Andrew Garfield Tells Why He Won’t Share His Love Life With Anybody
Andrew Garfield is effectively avoiding questions regarding his love life.
The After the Hunt actor—who was rumored to be dating the A Complete Unknown actress Monica Barbaro since February—mentioned that he has been increasingly protective of his privacy, especially when it comes to dating.
“It really feels like a kind of destruction of my inner world, my very private world,” Andrew told Vanity Fair in an interview that was published on Nov. 18. “I thought perhaps it would become easier at some point but I’m very shocked to say that it hasn’t.”
And though he has been seeing with a little luck—like a trip to the West End in February and after partying at an Oscars with Barbaro—he sets up a strong boundary in not talking about it.
“I have never, and I will never, talk about my personal life with anyone, or confirm, or deny anything to anyone,” he told Esquire last October. “Never.”
Andrew Garfield Mulls Over Idea That He Opened Too Much About Emma Stone Romance
However, Andrew Garfield was significantly more willing to share his details of the relationship with ex-costar Emma Stone, a relationship that lasted from 2011 to 2015. In a Vanity Fair interview, when the same person asked about the fan theory that La La Land is a reflection of their romance, he only said, “I suppose people need something to believe in.”
During the time when they were acting as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Andrew didn’t hesitate to Emma’s abilities publicly like he just did to Zendaya when he said she was the one who was raising Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in their Spider-Man era.
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone Remember Their Spider-Man Days with Love
“The spirit that Zendaya brings to MJ is so heartfelt and pure and loving,” Andrew Garfield told Variety in 2022. “Emma brought that similar unique spirit to Gwen.”
Emma Stone—who is the mother of daughter Louise, 4, and is married to Dave McCary—has also had a look back with love on their time as costars and partners.
“I mean I really loved doing Spider-Man,” she told Vogue in August. “I loved everyone I worked with. I met Andrew there. It was a really special time in my life.”
More celebrity couples who fell in love while filming
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
After a romp with Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams on set, Ryan Gosling didn’t take long to fall for Eva Mendes while filming The Place Beyond the Pines. The two have been remarkably secretive about their love since the year 2013 when they started dating.
Besides, they have two little girls Esmeralda and Amada, and Mendes has opened up how being with Ryan Gosling changed her perspective of motherhood. “I never really wanted kids until I fell in love with Ryan,” said the New York & Company designer during an interview with Sydney’s Nova 96.9 in October 2020, and she also revealed that after she had been “working her butt off for 20 years,” she made a “turn to family” in her 40s.
As far as playing together again is concerned, she doesn’t rule it out. “I really want to work with Ryan again,” she told E! News, praising him as “an incredible director” and describing the time as “so creatively fulfilling.”
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton
While they were coaches on The Voice, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton got to know each other. They started dating in November 2015 and after divorces from their spouses, they found comfort in each other. “Gwen saved my life,” Shelton told Billboard, pointing out that no one else could understand that kind of heartbreak.
Among the five years they spent together, he popped the question in October 2020 and they tied the knot in a small July 2021 ceremony. Carson Daly, who officiated, referred to the wedding as “a perfect blend of country and glamour,” saying it was as “elegant and refined and cool as Gwen” and as “country and down-home and fun as Blake.” He likened their relationship to “fried chicken with a glass of champagne” – surprising if you think about it, but totally compatible.

How Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Literally “Twin Flames”
After a quiet separation from her husband Brian Austin Green, father of their three children, in late 2019 after nine years of marriage, Fox decided to refer Machine Gun Kelly as her “twin flame” meaning that they were beyond soulmates. The two didn’t hide their love: Fox was in Kelly’s music video, they got tattoos to commemorate their love and made their red carpet debut as a couple before getting engaged in January 2022.
As a matter of fact, they broke up but co-parenting daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker whom they welcomed in March 2025. “Megan is a great mom,” MGK said in a June 2025 episode of Today. “She’s doing an awesome job. I’m really happy.”

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie
It seems that just like Jon Snow, Harington couldn’t help but fall for Rose Leslie. After she joined the cast of the series in season two, Kit couldn’t be more than happy to work with her. Among all their Game of Thrones shoots, he singled out the filming of their episodes in Iceland as his favorite memory of the show.
“Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love,” he told Vogue Italia. “If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.”
Harington and Leslie’s characters were a doomed couple, but in real life, the two tied the knot in June 2018 and are now parents of two children, whom they affectionately keep away from the public eye.

