Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro Shine at Met Gala 2023

NEW YORK CITY, NY — Actors Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro attended the Met Gala events this weekend, although the couple chose not to make their official debut together. Only Barbaro stepped onto the red carpet, marking her first appearance at the prestigious fashion event.

Barbaro impressed in a stunning Dior dress that aligned with the night’s theme. Her boyfriend, Garfield, reunited with her later in the evening but opted not to attend the ceremony.

A video of their reunion was shared on social media by Cosmopolitan, highlighting their affection. Garfield last attended the Met Gala in 2019, and his decision to stay away this year shows the couple’s preference for privacy regarding their relationship.

Both stars have made several joint appearances but have yet to be photographed on a red carpet together. They were recently spotted together in Japan and New York. Garfield is known for valuing his personal life and has expressed his desire to keep it out of the public eye. In an October interview, he stated, ‘I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.’

Barbaro also mentioned her decision to limit her social media use to focus on her work. Earlier this year, she explained that the buzz around her A Complete Unknown co-star, Timothée Chalamet, prompted her to delete social media to maintain her professional focus. ‘I had to tune it all out because we hadn’t even shot the film yet,’ she noted.

Both actors received Oscar nominations this year, indicating their rising prominence in Hollywood.
