Who needs “rizz” when you’ve got the support of both families?
When it comes to Zendaya and Tom Holland, their families are not just on board—they’re steering the ship. The couple’s chemistry off-screen reflects their Spider-Man: Homecoming roles and their families couldn't be happier.
The Beginning of a Beautiful Relationship
From friends to lovers, Zendaya and Tom’s journey started with a solid foundation of friendship. Their on-screen romance in Spider-Man: Homecoming set fans' hearts ablaze, but it was their real-life connection that truly caught fire.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly, “These two are the real deal. They started as besties, and that’s [why] their relationship is rock solid.”
Their families have watched this relationship grow and couldn’t be more supportive. Zendaya’s mom, Claire Stoermer, was initially skeptical about her daughter dating someone from Hollywood. However, Tom’s genuine nature and the couple’s solid friendship reassured her.
“Tom is a sweetheart, and he treats Zendaya with so much respect. They’re so good together,” Claire shared in an interview.
Tom’s family is equally thrilled about the relationship. His mother, Nicola Frost, praised Zendaya for being grounded despite her fame.
“She’s such a lovely girl, very down-to-earth. She makes Tom very happy,” Nicola mentioned.
Public Displays of Affection and Social Media Love
While the couple tends to keep their romance private, they occasionally share glimpses of their love on social media. Zendaya’s heartfelt birthday wish for Tom on Instagram in 2021 melted hearts.
She called him “the one who makes me the happiest.” Tom reciprocated by posting adorable moments from their outings and promoting her film projects.
During an interview with BuzzFeed for Dune: Part Two, Zendaya couldn’t help but gush about Tom. She playfully hinted at their relationship.
She stated, “I think someone who has beautiful charisma [Rizz], not on the Dune cast, but personally works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland…” Tom, on the other hand, joked about his lack of “rizz,” stating, “I have no rizz whatsoever; I have limited rizz... I need you to fall in love with me, really, for it to work. So, long game.”
The couple’s public interactions are always a treat for fans. Their genuine affection for each other is evident, whether they’re attending the Met Gala or supporting each other’s projects. Clearly, they’re head over heels, and their families couldn’t agree more.
Supportive Families and A Solid Foundation
Tom and Zendaya’s families have accepted their relationship and actively support it.
A source close to the couple shared, “Their families are all in… [they] think they’re perfect together.”
Zendaya’s family values Tom’s respect and kindness towards her. They appreciate how he supports her career and keeps her grounded. On the other hand, Tom’s family admires Zendaya’s humility and how she keeps Tom happy. This mutual respect and admiration have made the relationship even stronger.
Both families deeply value the couple's down-to-earth approach to fame and their ability to stay grounded. An insider close to the families noted.
“They both come from loving families who have taught them to value what’s important. This has really helped their relationship thrive.”
It’s no wonder that Tom and Zendaya’s relationship has flourished. With such strong support from their families, it’s clear they have a solid foundation to build upon. Fans can’t wait to see where their love story goes next. However, one thing’s for sure: they have the love and support of those who matter most.
