If you were wondering how Tom Holland and Zendaya were doing, Mr. Peter Parker himself just dished about their relationship, and it's making my heart melt. The 28-year-old revealed what it's like working with his girlfriend, and he didn't hold back.

In an episode of Dish podcast, Holland talked about his time working on Spider-Man: Homecoming and how they coped with their rising fame together. "Zendaya and I have been such a strong couple...in the spirit of being able to relate with one another on something that is very, very unique," he shared.

The Marvel star continued raving about their time on the films, stating she was his "saving grace" and the "best thing that's ever happened to me." Cue the awws.

He also had a cheeky response when going over the perks of working with a significant other. Even going as far as saying, "Studios love it, one hotel room. Seperate drivers. We're not crazy now. Listen, it's work, alright?" Oooh, I see you, Tom.

The actor also revealed his holiday plans this year, which he will be spending with Zendaya and her family. "I am gonna be in America this year, I'll be with my girlfriend's family, which will be fun. Where we'll be is a secret," he shared.

He even mentioned combining their families' gatherings in the future—though their current jobs are too busy to do it right now. "I think what we'd like to start doing is, rather than spending it with each family each year, is to bring the families together. That's what I think we want to do next time," he adds. "This time, because we're both actors, we're terrible at organizing things. So it hasn't happened yet. The thought's there. The ideas has been planted."

Holland also talked about venturing into vegetarian cooking since Zendaya is a vegetarian. Um, best boyfriend ever or? Though he admitted his cooking skills aren't the best. "I've been in Boston these past few weeks, and she's been working, so I've doing a lot of the dinners. And they haven't been great. There's been a few 'let's just order-ins,'" he said. Glad to see the Euphoria star doesn't hold back.

The Bero Brewing founder also spent time talking about his new non-alcoholic company, family traditions and more. The couple started out very private back in 2017, and rarely post about each other on social media, but most recently have been opening up about their relationship. Here's to more Tomdaya in 2025!
