Looks like Hollywood’s got a new power couple! Actor Andrew Garfield is reportedly dating Oscar-nominated actress Monica Barbaro, and while the two have kept things pretty lowkey, their recent outings have stirred up plenty of buzz.
A source close to the couple spilled the tea to People, saying, “They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly.” That’s right—Garfield, 41, and Barbaro, 34, have been flying under the radar, but that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed fans from catching glimpses of them together.
So, how long have these two been an item? Well, that part’s still a mystery. There’s no official word on when their romance started, but what we do know is that Barbaro is currently riding high on success, earning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her role as Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown.
While they haven’t made any grand declarations about their relationship, the duo has been spotted at some pretty high-profile events. Last month, they were photographed at W Magazine’s annual Best Performances party in Los Angeles, posing alongside actor Eddie Redmayne and journalist Lynn Hirschberg. A casual night out? Maybe. A subtle public debut? Could be!
If that wasn’t enough, their recent London appearance only fueled more speculation. According to People, the two attended a stage performance of Richard II starring Bridgerton heartthrob Jonathan Bailey. And here’s the kicker—an Instagram video posted Thursday caught them chatting before the show, both rocking baseball caps and looking comfortable in each other’s company.
While fans are thrilled about Garfield’s rumored new romance, his dating history has always been a hot topic. Before Barbaro, he was linked to Kate Tomas, a British spiritual advisor, though she revealed back in October that their relationship had ended months earlier.
Of course, no conversation about Garfield’s love life is complete without mentioning his most famous relationship—with fellow actor Emma Stone. The two first got together while filming The Amazing Spider-Man and quickly became one of Hollywood’s favorite couples. Though they split in 2015, they’ve remained on good terms, proving that exes can, in fact, be friends.
Despite the mounting speculation, neither Garfield nor Barbaro has publicly commented on their relationship. HuffPost reportedly reached out to both of them (as well as to Stone, for whatever reason), but so far, no response.
So, are we witnessing Hollywood’s next big romance in the making? Or are they just two friends enjoying each other’s company? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—fans are watching closely!
