Zendaya and Tom Holland, both 29, primarily live in west London in a property worth £2.5 million (around $3.4 million) alongside their dogs. Spiderman actor Tom purchased the home in 2018 and began extensive renovations in 2020. 

While the couple, who got engaged in late 2024, are notoriously private about their home lives, we imagine they have created the perfect space for entertaining close family and friends. But there is one rule everyone must accept when visiting Zendaya at home.

The Greatest Showman actress is a devoted Harry Potter fan, with the star admitting in the past that the movies act like "meditation" for her. "Everyone has their own thing, like a form of meditation or whatever. Me, I find it very hard to just sit there and clear my brain. People say I’m crazy, but I watch Harry Potter, like, once a day. It’s just calming to me, so that’s my thing. 

"People are like, 'Oh my god, Harry Potter again?' I say, 'Don’t come over to my house if you don’t want to watch it, because it's going to be on,'" she told InStyle in 2019.

She reiterated years later that it was particularly soothing following her busy schedule filming Euphoria, but it's unknown if she's been as strict with her daily routine since then.

The rule is likely undisputed by Tom, since he has similarly confessed his love of the wizarding franchise – so much so that they have even sorted their dogs into the Hogwarts houses.

While speaking to IMDb in December 2021, Tom and Zendaya both confessed they see themselves as Gryffindors, a house known for courage and loyalty. However, Tom categorised their late Staffordshire Bull Terrier Tessa as a Ravenclaw "because she is quite quiet", and joked that their Miniature Schnauzer called Noon would be a Slytherin, specifically the villain, Voldemort.

Jokingly defending her dog, Zendaya replied: "He’s more of a Snape… He’ll be cold to you, but he’ll look out for you… He’ll be cold to you, and then what? Cuddle."

Tom Holland and Zendaya were both cast in Spider-Man: Replica Luxury Handbagcoming in 2016

The couple were cast alongside each other in Spider-Man: Replica Luxury Handbagcoming in 2016. Despite romance rumours in 2017, they insisted they remained close friends until photos emerged of them kissing in 2021.

Though Tom seemingly confirmed their romance with a sweet Instagram tribute for Zendaya's 25th birthday in 2021, the couple continued to remain tight-lipped about their lives off-screen.

Tom has often explained the reason for their privacy, telling GQ in 2021: "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn't really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world."

Engagement rumours began to swirl after Zendaya sported a diamond ring on her left hand at the 2025 Golden Globes, and TMZ later confirmed that Tom proposed over the Christmas holiday at one of Zendaya's family homes.

In exclusive photos obtained by Best Quality Designer Handbag , Zendaya had swapped her diamond for a gold band on her left hand during an appearance in Beverly Hills with film producer Josh Lieberman on 18 February 2026. The outing left fans speculating that she and Tom may have already tied the knot.