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song got together while filming Changeland in 2019, and even their director Seth Green was thrown off by the news of their real-life romance saying to Esquire, “I didn’t see that one coming.”
Song tellingly revealed to Entertainment Tonight that they connected through their identical journey of being child actors. “You just look each other in the eye and you nod and we know,” she said.
The pair who have been engaged since 2022, are parents to two children: Dakota Song Culkin and Carson Song Culkin.
Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos
While playing tumultuous exes Billie and Brad—one of the most notable on-screen chemistry—Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos of Netflix’s Sex/Life, off-screen also hooked up and went public with their relationship in December 2020. Their affectionate social media posts were quickly embraced by fans.
It was like they couldn’t help but mix love and work which came very naturally to them. Shahi told E! News that working with her boyfriend was “one of her favorite things,” and she referred to Demos as one of her “all-time favorite scene partners.” “With him, it’s just that easy,” she said. “I just have to look at him and 99 percent of my work is done for me… It just created that extra bit that seeped through the lens.”
Yet, in April 2025, there were rumors about their break-up.

Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman
It was a heartbreaking love story of Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman characters in ABC’s Revenge, but thankfully, their off-screen one has been just the opposite. After VanCamp and Bowman met while shooting the drama series, they decided to date and after years of dating, the duo become husband and wife on Dec 15, 2018. They have been together for more than a decade.
They first became parents to a baby girl named Iris in August 2021. “Welcome to the world our sweet little Iris,” VanCamp wrote on Instagram. “Our hearts are full.” The family of the two stars extended again in March 2024 when daughter Rio Rose was born.
Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese
What happened in the show eventually translated into real life as well, the hunter fell for the demon who was out of his control—both on and off screen.
Padalecki and Cortese got together when she came in to Supernatural as Ruby in the fourth season. And after a quick two-month engagement, they got married in her hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho, in 2010
, with his TV bro Jensen Ackles being one of the groomsmen.
After the couple, who co-starred again in the CW’s Walker with Cortese as the character’s dead wife in flashbacks, had three children, sons Thomas, Austin, and daughter Odette.

Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin
Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin’s romance offscreen is a reflection of their characters in Once Upon a Time, Prince Charming and Snow White. The costars fell in love during the ABC fantasy hit, and Dallas told People in 2012, “It hit me like a blinding light. I thought, ‘I’m in trouble now.’”
Goodwin recalled that she knew he was “the one” at their very first date at Disneyland. As she later told Kelly Ripa, they were riding Big Thunder Mountain when Dallas yelled, “This is the best day of my life,” and that made her think, “We’re totally getting married.”
He asked her to marry him in October 2013, and they tied the knot in April 2014. The couple are parents of two boys, Oliver and Hugo, and after their six-year run on OUAT, Dallas has expressed his desire to work with Goodwin again.
Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys
For Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, it wasn’t love at first sight—at least not one they acted on. “We actually met a very long long time ago,” Rhys shared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I very drunkenly asked her for her number when she was a young, single, slip of a thing…when I was 26.”
About a decade later, while playing married KGB spies on FX’s The Americans, the pair quietly began dating in 2014. They welcomed their first child together, son Sam, in May 2016. Russell is also mom to son River and daughter Willa from her previous marriage to Shane Deary.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn met for the first time on the set of 1968’s The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band but didn’t really start their relationship until they met again to film 1984’s Swing Shift. Hawn told BBC News, “We both said we would never go out with another actor.” They also appeared together in the 1988 rom-com Overboard and, lately, as Santa and Mrs. Claus in Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles.
They have been partners for more than 40 years and are parents to son Wyatt Russell. Besides, each of them has children from their past relationships: Oliver and Kate Hudson for Hawn and Boston Russell for Kurt.
When asked the secret of their successful collaboration, Russell jokingly replied to E! News, “Do it every 33 years, first of all!”
Wyatt Russell and Meredith Hagner
Just like the stars in the sky, they are the stars in the family.
Wyatt Russell—an offspring of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn—seduced Miranda Hagner after they met at the set of the 2016 film Folk Hero & Funny Guy. The couple later came back together for a film Ingrid Goes West.
After tying the knot in 2018, a year later they got married at Goldie’s place in Aspen. “It was Western themed and everyone came in cowboy hats and boots,” said a source to E! News, describing it as a relaxed, weekend-long party with the nearest and dearest.
Russell and Hagner are the proud parents of a first son, Buddy Prine Russell, born last November 2021, and later, in February 2024, his younger brother, Boone Joseph Russell.

