Actor Andrew Garfield recently made hearts flutter when he appeared on the popular YouTube series “Chicken Shop Date,” hosted by Amelia DiMoldenburg. The two shared some viral moments at British GQ’s Man of the Year Awards in November 2022 and at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. Fans wanted to know if the two had a real relationship on her series where she takes famous guests out on “dates.”
The October 2024 interview sounds like a romantic comedy, but no, Garfield and DiMoldenburg aren’t dating in real life. Garfield is currently dating Monica Barbaro. However, he joked to DiMoldenberg that their previous relationship was “over in an instant”.
It’s actually more mixed. Garfield’s dating history includes short flings and long-term relationships. In a 2019 interview with IMDb, he was very honest about his views on love.
“Yes, I believe in love at first sight, but I also believe that anyone can absolutely fall in love with someone if they know their story,” he said. “I believe that the modern concept of romantic love is deeply flawed and is causing many problems in modern society. I believe that it is possible for all of us to always love ourselves and those around us.”
Just recently, Garfield made a rare comment about why he avoids talking about his love life entirely. In a new interview with Vanity Fair published on Nov. 18, he explained that discussing who he’s dating “feels like an invasion of my inner world, my private world. I thought it would eventually subside, and I’m very surprised that it hasn’t.”
Here’s Garfield’s complete dating history to date.
Shannon Woodward
Garfield dated actress Shannon Woodward from 2008 to 2011. In 2010, Garfield spoke to Parade.com about their relationship and how his burgeoning acting career kept him busy.
“I think my girlfriend is proud of me and the fact that I’ve stayed grounded,” he said. “I’m just busy. That’s the most important thing. I don’t have much time to lament or complain about being bored. She travels with me when she’s not working… Whenever she has time, we’re together. When I’m alone, you’ll find me surfing in the ocean.”
In May of the same year, the Daily Mail reported that the couple broke up because he “literally never saw her” due to his busy filming schedule for The Amazing Spider-Man.
emma stone
Garfield met his Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone on set, and their on-screen chemistry easily translated into an off-screen romance. In 2012, he told Teen Vogue that he felt an immediate connection to her.
“When she came in, it was like I woke up,” he said. “It was like jumping into whitewater rapids and not trying to hold on to the side. It was wild and exciting while filming.”
Stone and Garfield broke up in 2015 while Garfield was working on the film Silence. A source told People magazine, “There was no drama. They got separated at work. They still care about each other. They still have love for each other. They get along well and remain close.”
The official added that the challenge is that their schedules are conflicting. The two remain friends and were first spotted together after their breakup, sparking rumors of a reunion. However, Stone got engaged to husband Dave McCurry in 2019 and they have one child together.
Susie Abromite
In 2018, Garfield sparked rumors that he was dating actress Susie Abromite after they were spotted kissing during a date in Malibu. It seems to have disappeared after a few months.
rita ora
At the end of 2018, Garfield was spotted holding hands with pop star Rita Ora in London. In November of that year, a source told The Sun: “The relationship is starting to heat up and she says what they have is real. It’s still early days, but they like each other and are waiting to see what happens. Things are different because of their schedules, but they have a real connection.”
The two broke up in March 2019. “The relationship has fizzled out,” the Mirror reported, adding: “Sadly, they have both accepted the situation and moved on.”
alyssa miller
Garfield was spotted with model Alyssa Miller in New York City in November 2021, and the two appear to have been dating for a while. A source told The Sun in April 2022 that Miller and Garfield had been “together for quite some time before going public.”
However, they broke up that spring. The same source said it was “really difficult to meet” due to their “work schedules.”
He added: “Additionally, it became clear that there were some differences between the two of them and it was decided that, at least for now, it would be best for them to separate.”
phoebe dynevor
In 2022, Garfield attended GQ’s Men of the Year Awards in London with Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor. A source told The Sun: “Andrew and Phoebe hit it off right away and were immediately attracted to each other. They know each other through various contacts in the industry and have a lot in common. But this is certainly not a one-off meeting. They parted ways together and then met up afterwards, acting like a proper couple.”
However, there were no further reports of them dating together. Dynevor is currently engaged to Cameron Fuller.
Dr Kate Thomas
In March 2024, the actor was spotted on a double date with Dr. Kate Thomas and her friends Bo Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers. When the relationship was revealed, a source told Us Weekly that Thomas is “down to earth and feels very comfortable with her.”
She continued: “Andrew really appreciates the fact that Kate is very different from other women he has dated. He has a great sense of humor and finds Kate easy to talk to.”
The pair were spotted at Chiltern Firehouse, a celebrity hotspot around London, and then at Wimbledon in July. In August, there were rumors of a breakup after Garfield appeared on the dating app Raya.
Thomas later confirmed their breakup in October, writing on Instagram: “We broke up a few months ago, but I’m sure he’ll be happy to know he’s loved.”
Monica Barbaro
On February 21, 2025, People magazine reported that Garfield was dating Complete Unknown actress Monica Barbaro. “They are really low-key and quietly spending time together,” a source told the outlet.
Garfield and Barbaro were first photographed together in January 2025. Shortly before People confirmed their relationship, they were spotted attending a play together in London.
