﻿Emma Stone has a lucky way of finding love on set, but this time she’s not
linked to a fellow actor! After her highly publicized relationship with Andrew Garfield,
fans were dying to know about the actress’s love life! She met the director and screenwriter
Dave McCary in 2016 and they’ve been privately enjoying their life together! Since meeting Dave,
Emma’s goals and priorities have shifted from her career to being a doting wife and mom.
Before Emma Stone met Dave McCary, she had just gotten out of her highly-publicized
relationship with Andrew Garfield. As an on-and-off-screen couple,
the former pair were adored by many Marvel fans. A number of videos on YouTube are dedicated to their
love — like montages of cute moments accompanied by Ellie Goulding’s ‘Love Me Like You Do.’
Stone and Garfield were together for four years, and during those years fans were very attached
to their romance. The former lovebirds always looked so in love and happy together. We could
feel their connection from our screens! That’s why it hit so deep when the two broke up in 2015.
Fans' hearts bled for the former couple. Whenever pictured together Emma and Andrew looked so happy,
so in love. They broke up after realizing their priorities in life were different— Andrew wanted
to settle down and start a family, while Emma was still very focused on her career. It must have
been extremely difficult for both of them! After nursing her broken heart for a year,
the actress hosted the comedy TV show Saturday Night Live. She was featured in a sketch called
‘Wells for Boys,’ which McCary directed. As far as we know, that’s the first time the couple met.
Emma’s lover is highly accomplished and has made a name for himself in the business. Behind the
camera, Dave joined SNL alongside cast members Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett during the 39th
season in 2013. He's a writer, segment director, and co-founded a comedy troupe called ‘Good
Neighbor’ with Kyle, Bennet, and Nick Rutherford. Sparks seemingly flew between the two after
meeting on set, but they kept their connection on the down-low. After her experience with
highly publicized romances, the actress played the game differently this time; by staying
as far away from the public eye as possible. Well, as possible for an A-list celebrity.
Fans became aware of the budding romance when Emma was spotted leaving a film premiere with
Dave by her side. They recorded video footage of the lovebirds walking to a car together. While
it didn’t show any faces, the actress’s blonde locks were instantly recognizable in the clip.
That’s when rumors began circulating that she and the director are romantically involved.
Only about four months after the rumors began, tabloids confirmed the romance.
Even after the world learned about them being a couple, the two continued to keep things
private as their connection grew stronger. Then, suddenly, reports began circulating
that the couple had called it quits. They weren’t seen together for basically all of 2018. On top
of that, Emma was spotted out at dinner with her ex-boyfriend, Andrew. A source claimed
that the two looked very much like a couple — fuelling the Emma-Dave split rumors even more.
By the end of the year, the actress proved everyone wrong —- she’s just way more private now!
We got our first glance into her romance with Dave when the ‘La La Land’ star hosted a roller-skating
holiday party in December of the same year. According to a source for Us Weekly magazine,
she and Dave were smiling and giddy and were attached at the hip all night! “She whispered
in his ear and rubbed his back,” the insider said, adding, “They looked super close.”
After keeping their relationship very hush-hush for so long, the duo finally made an event
appearance together in 2019. They attended the 25th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards,
where Emma officially showed off her beau. The lovebirds didn’t walk the carpet together
because they wanted attention to be on the honored films, not their relationship. However,
they did share a table, where they talked and enjoyed each other’s company all evening.
They also attended the Oscars together, but walked the carpet separately like before. During the
'Best Supporting Actress' presentation, McCary looked SO happy to hype up his girlfriend.
As time went on, we hardly saw much of the pair. It’s still like that now, to be honest. However,
it was reported that the actress and director moved in together — they both
knew they had finally found their person. Occasionally, paparazzi would catch the two
on a date, letting us know the love is still alive and well! One of their favorite couple activities
is to watch sports games together. Emma and Dave are fans of the San Diego Padres baseball team.
