.”
