The biggest and most recent proof of their extraordinary bond came on January 5, 2025, at the Golden Globe Awards. The event, which saw Emma Stone win a major award for her performance in *Poor Things*, became an instant viral moment when she and Andrew Garfield crossed paths.
The two former partners were photographed sharing a warm, genuine embrace and a lengthy conversation, both smiling widely.

The interaction was completely devoid of awkwardness, showcasing the maturity of their respective relationships and the fact that their friendship is fully supported by their current partners.
This public display of affection and mutual respect immediately trended across social media, with fans praising them as the gold standard for friendly celebrity exes. It was a powerful statement that their history is a source of joy, not tension.
2. The Truth About Andrew’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Lie
One of the most talked-about moments in their post-relationship history involves a massive Hollywood secret: Andrew Garfield’s return as Peter Parker in 2021’s *Spider-Man: No Way Home*.
Garfield was notoriously secretive about his cameo, lying to everyone, including his former co-star and ex-girlfriend, Emma Stone. Stone, who played Gwen Stacy, revealed in a later interview that Garfield had lied directly to her about his involvement in the film.
Her reaction, however, wasn't one of anger, but amusement. She confirmed that when she saw the film, she texted him, playfully calling him out for the deception. This anecdote perfectly illustrates their dynamic: a close, playful, and trusting relationship where even a high-stakes lie about the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be quickly forgiven and laughed off.
3. Emma’s Rare and Honest Comments on Working with Her Ex
Despite their enduring friendship, both actors rarely speak about the specifics of their time together. However, Emma Stone made a rare and candid comment about filming the *Amazing Spider-Man* movies with Andrew Garfield in a recent interview.
She described the experience as incredibly positive, acknowledging that the professional environment was enriched by their personal connection. Stone’s comments emphasized the deep trust and collaborative spirit they shared, which translated directly into the beloved chemistry between Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker.
This insight confirms what many fans suspected: the emotional depth and palpable connection on screen were rooted in a genuine, loving relationship. Her willingness to discuss it years later highlights that she holds no regret or bitterness about their past.
4. Their History of Public Support at Award Shows
The 2025 Golden Globes was not the first time their friendship stole the show at a major awards ceremony. Their history of public support is well-documented and often tear-jerking for fans.
- 2017 Golden Globes: When Emma Stone won her first Golden Globe for *La La Land*, Andrew Garfield was famously the first person to stand up and give her a thunderous standing ovation, beaming with pride from his seat.
- 2017 BAFTAs: The two were photographed sharing a hug and a conversation at the British Academy Film Awards, further cementing their status as supportive friends.
- 2023 *Poor Things* Premiere: At the London premiere of *Poor Things*, a viral video captured Stone spotting Garfield in the audience. Her face lit up with a huge, unmistakable smile—a small, spontaneous moment that proved the joy their connection brings.
5. Andrew and Emma Are Both Happily Committed to New Partners in 2025
The final, and perhaps most important, detail is that both Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have moved on to new, healthy, and committed relationships, which is the foundation that allows their friendship to thrive.
Emma Stone is happily married to Dave McCary, a writer and director whom she met while hosting *Saturday Night Live*. They keep their family life private but are clearly a strong, supportive unit.
Andrew Garfield, after a period of high-profile romances, is now reportedly dating his *A Complete Unknown* co-star, Monica Barbaro. Their relationship is described as low-key, but the public sightings confirm he has found a new partner as he navigates his highly successful career following his Oscar-nominated role in *Tick, Tick... Boom!*
Their ability to co-exist, celebrate each other's successes, and share a friendly moment on the red carpet—even with their current partners present—is the ultimate proof that their love story evolved, rather than ended. It’s a rare and beautiful example of maturity in Hollywood, ensuring that the legacy of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy remains one of genuine affection.
