Tom Holland’s brother Sam Holland is offering fans some rare insight into his sibling’s relationship with fiancée Zendaya.
“Zendaya has a plant-based diet and I sent those recipes Tom’s way as he was on dinner duty while she was making a movie in Boston,” Sam, 26, told The Times of London in a profile published on Saturday, August 16. “He went through them one by one and really enjoyed them.”
While Tom, 29, works as an actor, Sam has found his own calling in the culinary space.
“My brother Sam is a chef and each Christmas dinner is getting better and better and better. It’s something that I always look forward to,” Tom previously gushed during a December 2024 appearance on the “Dish From Waitrose” podcast. “Bless him, it’s a big undertaking and it’s almost, like, his whole Christmas is just cooking for everyone, but he’s getting great at it.”
Zendaya and Tom Holland were sure to discuss having children before their recent engagement. “Tom really wants to have a family, and [he] and Zendaya are on the same page about having kids and wanting to start a family together,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly. The insight comes after Us confirmed on Monday, January […]
Tom explained that his holiday plans are “usually very small” gatherings, consisting of just his parents, his grandparents and his three brothers. Tom, however, bucked tradition in 2024 and spent Christmas with Zendaya, 28, and her loved ones.
“I’m going to be in America this year. I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun,” Tom teased at the time. “Where we’ll be is a secret. … I’ll know where we’re going [but fans won’t].”

Tom and the Euphoria actress have been together since 2021 after meeting on the set of the latest Spider-Man franchise. Tom popped the question during the 2024 holiday season.
“Tom figured the holidays were the best time to propose in a very low-key way,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January, after Zendaya showed off her engagement ring at the Golden Globes. “She didn’t want anything over the top.”
The insider further explained why it was the right time to propose.
Tom Holland’s dad, Dominic Holland, is giving insight on his son’s recent engagement to Zendaya. “The big news this week is a good example of just such an opportunity for me — are they/aren’t they engaged? Zendaya wearing a ring and Tom nowhere to be seen adding to the intrigue,” Dominic, 57, wrote in a […]
“Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down,” the insider told Us. “They had many conversations over the years, but there was never any pressure. Zendaya is giddy and excited. She knew it might have been coming but never put pressure on it.”
Tom and Zendaya, however, haven’t started planning their big day.
“The process hasn’t even started yet,” Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, told E! News in July. “Zendaya is working on so many movies. She’s now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she’s away doing that. It’s so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.”
Tom and Zendaya, who are currently filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in London, will likely keep most of the details under wraps, with Roach, 47, teasing to the outlet that his client would be “a secret bride.”
