Andrew Garfield and Kate Tomas have ended their relationship.
Tomas confirmed in the comments of an Instagram post that she and the ‘We Live in Time’ actor, 41, had broken up “months ago.” When a fan asked if she was still dating Garfield and requested that she pass along their admiration for him, Tomas replied, “We broke up months ago, but I’m sure he will be happy to know he is loved.”
Reps for Garfield have yet to comment on the split. The two were first linked in March after being spotted holding hands during a double date with Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham. Garfield, known for his desire to keep his personal life private, has previously spoken about his boundaries regarding public attention on his relationships. In a 2021 interview with Bustle, he said, “For my work, I’m fine with [attention], but otherwise I fight for my right to a private, personal life.”

In a more recent interview with Esquire in October 2023, he reiterated his stance on not discussing his romantic life, stating, “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone.”
Garfield has had a few high-profile relationships in the past, including with his ‘Spider-Man’ co-star Emma Stone in the 2010s, and model Alyssa Miller, whom he dated until April 2022.

Tomas, a philosopher and spiritual reader, opened up in a July 2024 interview with The Sunday Times about the challenges of being in a public relationship. She spoke about the “misogynistic nature” of public interest in her relationship with Garfield, expressing frustration that a woman’s accomplishments are often overshadowed by her relationship status. Tomas also criticised the scrutiny she faced from paparazzi and the media, especially regarding her appearance and career.
