Hollywood is buzzing with fresh romance speculation as Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro were spotted leaving an Oscars after-party together, fueling rumors that the two might be secretly dating. While neither actor has confirmed any romantic involvement, their behavior suggested they were trying to keep something under wraps—especially with the way they avoided paparazzi attention.
Following the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, the real action often takes place at the exclusive after-parties, where celebrities let loose away from the public eye. This year, Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro were among the A-listers attending these high-profile events.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was not just their presence, but their quiet and strategic exit.
Sources say that Garfield and Barbaro slipped out of the venue together, seemingly making an effort to avoid being seen. They reportedly left through a side entrance rather than the main one, a move often used by celebrities who don’t want to be photographed together.
Witnesses also claimed that they left in the same car, further adding fuel to speculation that there’s more to their relationship than meets the eye.
Garfield, known for his roles in The Amazing Spider-Man and Tick, Tick… Boom!, has been linked to several high-profile women in the past, including Emma Stone and Alyssa Miller. Meanwhile, Monica Barbaro, who gained widespread recognition for her role in Top Gun: Maverick, has kept her romantic life relatively private.
Though the two have not publicly worked together on any major projects, their recent interactions suggest a deeper connection. Rumors started circulating months ago that Garfield and Barbaro had been spending time together privately, but their latest appearance has only intensified speculation.
One insider at the party claimed, “They weren’t overly affectionate in public, but there was definitely a chemistry between them. The fact that they chose to leave together, and so discreetly, speaks volumes.”
If there’s one thing Hollywood has taught us, it’s that when celebrities go out of their way to avoid being photographed together, there’s usually something to hide. In this case, Garfield and Barbaro’s deliberate decision to dodge the cameras has only made the rumor mill spin faster.
Over the past few weeks, both stars have managed to keep a low profile regarding their personal lives, which now seems even more suspicious. Some fans have even pointed out that neither has been seen publicly dating anyone recently—perhaps because they’ve been seeing each other in secret.
Adding to the mystery, Garfield was spotted looking around cautiously as they left the party, as if making sure no photographers were around. Meanwhile, Barbaro kept her head down, trying to remain unnoticed. Such moves are common among celebrity couples who want to keep their romance private before going public.
If this is indeed a budding romance, it wouldn’t be the first time Andrew Garfield has kept his dating life away from the public eye. After his high-profile relationship with Emma Stone, Garfield became increasingly private about his love life.
His relationship with model Alyssa Miller was only confirmed after months of speculation, and even then, they remained low-key.
Similarly, Monica Barbaro has never been one to flaunt her personal relationships, preferring to keep things professional in the public eye. This makes the idea of a secret romance between them even more intriguing.
While neither Garfield nor Barbaro has addressed the rumors, fans are already buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a new Hollywood couple. Some believe they are still in the early stages of their relationship and are waiting for the right moment to make things official.
Others think they might be trying to test the waters privately before facing the inevitable media frenzy that comes with a high-profile romance.
For now, their evasive tactics have only made the speculation stronger. But as history has shown, secret Hollywood relationships don’t stay secret for long. If Garfield and Barbaro truly are an item, it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
