Zendaya Has the Relationship Advice You Need to Hear Before the Holidays

We already knew Zendaya is a killer actress and that her style regularly slays the game — but it turns out that she’s also really good at giving relationship advice too.

In a new video on her app, Zendaya sat down with her assistant Darnell to get real about everything from being friends with someone before dating them, to dating someone in another country — and she has one piece of dating advice that you need to hear before the holidays if you’re considering bringing your new S.O. home to meet the fam.

It can be hard to decide when it’s the right time to introduce the person you’re dating to your family. When you’ve been dating for six months? A year? According to Zendaya, there’s no specific length of time you should have been dating — but rather, it should be when you feel committed enough to know that your relationship is more than just a fling

“If you guys both agree that this is a long term relationship that you both want to invest your time in,” she says when asked about the right time for your S.O. to meet your family. “Because otherwise it’s just embarrassing to bring someone home and you’re like, ‘we broke up.’ I don’t know a specific time. I think you should just bring them home when you think for sure that you’re going to spend a lot of time with this person and you feel comfortable bringing them home.”

Considering her rumored boyfriend Tom Holland reportedly recently met her family (and they apparently love him), we’ll be taking all the dating advice we can get from Zendaya.
