Zendaya is the only child of Stoermer and Kazembe Ajamu Coleman; her parents divorced in 2016 after eight years of marriage. Stoermer’s long career teaching in underfunded Oakland schools and later arts administration has been credited by Zendaya as a major influence on her values and approach to beauty and work.
2026 has been busy: Zendaya returned as Rue for Euphoria’s final season, starred opposite Robert Pattinson in A24’s The Drama, appears in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey as Athena, reprised MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside husband Tom Holland, and will play Chani in Dune: Part Three. Her last Instagram update was the Dune: Part Three trailer in July.
