Tom Holland Reveals He and Zendaya Will Spend Christmas Together in the U.S.—but Which of Her Homes Will Host the Celebration?
British actor Tom Holland has revealed that he and girlfriend Zendaya are set to spend the Christmas holiday in the U.S. with her family, sharing some rare insights into their festive plans in a new podcast interview.
Speaking to “Dish” hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, Holland, 28, opened up about the couple’s holiday.
“I’m going to be in America this year,” he said. “I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which is fun.”
However, the “Marvel” star kept coy about where exactly he and Zendaya will celebrate with her relatives: “Where we’ll be is a secret.”
If Zendaya is going to play hostess for her boyfriend and her family, she has her pick of properties to choose from, having built up an impressive real estate collection from early on in her career.
The 28-year-old grew up in Oakland, CA, but has since migrated southward, to Los Angeles, and owns several absolutely incredible homes to offer up as a setting for the holiday festivities.
Mediterranean-style mansion
The musician and fashion designer picked up her first property at the age of 20 in 2016 for $1.4 million, according to Architectural Digest.
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom Oakland mansion is a “remodeled Mediterranean-style” residence complete with a curved entryway that the star showed off to her 180 million Instagram followers.
On Christmas Eve 2016, she posted, “My first Christmas in my own home. I always wanted the big tree (it’s huge, honestly what the hell was I thinking), and spiral staircase just never thought I’d have one of my own at 20…
“I’m so grateful and appreciative for everything I have cause none of it was given, none of it started like this … I’m just an Oakland girl, a daughter of two incredible teachers, with an amazing family who worked her ass off and got a lil lucky. Everyone have a beautiful holiday, from my home to yours.”
According to AD, the 4,155-square-foot home has a chef’s kitchen, a primary suite, and a pool and spa in the backyard.
Encino estate
In 2019, Zendaya expanded her real estate empire to a spread in Encino, CA, paying a reported $3.97 million for the posh property. The home sits on over 3 acres and includes hiking trails, a guesthouse, and a pool.
The home itself features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and multiple fireplaces.
The primary suite has access to a private balcony, a built-in tub, and a separate shower.
The place has served at some point as an investment property. According to reports, she offered the property for rent for $12,900 a month in 2019.
On the waterfront
In 2021, the star staked out an East Coast perch, picking up a Brooklyn waterfront condo in the stunning Quay building, the New York Post reported. She is said to have paid $4.9 million for the three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom aerie in the new building.
An attractive amenity is the private entrance with an elevator that opens directly into her apartment. The swanky space features Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor views from every room.
Other highlights include an open, corner living and dining room, walls of windows, a chef’s kitchen, and a main bedroom with a formal dressing area and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub.
Residents of the 30-floor tower enjoy perks like a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, a pet wash, and a fitness center.
A romantic milestone
The couple’s decision to spend the festive season together with her family marks the latest in a long line of indicators that their relationship is continuing to go from strength to strength.
Holland and Zendaya first met when they were cast alongside each other in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” and rumors soon began to surface that their on-screen romance may have turned into a real-life love. They didn’t go public with their relationship until 2021.
The “Spider-Man” movie marked Zendaya’s film debut. However, she soon went on to cement herself as one of Hollywood’s most talented stars with her role in the HBO teen drama series “Euphoria,” for which she won two Emmy awards.
She and Holland have been caught in each other’s web ever since their on-screen appearance together. In addition to being in a real-life romance, the two also co-starred in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and will reunite on screen for an upcoming “Spider-Man” movie.
Holland and Zendaya have most recently been holed up in Boston, he revealed in his “Dish” interview. They were staying there while Zendaya filmed the movie “The Drama” with Robert Pattinson, he said.
And it appears he’s happily fallen into the role of stay-at-home boyfriend, admitting that he’s been attempting to cook nonmeat dishes for his beloved, who follows a plant-based diet.
“I’m starting to venture into a lot of vegetarian cooking,” he said. “My girlfriend’s vegetarian. So, I’ve been in Boston these past few weeks and she’s been working, so I’ve been doing a lot of the dinners, and they haven’t been great.”
