Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro just made their second-ever red carpet appearance—or, at least, they almost did. The couple both appeared at the LACMA Gala in Los Angeles on November 7, where they were pictured chatting together before they posed side by side, but separately, on the red carpet.

The Complete Unknown actress opted for a striking bright white gown with long sleeves and a swooping backless design, which she paired with statement diamond earrings. Meanwhile, Garfield wore a black satin suit with a pink flower in his lapel, along with a black shirt.

After the red carpet, the pair were pictured sitting side by side and holding hands while chatting to Salma Hayek.

Garfield and Barbaro made a subtle red carpet debut last month while posing together at the premiere of their film Artificial, in which Garfield plays OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Barbaro plays Mira Murati, the chief technology officer of the company.

“She’s a wonderful actor,” Garfield said to Entertainment Tonight of Barbaro’s performance in the film. “She’s so talented I’ve been a fan of hers for so long and she brings this kind of mysterious enigma of a person in this film to life in such a […] complex and human way. And I can say that about all of this cast.”

Garfield and Barbaro were first linked after being spotted together in London. In February 2025, People reported that they had been “quietly” dating. “They’ve been really low-key and have been spending time together quietly,” said the source.

Since then, they’ve been spotted on a few low-key public outings. In May 2025, Barbaro met up with Garfield after she made a solo appearance at the 2025 Met Gala in a black-and-white Christian Dior dress. That summer, they made an appearance at Wimbledon in matching tennis whites. They returned to the tennis championships in 2026, then, in August, Garfield quietly supported Barbaro at the New York premiere of her film One Night Only, making an appearance at the after-party.

Back in 2024, Garfield explained to Esquire that he is careful to keep his relationships out of the public eye. “I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever,” he said.
