Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro are dating.

“They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly,” a source tells PEOPLE of the We Live in Time actor, 41, and the A Complete Unknown actress, 34.

Reps for Garfield and Barbaro did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.

The two posed together at W Magazine’s annual Best Performances party in Los Angeles on Jan. 4, alongside Eddie Redmayne and Lynn Hirschberg.

Barbaro and Garfield were more recently spotted sitting side by side in the audience during a performance of Richard II at the Bridge Theatre on London’s West End, starring Jonathan Bailey.

In a video posted on social media Thursday, Feb. 20, the pair, who were dressed casually, including in baseball caps, could be seen chatting before the show began.

Garfield was most recently known to be in a relationship with spiritual reader Kate Tomas. The two were first linked in March 2024 but had split “months” before Tomas revealed in October that they were no longer together.

Garfield was previously linked to his Amazing Spider-Man costar Emma Stone in the 2010s. In late 2021, he began dating model Alyssa Miller, but the two broke up by April 2022, a source told PEOPLE at the time.

During an interview with Esquire in October 2024, the Oscar-nominated Tick, Tick … Boom! actor made it clear he has no interest in sharing details of his personal life and romantic relationships with the public.

“I have never, and I won’t ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever,” Garfield said.

Barbaro, who is also known for her role in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, currently stars as a young Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, opposite Timothée Chalamet as the legendary musician.

Her role as the real-life Baez earned Barbaro her first-ever Academy Award nod this year, in the category of Best Supporting Actress.

After the nominations announcement on Jan. 23, the actress recalled to PEOPLE of her Top Gun costars, “Our group chat just blew up.”

Barbaro played Navy pilot Lt. Natasha “Phoenix” Trace in the Tom Cruise-starring sequel from director Joseph Kosinski, alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Ed Harris, Val Kilmer and more. 

“That was really exciting,” she added to PEOPLE of her costars’ reaction to her success. “They’re just super supportive and thrilled.”
