Andrew Garfield has a new romance in his life! The We Live in Time star is reportedly dating A Complete Unknown actress Monica Barbaro, according to an exclusive source.
“They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly,” the source revealed. While neither Garfield, 41, nor Barbaro, 34, have publicly addressed their relationship, their recent outings together have sparked speculation.
A Low-Key Romance in the Spotlight
The rumored couple was first spotted together at W Magazine’s annual Best Performances party in Los Angeles on January 4. They were seen posing for photos alongside Eddie Redmayne and Lynn Hirschberg.
More recently, Garfield and Barbaro were seen sitting together in the audience at the Bridge Theatre in London, enjoying a performance of Richard II, starring Jonathan Bailey. A video circulating on social media shows the two casually chatting before the show began, both dressed in laid-back outfits, including baseball caps.
Garfield’s Past Relationships
Garfield, who has been notoriously private about his love life, was last known to be dating spiritual reader Kate Tomas. The two were first linked in March 2024 but had split months before Tomas confirmed their breakup in October.
Prior to that, Garfield was in a long-term relationship with his Amazing Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone in the 2010s. He also briefly dated model Alyssa Miller in late 2021, but they parted ways by April 2022.
Despite the public’s curiosity, Garfield has made it clear he does not intend to discuss his relationships openly. In an October 2024 interview with Esquire, he stated, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.”
Monica Barbaro’s Rising Stardom
Barbaro, best known for her role as Lt. Natasha “Phoenix” Trace in Top Gun: Maverick, is currently making waves in Hollywood. She stars as a young Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, alongside Timothée Chalamet as the legendary musician.
Her portrayal of Baez has been met with critical acclaim, earning her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Academy Awards. Reflecting on her nomination, Barbaro shared with PEOPLE that her Top Gun co-stars were ecstatic. “Our group chat just blew up,” she said, adding, “They’re just super supportive and thrilled.”
While neither Garfield nor Barbaro have confirmed their relationship, their recent outings suggest a quiet but growing romance. With both actors currently in the spotlight, fans will be watching closely to see where their relationship goes next.
