Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayTom Holland's Dad Shares Secrets Behind His Proposal to Zendaya
Zendaya's inner circle has a marvelous nickname for Tom Holland.
The Spider-Man: No Way Home costars—whose engagement was revealed last month—attended a party in Oakland with her family and friends over the weekend, and videos from the occasion revealed that those close to Zendaya hilariously refer to her fiancé as his web-weaving superhero character.
In one clip posted to X Feb. 3, one of party attendees spoke into the camera as he asked Zendaya how to say "I love you" in sign language. After panning to the Euphoria star—who showed him the symbol—he then flipped the camera to capture Tom in the crowd, saying, "Oh, hold on, let me get Spider-Man."
And that wasn't the only time her pals called Tom by his Marvel role's name. In another video from the night, Tom—wearing a black button-down shirt and black pants—was seen donning a big grin while holding an adorable baby. Atop the clip, the caption read, "The real Spider-Man. Facts."
Of course, a special nickname isn't the only way Tom has been welcomed into the Coleman crew. In fact, the 28-year-old's dad Dominic Holland previously revealed that his son had formally asked about joining their families before getting down on one knee.
"Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared," Dominic wrote in a Patreon post on Jan. 10, noting that not only had Tom purchased the ring, but he had spoken with Zendaya's father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, and "gained permission to propose to his daughter."

And as for how Tom's family feels about Zendaya? Dominic said he and his wife Nikki Holland couldn't be happier to see the couple—who went public with their relationship in 2021, four years after first sparking romance rumors—begin a new chapter in their love story.
“Even though show-business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention, with us an example, with Nikki helming this family and my ‘wisdom’ on tap and a study in getting things mostly wrong and yet somehow right at the same time,” Dominic shared, “I am completely confident they will make a successful union.”
