Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro have reportedly embarked on a romantic journey together. "Their courtship has been refreshingly understated, with quiet moments shared in intimate settings," revealed a source to People magazine on Friday. Representatives for the rumored pair did not promptly respond to Page Six's inquiries seeking comment.
The exact timing of their potential love story remains shrouded in mystery, but the "Social Network" actor and the "A Complete Unknown" star were captured in a photograph together at W magazine's annual Best Performances gala in Los Angeles earlier last month. While Garfield's arm draped affectionately around Barbaro's waist, the snapshot also featured "Les Misérables" star Eddie Redmayne and W magazine reporter Lynn Hirschberg.
However, earlier this week, the chemistry between Garfield, 41, and Barbaro, 34, was palpable as they attended the Bridge Theatre's production of Shakespeare's "Richard II," starring Jonathan Bailey. In an Instagram video documenting the encounter, the casually attired duo could be observed leaning in close to converse, eagerly anticipating the curtain's rise. Their outing, seemingly a private affair, saw Garfield donning a navy blue hoodie emblazoned with the word "College," while Barbaro opted for a fiery red sweatshirt. Intriguingly, both chose to accessorize with baseball caps, adding a touch of shared style.
Garfield's last publicly acknowledged romance was with his "professional witch" girlfriend, Dr. Kate Tomas, who disclosed in October 2024 that they had "parted ways months prior." Prior to this announcement, during an interview with Esquire magazine just weeks earlier, Garfield had made it abundantly clear that he has "never" discussed and "will never" discuss "anything" pertaining to his "personal life" or romantic entanglements. His most high-profile relationship was with his "Amazing Spider-Man" co-star Emma Stone, which spanned from 2011 to 2015.