On more than one occasion, they were spotted at Padres games together wearing
matching merch! They’re just too adorable! By April of 2019, Stone was spotted wearing a very
classy diamond ring on her left hand, sparking rumors, of course. Did she and McCary secretly
tie the knot? Or were they just engaged? Fans were freaking out and dying to know!
Unlike his flame, Dave is quite active on Instagram, which was where he shared the
news that he and Emma were, in fact, engaged! He posted a photo of them smiling while the
actress held her hand to show off her ring. The caption simply had the two hearts emoji.
The photo was a little blurry, and the caption was vague, but the message was still loud and clear!
Stone and McCary had decided to build a life together, and fans were ecstatic! On
the heels of their engagement news, a source told People Magazine that they also got a
home together in Malibu over the summer. The couple reportedly got engaged at the
SNL offices in New York City. A source told Page Six that he decided to ask
her to spend forever with him in the very first place they met — romantic, right?
The insider went on to talk about the couple's connection. “Dave is a super
down-to-earth guy. Most of his best friends are people he’s known since he was a kid,
and he’s not affected by Hollywood. He’s very creative and funny, and he and Emma share the
same sense of adventure,” the source shared. Sadly, the pandemic halted the couple’s Las Vegas
wedding plans. But, as we expected, the lack of a guest-filled ceremony didn’t stop these
lovebirds from secretly getting married. Emma first sparked speculation about becoming
a wife when she was interviewed by Reese Witherspoon. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the star
had swapped her diamond ring for a gold band. Adding to the speculation was Stone’s interaction
with psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz. “If you marry an anxious man, you’re going to have to know me
the rest of my life,” he told the actress. She replied: “Thankfully, I didn’t do that.” It was SO
telling! Though, it still wasn’t a confirmation. A little later, fans noticed that Dave and Emma
were wearing matching rings! By September 2020, it was undeniable that the couple had
gotten married. According to reports, they tied the knot in a super-secret ceremony.
Then, for a while, the couple continued being super low-key and were hardly seen. By March 2021,
tabloids found out that Stone and McCary were pregnant! Although, it wasn’t through
some announcement or discreet hints. By the time we had found out that the
couple was expecting, the actress was REALLY pregnant. Paparazzi had caught her out and
about with a large baby bump, indicating their little bundle of joy would be born soon!
Days later, the two welcomed their first child together.
As we’ve established: Emma and Dave are a very private couple! Tabloids may have learned that the
actress gave birth to a baby girl, but up until now, the parents have never let their daughter
be caught in the media or the public eye. Emma spoke to Jennifer Lawrence for ELLE
magazine in 2018 about her hope to become a mother in her 30s. "My perspective about kids has changed
as I’ve gotten older," she told her friend. "I never babysat or anything. As a teenager,
I was like, I’m never getting married, I’m never having kids. And then I got older and I was like,
I really want to get married, I really want to have kids,” the star added.
A source gave insight into the couple’s relationship shortly after their baby arrived.
“They are a very grounded and private couple and were ready for a family,” the insider said.
The source also explained that Stone is close to her family and good friends, but
is not the type to flaunt her personal life. Dave respects that about her and feels the same way,
which is why we don’t hear or see much about their life. “They have a great life together
and support each other,” the insider added. Other sources reported that having a baby has
brought the couple closer in a way they never expected.
In 2021, Emma once gave a rare insight into motherhood while promoting her movie ‘Cruella.’
The actress explained that being with her child in lockdown was very exciting! “I feel lucky
with what lockdown has been, but it has been an insane year,” she said. However, the star gave no
other comments. She keeps things professional and focuses her interviews on her work and career.
Since meeting on the set of SNL, Emma Stone, and Dave McCary have built a beautiful,
albeit very quiet, life together. Younger Emma might not believe it! The couple continue to enjoy
each other’s company and raise their daughter privately. We’ll still catch them wearing matching
clothes at a Padres game, courtside at an NBA match, or just headed out for a date night.
