**Andrew Garfield Maintains Silence on Personal Life Amidst Rumours of Romance with Monica Barbaro**
Andrew Garfield has once again reaffirmed his decision to keep his romantic relationships and personal life private. In a recent interview with Esquire U.K., the 43-year-old actor stated he has no intention of discussing his personal affairs, a sentiment he previously expressed in a 2024 interview.
Garfield is currently promoting several projects, including the film *The Uprising*, the upcoming *Artificial*, and the Apple TV series *Wild Things*. When probed about his personal life, Garfield responded firmly, “I’ll say it on the record: it’s not something I will ever talk about.” This declaration echoes his earlier remarks to American Esquire, where he firmly stated, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.”
Since February 2025, Garfield has been linked to actress Monica Barbaro. The pair were reportedly spotted together at a theatre in London, which set off speculation about their relationship. Despite the ongoing conjecture, neither Garfield nor Barbaro has publicly confirmed their romance. Barbaro, 36, has been present at various public events alongside Garfield, which has further fuelled fan interest in their connection.
The two actors will co-star in *Artificial*, a film based on the real-life technological company OpenAI and its influential CEO, Sam Altman. Garfield takes on the role of Altman, while Barbaro plays Mira Murati, the company’s then-chief technology officer. This professional collaboration has been met with excitement, particularly given the buzz surrounding their personal lives.
Despite maintaining his silence on romantic topics, Garfield hinted at a potential future shift in his stance. He mused about the possibility of discussing his personal life after reaching certain milestones. “Maybe if I’m married with kids and ten years into the relationship I might feel comfortable saying ‘my wife and my kids,’” he explained, yet he added, “But maybe f—ing not!”
In a nod to the proximity of their lives, the Esquire interview took place near where Barbaro was performing in a production of *Les Liaisons Dangereuses* in London. In previous interviews, Barbaro has also refrained from elaborating on her relationship with Garfield. However, she has expressed admiration for his acting skills, stating, “He’s one of the best actors of his generation.” Barbaro further revealed that working alongside Garfield compelled her to elevate her performance, saying, “Oh s—, I really have to step up my game and make sure I’m a proper, legitimate scene partner.”
Alongside Garfield and Barbaro, *Artificial* features a talented supporting cast, including Yura Borisov, Ike Barinholtz, Mark Rylance, and Jason Schwartzman. The movie, which delves into the cutting-edge world of artificial intelligence and its implications, is directed by Luca Guadagnino, with whom Garfield previously collaborated on *After the Hunt*.
As anticipation builds for *Artificial*, no specific release date has been announced. Meanwhile, Garfield’s other project, *The Uprising*, is set to hit cinemas on September 11, and details about the release of *Wild Things* are still pending.
While Garfield remains committed to keeping his personal life under wraps, the intrigue surrounding his relationship with Barbaro continues to resonate with fans. As both actors focus on their burgeoning careers, it appears that discussions surrounding their private lives will remain off the table, at least for the foreseeable future.
