NEED TO KNOW
- Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro have been linked since February 2025
- Barbaro is an actress who was nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown
- The couple were spotted holding hands at Wimbledon in July 2025
Months after they were seen together in public for the first time, Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro are still going strong.
The couple were spotted holding hands at Wimbledon on July 6, wearing coordinating all-white Ralph Lauren outfits at the All England Tennis and Croquet Club.
Garfield and Barbaro were first linked in February 2025 after fans saw them in the audience of a London play. That same month, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the A Complete Unknown actress and the We Live in Time actor were dating.
They’ve since been photographed doing everything from attending Hollywood parties to running errands together. However, neither of the actors have confirmed their romance — and Garfield might not be doing so anytime soon.
The actor has spoken in multiple interviews about his “right” to maintain some level of privacy in his life off-screen. However, he has revealed what he finds “beautiful” about monogamous relationships.
“If you’re in a committed monogamous relationship, there’s something very beautiful about the sacrifice of other possibilities,” he told Bustle in 2021. “You make that connection sacred and it intensifies the joy of it and the specialness of it.”
So who is Andrew Garfield’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Oscar-nominated actress Monica Barbaro and her relationship with the actor.
She is an actress
Barbaro is a star in her own right, having appeared in movies like Top Gun: Maverick and TV shows including Chicago P.D.
One of her most notable recent roles was playing singer Joan Baez in 2024’s A Complete Unknown, though perfecting the star’s musical chops was a challenge for her, she told Harper’s Bazaar in a December 2024 interview.
“I was not a singer, and she sang in keys that I could not sing in and, I had never even really tried vibrato,” she said. “She just was at a skill level that was a bit daunting to me and then also playing guitar. So just all of the music I think was the most challenging prospect.”
She and Garfield are also set to star in the upcoming movie Artificial together.
She has a background in ballet
Before deciding to pursue acting, Barbaro was a dancer, graduating from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2010. She has said that she hopes to put her dance background to good use in one of her future roles.
“I’ve been itching to do a film where dance plays a central role,” she said during an appearance on Variety‘s Awards Circuit podcast in December 2024. “Dance is such a huge part of who I am, and I want to find a project that integrates it before I get too ‘geriatric.’ ”
She and Garfield were first linked in February 2025
Over a month after they posed together alongside Eddie Redmayne and Lynn Hirschberg at W Magazine’s annual Best Performances party in Los Angeles, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the stars were together.
“They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly,” the source said in February 2025.
That same month, a fan posted a video that showed the pair sitting next to each other during Jonathan Bailey’s performance of Richard II at a theater in London.
Most recently, they were seen together at Wimbledon in July 2025.
They’ve been spotted together a number of times
Though they haven’t publicly confirmed their relationship, Garfield and Barbaro have been spotted spending time together multiple times.
After the 2025 Oscars — where Barbaro received her first-ever nomination for her portrayal of Baez in A Complete Unknown — they were seen walking into an afterparty in L.A. thrown by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
A few weeks later, the couple were spotted at a grocery store in Malibu, Calif. DeuxMoi shared photos on Instagram that featured Garfield and Barbaro wearing baseball caps while running errands.
He supported her after the 2025 Met Gala
Barbaro made her Met Gala debut in May 2025. Though Garfield, who hasn’t attended the fashion event since 2019, didn’t walk the red carpet with her, video footage captured by Cosmopolitan showed him waiting for Barbaro outside The Mark Hotel in New York City.
In the video, the casually dressed Hacksaw Ridge star gives Barbaro a hug before escorting her out of the hotel.
At the gala, the actress wore a recreation of a 1947 New Look design by Dior, per Harper’s Bazaar. When she met up with Garfield, she had changed into a black tulle Dior dress.
Garfield has said that he’ll “never” speak publicly about his personal life
In a 2024 interview with Esquire, the Oscar-nominated Tick, Tick … Boom! actor revealed that he has no plans to talk publicly about who he is or isn’t dating. Garfield said, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.”
He made similar statements to Bustle three years earlier about his love life, saying that he’ll “fight” for his “right for a private, personal life.”
“My right to be ordinary,” Garfield said. “My right to be a mess. My right to be sorrowful. My right to lose, to get it wrong, to be stupid, to be a person.”
