Emma Stone and Husband Dave McCary’s Low-Key Romance: A Timeline

Emma Stone and husband Dave McCary kept their romance relatively under wraps before welcoming their first child in March 2021.

Stone previously dated Andrew Garfield, with whom she appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel. The costars were together for four years until Us Weekly confirmed in October 2015 that they had called it quits.

The next year, Stone hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time. At that point, McCary had been working behind-the-scenes at the NBC sketch comedy series for three seasons, having joined as a segment producer in 2013 alongside buddies Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett. The California native directed the Maniac actress in a digital short titled “Wells for Boys.”

Sparks seemingly flew between the two, but it wasn’t until October 2017 that their relationship was confirmed. Four months earlier, they were spotted leaving the premiere of Brigsby Bear, a comedy-drama directed by McCary and produced by Andy Samberg‘s The Lonely Island.

By December 2019, the pair were engaged. Us broke the news in January 2021 that Stone was pregnant, several months after the couple quietly tied the knot.

A source exclusively told Us that McCary gave his wife “all his energy and love” throughout her pregnancy, adding, “He caters to her left and right and treats her like a true queen, which she deserves.”
