Tom Holland says crocheting helps him unwind with Zendaya at home

Tom Holland turned a star-studded Bero appearance into a crochet moment, revealing that he and Zendaya have been crocheting together at home to unwind after hectic workdays. Speaking at the 2nd Annual Bero Padel Classic in Sherman Oaks, California, Holland said the hobby helps him “turn his brain off,” a small domestic detail that landed like a big signal for a craft built on repetition, focus and calm.

The conversation unfolded as Holland spoke with Olympic diver Tom Daley, who is well known for knitting and crochet. Daley presented Holland with a crocheted Bero can holder, giving the moment a tidy full-circle feel for a night centered on Holland’s non-alcoholic beer brand. Holland, who co-founded Bero, reportedly joked that the white yarn design looked “like a spider web,” a comment that fit the easy banter between two public figures who both understand the appeal of handwork.

Zendaya was present as well, and Holland made clear that the couple has already brought crochet into their home routine. “So we have been crocheting at home,” he said of the shared hobby, before adding, “I absolutely love it.” For a pair whose relationship has been the subject of constant public interest and marriage rumors, the detail stood out because it was so ordinary: not a red-carpet pose, but a post-work reset built around yarn and simple stitches.

That is exactly why the story resonated beyond celebrity chatter. Crochet has long been prized for the same qualities Holland described, it is portable, repetitive and screen-free, which makes it easy to pick up after a stressful day. For everyday crocheters, seeing Holland and Zendaya treat it as a decompressing ritual may do more than generate a headline. It could pull fresh people toward a hook and a ball of yarn, especially those looking for something tactile that quiets the noise of a demanding schedule.

Holland and Zendaya first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, and their private life has stayed under a bright public spotlight ever since. But the image that lingered from Sherman Oaks was simpler than Hollywood romance rumors: two busy people at home, crocheting side by side, using a familiar craft to settle down after the day’s pressure.
