Last night, Monica Barbaro attended her first Academy Awards as a nominee, and boyfriend Andrew Garfield was with her at the ceremony. The new couple didn’t pose together, however, likely to keep the spotlight on their careers. Fans noted they arrived at the same time though.
They also weren’t photographed interacting during the ceremony or at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. But the couple did leave the party together:
At the ceremony, Barbaro wore a blush pink sleeveless Dior gown, while Garfield was in a brown suit by Gucci.
Barbaro was up for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her work in A Complete Unknown, which she lost to Emilia Pérez’s Zoe Saldaña. Garfield, meanwhile, was a presenter with Goldie Hawn. Barbaro was seen having a moment with Ariana Grande during the ceremony:
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Garfield posed with Jesse Eisenberg on the red carpet:
Barbaro was seen socializing with co-star Timothée Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. She wore a silver Dolce & Gabbana dress:
People reported Barbaro and Garfield were dating on February 21. A source said, “They’ve been really low-key and have been spending time together quietly.”
When Oscar nominations were announced, Barbaro told Variety that earning an individual nod was a total surprise. “I’m in London right now, and I was mid-fitting with costume designer Jenny Eagan,” she said. “She kept refreshing her phone, and I was like, ‘I don’t want to know anything.’ I looked at my phone and fell on the floor. I’m elated. This is surreal.”
When asked who she would bring as a plus one, Barbaro responded, “I have no idea. This is the first time I’ve even thought about it. I’m an actor, and I’m just excited to be working. I don’t get plus ones to these things—or to parties.”
Barbaro and Garfield were first seen together in January at W magazine’s Best Performances party in Los Angeles. Prior to tonight, they were most recently spotted on February 20, attending a performance of Jonathan Bailey’s Richard II in London.
