Traditionally, Tom’s holiday celebrations were intimate events with his immediate family, including his parents, grandparents, and brothers. However, in 2024, he changed his usual routine by spending Christmas with Zendaya and her family in the United States.
I’m going to be in America this year. I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun,

The Engagement Story: A Low-Key Proposal During the Holidays
Tom Holland and Zendaya, who have been together since meeting on the Spider-Man set in 2021, got engaged over the 2024 holiday season. Sources highlighted that Tom chose a subtle approach to proposing, reflective of Zendaya’s preference for simplicity.
Tom figured the holidays were the best time to propose in a very low-key way,
an insider told Us Weekly after Zendaya revealed her engagement ring at the Golden Globes.
She didn’t want anything over the top.
Timing and Readiness Behind Tom’s Marriage Proposal
The decision to propose came after thoughtful consideration and numerous conversations between the couple. Tom felt ready to commit, and Zendaya was enthusiastic without any pressure to rush the moment.
Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down,
the source explained.
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.
Wedding Plans Remain on Hold as Zendaya Focuses on Filming
Despite their engagement, Tom Holland and Zendaya have not begun planning their wedding. Zendaya’s busy schedule, including filming the latest project in the Dune franchise, has delayed any immediate preparations.
The process hasn’t even started yet,
said Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach to 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.
Currently filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in London, the couple is expected to keep their wedding details private. Roach hinted that Zendaya would prefer to be “a secret bride” when the time comes.
