Zendaya and Tom Holland Get Dinner Recipes from His Brother

Sam Holland, brother of Tom Holland, is sharing some rare glimpses into his brother’s romantic life with fiancée Zendaya.

“Zendaya follows a plant-based diet, and I sent Tom a bunch of recipes as he was in charge of dinner while she was filming in Boston,” Sam, 26, mentioned to The Times of London in a profile published on Saturday, August 16. “He went through them one by one and really enjoyed them.”

While Tom, 29, is busy with acting, Sam has carved out a niche in the culinary world.

“My brother Sam is an exceptional chef, and each Christmas dinner keeps getting better. It’s something I eagerly anticipate,” Tom previously raved during a December 2024 appearance on the “Dish From Waitrose” podcast. “Bless him, he takes on a massive responsibility, and it seems as if his entire Christmas revolves around cooking for everyone, but he’s truly excellent at it.”
