The awards season brought love to Andrew Garfield’s life. On February 21, people reported that they were on a “quiet” and “quiet” date with the entire unknown Monica Barbaro after being seen together in London.
The source told people “They were really reserved and they’ve been quietly spending their time together.” The actor’s representative did not respond to people’s requests for comment.
In October 2024, Garfield told Esquar that he was protecting his love life, so don’t expect to comment on dating rumors. “I will never talk to anyone about my personal life, confirm or deny it,” he said.
Garfield, 41, was finally romantically linked to spiritual advisor Dr. Kate Thomas. She confirmed that she would be disbanding on October 11, 2024.

Meanwhile, Barbaro is a 34-year-old rising star and has not spoken about her love life either. She touched on some off-screen relationships and told L’Offiel Australia in July 2023 that she had “a lovely community of friends. I’m hosting at my place, spending everyone on Sunday mornings, wearing PJs, hanging out, watching sports games and chats, and fortunately abandoning my friends and leaving town.
And in February 2025, she told Hollywood Authentic that attending events during the awards season can really “change the actor’s life.”
When she went to the 2023 Oscars with Top Gun: The Maverick Cast said, “I just kept hugging it. Look at it. I feel it.”
“One of the coolest things about being involved in that conversation is to have a sense of community in a space that is professionally intimidating,” she continued. “It was so exciting to be there and see people giving speeches and honouring their fellow candidates. They really honestly do so. It’s not a fake. It was so cool.”
