Zendaya and Tom Holland have long been viewed as one of Hollywood’s most adored couples, and on Tuesday the newlyweds marked their marriage once again with a lavish three-day celebration said to have cost £500,000.
The pair, whose combined fortune is estimated at around $65 million, have spent recent months moving at full speed through a packed promotional schedule for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey.
After months of premieres, press tours and red-carpet appearances, Zendaya and Holland are now understood to be preparing for a year away from the Hollywood spotlight, choosing instead to concentrate on married life and their quieter routine in south-west London.
The couple are based in a £3.5 million home in Richmond, where they were recently seen enjoying an understated lunch date in the local area.
Both stars have previously suggested they may want to slow down, with Zendaya speaking openly about her concerns over raising future children under the constant glare of celebrity attention.
Holland, meanwhile, has been even more direct, saying he expects to step away from acting once they start a family so he can devote himself to life as a stay-at-home dad.
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s year off for love: newlyweds set to focus on married life in the UK after the Spider-Man actor said he would retire when they have children, following their reported $65 million fortune
The break would come after an especially busy chapter for Zendaya, who was reportedly named the year’s top global box office draw in a recent Forbes report.
Adding to her film portfolio with The Drama, The Odyssey and Spider-Man Brand New Day, the projects have generated nearly $2billion worldwide and have taken her net worth up to a reported $40million.
And the year isn’t slowing down for the star with Dune: Part Three set for release later this year.
Meanwhile Spider-Man Brand New Day is set to take Tom’s earnings to between $20-25million.
After his first Spider-Man gig back in 2016 earned him a mere $250,000, the star has shot up the Hollywood payroll in the last decade.
And after the biggest year of both their careers, will it be time for the couple to retreat from the spotlight and live a quiet life in south-west London.
Tom reportedly bought a £2.5million house near his family in Richmond back in 2018 and after extensive renovations on the three-storey home, Zendaya moved in in 2023.
Now said to be worth £3.5million the six-bedroom house is said to also boast a home cinema and gym.
Meanwhile Zendaya owns an array of her own properties in Southern California, the Hollywood Hills and Brooklyn, New York.
Tom has been open about his hopes for a family, telling Men’s Health back in 2025, the actor confessed: ‘When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore.’
Revealing his priorities will just be golfing and parenting he said: ‘Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.’
Meanwhile Zendaya has also confirmed she will take a break to enjoy married life at the end of the year.
Asked about her plans at the Spider-Man premiere, she told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Just mind my business, you know. And stay to myself.
‘I think sometimes it’s such a whirlwind and you’re kind of like in a new place every second, and your brain is kind of all over the place, and it’s fun and I’m grateful and I wouldn’t change a thing but sometimes you need to just disappear for a little bit’.
Zendaya has also grappled with how fame will affect her future children, telling British Vogue back in 2024: ‘I don’t necessarily want my kids to have to deal with this.’

Tom has gone as far as to say his film career will be over when the couple decide to have children as he focuses on being a stay-at-home dad
She confessed her dream would be to ‘make things and pop out when I need to pop out, and then have a safe and protected life with my family, and not be worried that if I’m not delivering something all the time, or not giving all the time, that everything’s going to go away.
‘I think that’s always been a massive anxiety of mine: this idea that people will just be like, Actually, I know I’ve been with you since you were 14, but I’m over you now because you’re boring.’
The pair famously met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016 and after rumours this year that the pair had tied the knot, Tom confirmed their marital status during the recent press tour when he referred to Zendaya as his ‘wife’.
Seth Meyers said on Late Night: ‘We have something in common, I spent a lot of time in my day watching YouTube, podcasts and Spider-Man content and my wife is less patient about it.
‘Because I’m not in the film or connected to it in anyway, she feels like it’s a waste of time’.
Tom replied: ‘Yeah, well my wife is in the film so [that helps].’
In another public display of affection, Zendaya gushed over her husband being her ‘best friend’.
She said in an interview with MTV: ‘Well, Tom, obviously, my best friend, but being able to do these films with him is a privilege, and I love to be able to grow together and watch him. I mean, he’s the best.’
Tom has also admitted Zendaya has helped him cope with life in the spotlight because of the sense of ‘calm’ she brings to his life.
He told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I think Zendaya always just brings me an unbelievable sense of calm.
‘Even in the midst of all of this craziness and traveling the world and making these movies and sometimes being really overwhelmed – because that’s what happens when you’re a human being… No one calms me down better than she does.’
The couple hosted their family and friends at the five-star Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey (pictured) close to the Spider-Man star’s family home in Kingston upon Thames
After originally tying the knot in a hushed ceremony, the couple hosted their family and friends at the five-star Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey close to the Spider-Man star’s family home in Kingston upon Thames.
This week an A-list guest list included the likes of Timothée Chalamet and his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, plus Holland’s fellow on-screen superhero, Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr, descended on Surrey for the couple’s second wedding.
In all 250 attended, some arriving at the 370-acre venue in helicopters.
Sources said the adoring pair had their audience ‘in tears of joy’ over their ‘beautiful and emotional’ speeches to each other.
The sprawling estate near Leatherhead was once owned by the late newspaper proprietor Lord Beaverbrook, who hosted powerful figures there such as Winston Churchill.
It has 56 rooms and suites and its on-site Japanese restaurant has hot air balloon-styled dining tables.
Guests were treated to flowing champagne, played croquet on the grounds, indulged in Japanese food – and even had a pool party.
In a nod to Holland’s Marvel superhero, the day incorporated a red and blue lights display.
A rehearsal dinner was said to have taken place on Monday, a day before the wedding, with Tom’s chef brother Sam, 27, acting as best man.
A source told The Sun: ‘The ceremony was so beautiful and romantic. Tom and Zendaya aced their speeches as well — they were both very funny but also very emotional.
‘There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They’re incredibly hard-working and lovely people, and this stunning wedding has capped off an amazing year for them.’
