Tom Holland, Zendaya, & More Pay Tribute to the Actor’s Late Dog Tessa

Tessa, Tom Holland’s beloved Staffy dog, died earlier this month, and the star, along with his partner Zendaya, are honoring the memory of the canine friend by posting the sweetest tributes to social media.

Earlier this month, Tom Holland’s father, Dominic Holland, was the first to break the news of Tessa’s passing over on Patreon. On April 5, while announcing her death, he posted his own tribute to Tessa, chronicling “the final lap of the life of a remarkable little dog who had come to dominate my family.” In the post, he also claimed Tessa “was the only Holland who everyone loved all of the time.”

Tom Holland’s own tribute to Tessa arrived on April 21, 2024. The star took to Instagram to post a closeup photo of Tessa in bed, with her paws covering some of her face. “Missing my lady,” the Spider-Man actor captioned the post alongside a red heart emoji.

On his Instagram stories, Holland shared another photo of Tessa, linking to a follow-up update posted by his father on April 19, where the family revealed they had planted a tree in honor of the dog in front of the Holland family house’s garden, where they had also scattered her ashes. The location of the tree, officially referred to as “Tessa’s tree,” was chosen “for all the world to see, share, and enjoy.”
