Tom Holland Called Zendaya His 'Wife' For The First Time, And Fans Just Need A Moment
Supporters of https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/tom-holland/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Holland and https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/zendaya/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zendaya were left absolutely beaming this week, after hearing the https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/spider-man/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spider-Man star referred to his fellow actor as his “wife” for the first time.
Tom and Zendaya are renowned for https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-has-some-fun-with-tom-holland-wedding-speculation_uk_69b91d4de4b07119c0bd7003">mostly keeping details about their relationship out of the spotlight, and while https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-has-some-fun-with-tom-holland-wedding-speculation_uk_69b91d4de4b07119c0bd7003">rumours were rampant earlier this year that the Spider-Man and https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/the-odyssey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Odyssey co-stars had tied the knot, they have mostly stayed completely schtum over the rumours.
However, during the British star’s https://www.instagram.com/p/DbISygxo5M0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent appearance on the food podcast Dish, he made a subtle nod to the nuptials when he appeared to confirm that he and Zendaya were married.
During the interview, he was asked which other member of The Odyssey’s star-studded cast he’d most like to take on a holiday to Greece, to which he pointed: “I think probably my wife would be pretty good, you know?”

“It’d be strange if I said, ’sorry babe, I’m gonna take Matt [Damon], actually,” he quipped.
After a clip of the interview was posted on social media, the couple’s supporters had a pretty big reaction to hearing Tom use the W-word to talk about the https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/euphoria/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Euphoria actor:

Tom and Zendaya first met when they were cast in the https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/marvel/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marvel movie Spider-Man: Homecoming as Peter Parker and MJ, respectively.
It’s not known exactly how long they’ve been an item, but the two went public with their romance in 2021, and last year sparked speculation that they were engaged when she began https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-reveals-tom-holland-tattoo-tribute-amid-engagement_uk_677cda5ee4b0baeb8f9a7257">sporting a diamond ring on her left hand.
Around this time, it was also noted that https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-reveals-tom-holland-tattoo-tribute-amid-engagement_uk_677cda5ee4b0baeb8f9a7257">she’d had a tattoo done in tribute to her husband-to-be, with https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-tom-holland-matching-tattoos-artist-claims_uk_677f96d2e4b0f751b9945122">Tom getting a similar tattoo in the same spot.
While promoting their new project The Odyssey, Tom has https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tom-holland-zendaya-the-odyssey_uk_6a4e25fee4b094d71e713400">shared a sweet story about how director Christopher Nolan allowed him to be the one to break the news to his wife that the British filmmaker also wanted to cast her in the movie.
The pair are also set to share the screen for the second time this month when Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits cinemas next month, https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zendaya-roles-2026-after-the-drama_uk_69cd198be4b0a891ea42a779" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marking the fourth Zendaya release of five scheduled for 2026.
