Andrew Garfield gained tremendous recognition as Peter Parker in the Spider-Man films. Since then, the media have regularly reported on his alleged relationships.

Does Andrew Garfield rule out a relationship with a man?

It all started in 2017 when Andrew Garfield appeared in the adaptation of Tony Kushner's play "Angels in America," in which he played a gay character. During its promotion, he made a rather unexpected confession.

"Every Sunday I would have eight friends over and we would just watch RuI mean every single series of RuPaul's Drag Race. I mean every series. This is my life outside of this play. I am a gay man right now, just without the physical act—that's all," he confessed at a press conference.

This caused a huge controversy among his fans as well as the LGBT+ community. However, the actor quickly clarified his statement, cutting off all speculation about his orientation.

"As far as I know, I am not a gay man. Maybe I'll have an awakening later in my life, which I'm sure will be wonderful and I'll get to explore that part of the garden, but right now I'm secluded to my area, which is wonderful, as well," he noted.

Andrew Garfield's relationships

Andrew Garfield rarely speaks to the media about his private life. In everyday life, he shuns the limelight and avoids industry events. However, it is known that he was in a relationship with Emma Stone years ago.

The pair met on the set of "The Amazing Spider-Man". According to many, there was chemistry between them almost immediately. The interested parties themselves also spoke about it in interviews.

Unfortunately, their feelings did not stand the test of time. However, the couple remained on friendly terms.

In 2021, there was much talk about his relationship with model Alyssa Miller. The couple, however, broke up less than a year later. Who is the actor dating now? According to "People" magazine, in March 2024, paparazzi caught him on a date with psychic Kate Thomas. Neither of them has spoken about it in the media.
