Zendaya and Tom Holland Grow Their Family With Furry New Friend

The Drama star added, “That’s probably the most ridiculous Hollywood thing about me, how my dog be living.”

But Zendaya isn’t the only animal lover in the house. In fact, Tom previously detailed his love for his dog Tessa, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Tessa that he sometimes took to work with him. 

“I love her, she is an angel,” he told Time in 2017. “She is the sweetest, most angelic thing you’ll ever meet.”

However, the Holland family—who adopted Tessa in 2014—said goodbye to her in 2024 with heartfelt tributes after she died.

Alongside a picture of himself with the pup, Tom wrote on Instagram at the time, “Missing my lady.”

Meanwhile, his dad Dominic Holland reflected on Tessa’s strong connection with Tom and his family.

“Not so much an obituary—but more an insight into the final lap of the life of a remarkable little dog who had come to dominate my family,” he wrote on his blog. “Indeed, she was the only Holland who everyone loved all of the time.”
