Spider-Man star Tom Holland doesn't intend to continue making films after he becomes a parent.

The Marvel actor, who's been in a relationship with his Spider-Man co-star Zendaya since 2021, has explained he'd be looking to retire from acting once he has children.

"When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore," he told Men's Health, adding he'd be too busy with two activities. "Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth."

Holland and Zendaya have been keeping their romance relatively private, though they've gifted fans the occasional gushing comment about each other — like her viral "rizz" interview during the Dune: Part Two press tour.

In December, the Peter Parker actor opened up on the positive effects of acting with his partner after it was announced they'd been cast in Christopher Nolan's new untitled movie as well as returning for a fourth Spider-Man outing.

"It's a saving grace. Yeah, best thing that's ever happened to me," he said on the Dish podcast about being on set with the Challengers star.

He continued: "It's just that perfect thing when you're on set and a director will give you a note that maybe you don't agree with, or I know that she doesn't particularly like, and it's just that, like, familiar glance at each other of like, 'Can't wait to talk about that later'."

Spider-Man 4 will release on July 24, 2026. Spider-Man: No Way Home is available to buy now on Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store and other digital retailers.
