Tom Holland's dad shares the bizarre gift he gave Tom and Zendaya after wedding
Tom Holland and Zendaya have been keeping the details of their wedding pretty tight lipped, and so has their family. However, his dad has spilled about what he bought the couple after the big day, and we'll take any details we can get!
Holland's father, Dominic, took to his Substack to speak about his obsession with kitchen knives.
He spoke about his recent visit to Japan, the country which are famous for their knives, along with hundreds of other things.
When he was there, he found the perfect gift for his son, and now-wife, Zendaya.

"In discussing which knife to buy and how many, we inadvertently let on that one knife was destined for ‘Tom’ and ‘Zendaya’. He had only rudimentary English, but his ears pricked up," Dominic wrote.
"He knew us as Mr and Mrs Holland, and his agile mind began to whir. Not that too much detection work was really needed. I mean, how many Zendayas do you know? A quick Google search and his world exploded…"
The shop keeper then excitedly asked whether he, and Nikki, were Holland's parents, to which they confirmed.
Like the rest of the world, Dominic revealed that many were asking if they were married, before many people surrounded them asking for photos.
"If this is the excitement that we provoke, I can only imagine what it must be like being the real Holland of interest," Dominic penned.
"One of the seductions of fame is creating such excitement and making people’s day. But this must also be exhausting."
The next day, Dominic and Nikki went back to the shop to pick up the engraved knives, which the shopkeepers tried to give them for free, although they insisted on paying full price.
"We agreed he could post his photos to Instagram, but I asked him not to mention that the knives were gifts for you-know-who, so as not to ruin the surprise. Not that Tom scrolls IG anymore, and he certainly does not read my witterings on this Substack," Holland's father penned.
Now, he hopes that the young knife entrepreneur's shop is as packed as the café that Tom and Zendaya stopped at during their press tour in Shanghai.
For months, fans had been speculating whether Tom and Zendaya had tied the knot, after going public together in 2021.
Social media users even began to post AI pictures of their wedding, claiming they had held their nuptials in Lake Como, Italy.
Even Holland's grandmother fell for the pictures, believing he had held the ceremony without her.
It was this story, that led The Odyssey star into confirming that the two were in fact Mr and Mrs Holland.
When telling the story in an interview with Esquire, Holland was asked whether he had to reassure any other family members.
To this, he replied: “No, because they were all there."
Unfortunately though, he refused to say anymore, adding: “That’s all you’ll get on that."
