Emma Stone Is Reportedly Dating 'SNL' Writer Dave McCary
Bad news, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield “shippers”: Emma’s got a new boyfriend, and there’s no Spidey suit in sight.
The La La Land star is dating Saturday Night Live writer and segment director Dave McCary, Page Six reports. The pair reportedly met when Emma hosted the show last December, and they attended the premiere of his film, Brigsby Bear, together in June, though no one seemed to notice they were together.
McCary isn’t the only SNL staffer who may be making an appearance on some Hollywood red carpets this year: Ben Affleck and Scarlett Johansson are also dating people they met during their own appearances on the show. According to Page Six, hosting SNL is apparently the “new Tinder.” Ha!
Even though it looks like any rekindling of the Stone/Garfield romance is officially off the table, the pair, who met while filming The Amazing Spiderman in 2012 and dated for three years, have managed to maintain a strong friendship in the years since their breakup. In August, Emma watched Andrew star in a performance of Angels in America in London, which fans took to mean that they were getting back together. Even though that apparently wasn’t the case, Emma has been very clear about the fact that Andrew is still someone she “loves very much.”
In true ex goals fashion, the support goes both ways. Earlier this year, Andrew visibly teared up while watching Emma receive the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in La La Land. In the past, he’s called himself Emma’s “biggest fan as an artist” and said that he is “constantly inspired by how she handles and holds herself.” He also noted that it’s been “bliss” to watch the successes she’s achieved throughout her career, and that it has been “wonderful to have that kind of support for each other,” calling it “nothing but a beautiful thing.”
The good news is, this means at least Andrew Garfield is still on the market.
