Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield had a romance that could only be made in Hollywood.

The La La Land actress and Tick Tick Boom! actor first met when they were cast in The Amazing Spider-Man as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, respectively. Like their on-screen characters, the pair fell in love — and they were not the only Spider-Man actors to do so.

The couple dated for four years, during which they filmed another Spider-Man movie together and took their romance all around the world. Though they’ve since broken up and moved on — Stone is now married with a baby, and Garfield was most recently linked to model Alyssa Miller — they remain friends, and aren’t shy about discussing their affection for each other.

In 2016, Stone told Vogue that Garfield was “someone I still love very much.” Garfield echoed the sentiment the following year, telling Vanity Fair, “There’s so much love between us and so much respect. I’m her biggest fan as an artist.”

In the years since their 2015 split, the pair have been spotted cheering each other on at awards shows and catching up at star-studded Hollywood events.

From their on-screen romance turned real to remaining close post-split, here’s a look back at Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield’s relationship.
