Secrets on How Tom Holland Landed Zendaya as His ‘Wife’
Tom Holland and Zendaya secretly got married — concluding a romance — according to their longtime stylist friend RadarOnline.com can reveal has unfolded largely out of public view, coinciding with the Netherlands’ three-year sobriety journey and new venture into non-alcoholic beer.
The 29 year old Spider Man actor and the Emmy-winning star of Euphoriaalso 29, have not publicly confirmed their marital status, despite Zendaya being photographed two weeks ago with a gold band on her ring finger.
But on Sunday, March 1, at the Actor Awards, their absence became the talking point of the evening when stylist Law Roach claimed the couple had already tied the knot. The couple met in 2016 while filming Spider-Man: Homecominghave built a life together in Richmond, South West London, near where Holland grew up in Kingston upon Thames.
They have been engaged since early 2025, when Zendaya debuted a five-carat diamond ring at the Golden Globes.
Roach claimed they secretly got married when asked about plans for Zendaya’s future wedding look. He said to the camera: “The wedding has already taken place – you missed it. Sorry!”
Roach then added, “It’s very true.”
A source close to the couple said: “From the start they were clear that if they ever did this it would be on their terms. No red carpets, no glossy magazine spreads – just something very personal that reflected who they are when the cameras are away. For them, the wedding was about making a promise to the people who really matter, not creating a global media moment.
“They’ve experienced how quickly private milestones can be turned into public assets. That loss of control has weighed on them before, so this time they were determined to protect the occasion. It wasn’t about secrecy for the sake of drama, it was about protecting something sacred.”
The insider noted: “When they are in London, walking the dog, cooking at home or having dinner with parents and siblings, that’s when you see them in real life. “They are most content in an ordinary environment, surrounded by family and a close circle of friends. That grounded, home-centered life is what they value most, and their wedding reflected just that.”
Holland previously spoke candidly about the pressure of public scrutiny. He said: “One of the downsides of our fame is that we no longer really have control over privacy, and a moment that you think is between two people who love each other very much is now a moment that we share with the whole world. I have always been adamant about keeping my private life private, because I already share a large part of my life with the world. We felt kind of robbed of our privacy.”
The actor added about the idea of speaking publicly about their relationship: “It’s not a conversation I can have without her. You know, I respect her too much to say. This is not my story. It’s our story, and we’ll talk about what it is when we’re ready to talk about it together.”
Zendaya echoed that sentiment, saying, “The equal feeling (that we share) is exactly that when you really love and care about someone, some moments or things that you wished were yours. I think loving someone is something sacred and special.”
Outside of premieres, the couple has embraced a low-key routine: shopping locally, walking their miniature schnauzer Noon through Richmond Park and visiting Hampton Court Palace. In 2023, Zendaya moved into Dutch’s $4 million Richmond home.
Dutch personal life has also changed in other ways. After trying Dry January in 2022, he realized he had, in his words, “a bit of a problem” with alcohol.
He extended his abstinence beyond February and March and remained sober until his 26th birthday in June 2022 and beyond.
In October 2024, he launched Bero Brewing, a premium non-alcoholic beer brand offering Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA and Noon Wheat. Holland said the decision followed difficulties socializing without alcohol and a desire for better options.
He has described sobriety as “the best thing I ever did” and said his non-alcoholic beer business is flourishing.
A source familiar with the couple’s relationship told us why they apparently tied the knot: “Tom has always shown his love through actions rather than grand gestures. He’s the first to roll up his sleeves at home – whether that’s fixing a closet, putting up shelves or making something from scratch. He’s talked in the past about how Zendaya loved how he built wardrobes for her and arranged them so they looked like part of the wall.
“That’s really how he works. He loves to be useful. It’s his way of caring and part of his love language.
“It’s his caring nature, respect for her privacy when it comes to discussing their relationship, and his commitment to sobriety that all helped win her in.”
The insider noted, “Zendaya finds him incredibly grounding. In a world where everything can feel performative, it’s refreshing to have a partner who enjoys doing DIY in sweatpants. It created a sense of stability between them that goes way beyond red carpets.”
Another source pointed to Holland’s level-headedness as a defining change in their relationship. They added: “When Tom decided to quit drinking in 2022, it wasn’t a PR move. He realized he was socially dependent on alcohol and wanted to challenge himself. Sticking with it changed his confidence and clarity. Zendaya saw how committed he was to bettering himself, and that deepened the trust between them.
“Launching Bero was an extension of that journey. He wanted an option that allowed him – and others – to be present in social spaces without compromising their well-being. That discipline and self-awareness played a huge role in how their relationship matured. It showed that he was thinking long term, about health, about partnership, about the kind of husband he wanted to be.”
Another friend of the couple said, “Tom’s consistency won Zendaya over. Making a movie together could have been the trigger, but building closets, staying sober, and choosing a quieter life in Richmond — that’s what sealed it. Zendaya values authenticity, and that’s exactly what he gives her.”
