Folks – grab your popcorn because Hollywood might have a new “it” couple. Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro have been spotted together a few times now, and the internet is officially in detective mode.
Are they dating? Are they just friends? Let’s break down the sightings, the fan reactions, and why people can’t stop shipping these two.
Spotted: Garfield and Barbaro at W Magazine’s Bash
The first sighting that sent everyone spiraling was at W Magazine’s Best Performances party in Los Angeles on January 4, 2025. Garfield, 41, and Barbaro, 34, were snapped looking pretty cozy alongside Eddie Redmayne and W Magazine’s Lynn Hirschberg. And you know how this goes, one photo is all it takes to get the rumor mill spinning. Was it just a friendly hangout, or was there something more? Fans were quick to jump to the latter.
London Calling: A Theatre Date?
Just when everyone was ready to chalk it up to coincidence, the pair was spotted again, this time in London. They attended a performance of Richard II at the Bridge Theatre (yep, the one starring Jonathan Bailey). Witnesses say Garfield and Barbaro sat side by side, rocking low-key baseball caps, and were deep in conversation before the show kicked off. Naturally, someone caught the moment on video, and it didn’t take long for the clip to hit social media, fueling the romance rumors even more.
So, Are They Actually Dating?
Here’s where things get a little murky. Neither Garfield nor Barbaro has confirmed (or denied) anything, but sources close to the actors have hinted that they’ve been “spending time together quietly.” Which, let’s be real, is basically celebrity code for “Yeah, they’re probably dating, but don’t expect an Instagram soft launch anytime soon.”
Garfield has always been private about his love life. In a recent interview, he said, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.” So, if you’re waiting for an official announcement, don’t hold your breath.
Fans Are Already Shipping Them
The internet has wasted no time coming up with ship names (Garbaro, anyone?). Social media is flooded with posts like, “Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro might actually break the internet if they’re together” and “This is the plot twist I didn’t know I needed.”
A Look at Their Relationship Histories
Garfield, of course, was famously linked to Emma Stone during their Amazing Spider-Man days. More recently, he dated model Alyssa Miller and spiritual reader Kate Tomas. Barbaro, meanwhile, became a household name after her role as Phoenix in Top Gun: Maverick, and she’s currently riding high with an Oscar nomination for playing Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.
Will we see Garfield and Barbaro hit the red carpet together? Will they start popping up in each other’s Instagram stories? For now, we’ll have to wait and see. But if their recent appearances are any indication, this might be a Hollywood love story in the making. Stay tuned, something tells us this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Garbaro.
