Marvel star Tom Holland has opened up about his relationship with fellow actor Zendaya, saying she is the “best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

In a wide-ranging interview on the “Dish” podcast, released Wednesday, Holland revealed that the couple intend to spend Christmas together this year, along with Zendaya’s 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 told the podcast’s hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett.

“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 added.

“This time, because we’re both actors, we’re terrible at organizing things. So it hasn’t happened yet. The thought’s there. The idea has been planted.”

As he discussed his Christmas plans and spoke about his own culinary skills, Holland said that he is “starting to venture into a lot of vegetarian cooking,” since Zendaya is a vegetarian.

“I’ve been in Boston these past few weeks and she’s been working so I’ve been doing a lot of the dinners. And they haven’t been great. There’s been a few ‘let’s just order-ins,’” he said.
