Tom Holland and Zendaya can manage the spotlight.
At this moment, the father of the Spider-Man actor, Dominic Holland, is certain of it. After the couple’s engagement was made official when Zendaya showcased her ring at the 2025 Golden Globes, the comedian explained why he believes they can manage the public scrutiny.
“I worry that their joint fame will increase their visibility and the corresponding pressures placed on them,” Dominic wrote in a January 10 Patreon update, “but they consistently amaze me by managing it all with grace.”
Certainly! The 57-year-old—who has Tom, 28, along with brothers Harry and Sam, both 25, and Paddy, 20, with spouse Nikki Holland—believes he has provided his oldest son a straightforward model to emulate from his own 30-year marriage.

“Despite show-business being a chaotic environment for relationships, especially for celebrity couples who often fail publicly and are countless in number, we serve as a case in point, with Nikki leading our family and my ‘insights’ frequently misfiring yet still managing to hit the mark occasionally,” Dominic asserted, “I have full faith they will form a successful partnership.”
While expressing his excitement for their impending wedding, Dominic also revealed how careful Tom was in organizing his and Zendaya’s engagement, stressing that his son was “extremely well prepared.”
“Dominic explained that he had bought a ring.” “He had talked to her father and obtained approval to ask for his daughter’s hand.” Tom had everything organized… When, where, how, what to say, what to put on…
Although Tom and Zendaya have not commented on their engagement directly, Zendaya has showcased her 5-carat ring prominently on multiple occasions this past week. When the 28-year-old actress was directly questioned about the engagement at the Golden Globes ceremony, she simply shrugged and smiled playfully.

Certainly, for supporters of the duo—who initially revealed their relationship in 2021—Tom and Zendaya’s ongoing silence regarding the engagement will not be unexpected.
“Our relationship is something we fiercely protect and wish to maintain as sacred as we can,” Tom told the Hollywood Reporter last June. “We believe that we are not obligated to anyone.” “It’s what we do.”
