"I do worry that their combined stardom will magnify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb", Dominic, 57, said of the pair, who recently became engaged.

Then, expressing his belief that "show business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention", Dominic highlighted his own relationship with his wife Nikki Holland as "an example" for Tom, 28, and Zendaya to look to.

Dominic wrote, "With Nikki steering the family ship and my 'wisdom' on tap and a study in getting things mostly wrong and yet somehow right at the same time, I am completely confident they will make a successful union."

According to 'People', Tom and Zendaya, who play onscreen couple Peter Parker and Michelle "MJ" Jones in the Spider-Man movies, had long maintained that they were just friends and not romantically involved.

Earlier this month, Zendaya stepped out at the 2025 Golden Globes sporting a diamond ring on her left hand, sparking engagement speculation.