Kate Mara and Jamie Bell
One of the few positives to come from the heavily criticized 2015 Fantastic Four reboot was the real-life romance of Kate Mara and Jamie Bell. The two got together while shooting the superhero flick and for the first time, dating rumors were ignited when they were seen holding hands at a Met Gala after-party in May 2015.
Their wedding took place in July 2017, and Bell later sharing the news with E! News, “It feels like we’ve been married for years. In the best way. We’re having a great time.”
On Instagram, Mara in May 2019, posting a photo of a tiny foot and writing, “We had a baby a couple of weeks ago…” Later, in November 2022, she let people know about their second child exactly in the same manner: “Had a baby a week ago. Here are his feet.” Jamie Bell is also a father to son Jack Bell, who is with his ex-wife Evan Rachel Wood.

Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara
It’s not only Kate Mara whose heart was won while filming. Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara were first hit the screen brilliantly with their characters’ relationship in the 2013 Oscar-nominated Her and then came together again in the 2018 biblical dramedy Mary Magdalene. The previous year while shooting in Italy, they reportedly found themselves falling in love.
They are a couple who do not reveal much about their personal life and hence, it was at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival that they decided to show themselves together for the first time and in 2019, they got engaged quietly. Phoenix was on his Joker Oscars emotional acceptance speech, and among tears, he told Mara, “I love you,” and wiped them away.”
In September 2020, the director Victor Kossakovsky unveiled at the Zurich Film Festival that the couple was blessed with a son named River. Probably, it’s a tribute to Joaquin’s late brother, River Phoenix, who passed away in 1993 at the age of 23.
Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison
Yellowstone fans were over the moon when costars Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison confirmed their romance in April 2022, sharing a fiery Instagram photo of the pair kissing in front of an open flame. Bingham captioned it, “More than a spark,” while Harrison replied, “I love you, cowboy.”
Their on-set chemistry has since turned into a real-life happily-ever-after, as the duo now continue to ride together as husband and wife.

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer
The couple bit into love, in fact, love at first bite was their thing, they started dating while filming the first season of HBO’s True Blood in 2008.
During an interview with E! News in 2009, Moyer said, “There is no one I would rather work with. I love working with her and that’s how it all started, by falling in love on camera.”
They engaged a year later and later got married in August 2010. Moyer and Paquin became parents to twins, Poppy and Charlie, in 2012.

Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen
Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen were not in the search of love when they met while filming Pontiac Moon in 1993. “I told all my friends—not in a melodramatic way, but very seriously—that I was done with relationships,” Steenburgen said to Closer. But as they were acting, a new romance grew between them, Danson remembering that it was during a canoe scene that they really connected. “We paddled in sync,” he recalled. “We went out as friends and by the time we came back, we were in love.”
Two years later, they tied the knot and in October 2020, they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. “I love him beyond reason,” Steenburgen exclaimed, referring to him as “incessantly interesting” and saying that he is the one who always makes her laugh. Danson, in the same interview, also shared, “I feel nervous when I am with her because I want to impress her—I’m the luckiest.”

Grace Van Patten and Jackson White
After bingeing Hulu’s Tell Me Lies, many people were asking if Grace Van Patten and Jackson White had an amazing kind of chemistry between them that was carried over in real life. Both of them in the interviews and on social media acted like they were taking a joke and making it bigger by doing more of the guessing there. They finally confirmed that they were a couple, but without the toxicity of their characters.
White was the one who really wanted to show their relationship to the world and so he shared some photobooth snaps from the 2022 CFDA Awards where one of the pictures was of the costars kissing. After that, he made the situation even more intense by uploading the picture of them licking each other’s faces and writing, “if we kiss can we get a s2 @hulu.”
Just so you know: it didn’t fail.
