Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield Dating? Here’s What We Know

Hollywood is buzzing with rumors about a potential new couple—Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield. The two talented stars have been seen together at high-profile events and even caught enjoying a night at the theater. While neither has confirmed the romance, their growing list of public appearances has fans wondering: Is love in the air?

Here’s everything we know so far about this intriguing duo.

A String of Public Sightings

The whispers of a possible romance began on January 4, 2025, when Barbaro and Garfield attended W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party in Los Angeles. Posing alongside actor Eddie Redmayne and W Magazine editor Lynn Hirschberg, the pair looked effortlessly stylish. Though they weren’t alone, their presence together raised eyebrows.

The real buzz, however, started when they were seen together again—this time across the pond. On February 20, a video surfaced online showing them seated side by side at London’s Bridge Theatre, watching Richard II, starring Jonathan Bailey.

Casually dressed in baseball caps, they appeared comfortable and engaged in conversation before the show. It wasn’t a flashy Hollywood date, but it was enough to send the internet into a frenzy.

According to an insider, "They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly," a source told PEOPLE.

Keeping It Private: Garfield’s Approach to Dating

If these two are indeed dating, don’t expect an official confirmation anytime soon—especially from Andrew Garfield.

The Tick, Tick… Boom! star has always kept his personal life under wraps. In an October 2024 interview with Esquire, he made his stance on privacy clear:

“I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.”

That’s a strong statement, meaning even if he and Barbaro are romantically involved, fans will likely be left guessing.

Monica Barbaro: Hollywood’s Rising Star

While Andrew Garfield may be an established star, Monica Barbaro is quickly carving out her own place in Hollywood.

After making waves as Lt. Natasha "Phoenix" Trace in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), Barbaro has taken her career to the next level with her critically acclaimed performance as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown, opposite Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan.

Her portrayal of the legendary singer-songwriter has earned her her first-ever Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Following the nomination announcement on January 23, she revealed to PEOPLE that her Top Gun castmates were beyond excited:

"Our group chat just blew up," she said. "They're just super supportive and thrilled."

With award season in full swing, Barbaro is in the spotlight now more than ever. Could she also be stepping into a new romance?

A Look at Their Past Relationships

Garfield’s dating history has often been the subject of headlines. He was famously in a long-term relationship with his Amazing Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone, before they split in the late 2010s.

In early 2022, he had a short-lived romance with model Alyssa Miller, and most recently, he was linked to spiritual reader Kate Tomas, though they reportedly broke up in late 2024.

Barbaro, on the other hand, has kept her romantic life far more private. Unlike Garfield, who has been publicly linked to several well-known women, she has largely avoided relationship rumors—until now.

Are They Hollywood’s Next It Couple?

So, where does that leave us? Are Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield dating, or is this just another case of Hollywood speculation running wild?

The truth is, we don’t know for sure—but their recent outings certainly make a strong case for something brewing. Given Garfield’s history of keeping his relationships private and Barbaro’s skyrocketing career, they may be taking things slow or simply enjoying each other’s company away from the public eye.

For now, all fans can do is watch, wait, and analyze every new sighting. Will they step out together for an official red carpet moment, or will this remain a Hollywood mystery? Only time will tell.
