“Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro: Are They More Than Just Friends?”
Is the heartthrob Andrew Garfield heating things up with “A Complete Unknown” star Monica Barbaro? Romance rumors are swirling like a whirlwind after social media sleuths spotted the duo getting cozy at Jonathan Bailey’s production of “Richard II” in London on February 19. But it seems this pairing isn’t just a fleeting moment – they also posed together at W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party in Los Angeles earlier that same month. With Garfield typically trying to keep his romantic life on the down-low, it seems the buzz around him and Barbaro is kicking into high gear.
Andrew, who notoriously steers clear of the gossip mill, told Esquire back in October 2024, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone.” Still, can we blame fans for playing detective? After all, the “Amazing Spider-Man” star’s dating history is positively star-studded, featuring the likes of Emma Stone, whom he famously dated from 2011 to 2015, and singer Rita Ora, who’s been a part of his romantic narrative too.
And let’s not forget the subtle flirtations between Garfield and comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg on her show – a relationship that, according to Dimoldenberg, isn’t in the cards right now. “I don’t think it’s going to happen. Otherwise I would be going out with him already, wouldn’t I?” she candidly mentioned in a February 2024 interview with The New Yorker.
On the flip side, not all love lives come with the same level of scrutiny. Dr. Kate Tomas, Andrew’s acquaintance turned maybe-more, chimed in about media attention overshadowing women’s accomplishments just because they’re linked to a famous guy. She affirmed her happiness in a new relationship in June 2024, stating, “I’m in love and I’m really happy,” yet critiqued the media’s tendency to put women in the shadow of their partners.
As speculation continues to fuel the intrigue around Garfield’s romantic escapades, it’s clear that no matter how hard he tries, love is just too radiant to keep under wraps. Here’s hoping that whatever the nature of his relationship with Barbaro, it brings him joy without too much paparazzi hassle!
