Emma Stone, known for her guarded approach to personal matters, opened up in a rare moment of candor about her experience working with ex-boyfriend Andrew Garfield. In an interview with People published on August 15, 2025, the Oscar-winning actress described their time filming The Amazing Spider-Man series as “a special time in my life,” sparking a wave of nostalgia among fans. The comment, brief but heartfelt, has reignited interest in the pair’s on-screen chemistry and their past romance.
Stone, 36, and Garfield, 41, starred as Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker in the 2012 and 2014 Spider-Man films, a period when their real-life relationship also blossomed. The couple, who dated from 2010 to 2015, became a fan favorite for their authentic portrayal of the iconic comic-book romance. Stone’s recent reflection, shared during a press event for her latest project, highlighted how the experience shaped her career. “It was a moment of growth, both as an actor and as a person,” she told People, keeping details sparse but poignant.
Social media, particularly on X, lit up with fans reminiscing about the duo’s chemistry. One user posted, “Emma talking about Andrew is giving me all the feels. Their Spider-Man era was everything.” Another wrote, “She’s so private, so this means something. Respect to both for keeping it classy.” The outpouring reflects the enduring love for their work together, with many fans calling for a future collaboration.
Stone’s comments come as she promotes a new indie drama, while Garfield is fresh off his acclaimed performance in We Live in Time. Both actors have maintained a respectful distance when discussing their past, making Stone’s remarks all the more significant. The actress, who rarely speaks about her personal life, including her marriage to Dave McCary and their daughter, used the moment to focus on professional gratitude rather than personal details.
As 2025 marks a decade since their breakup, Stone’s reflection serves as a reminder of the magic they brought to the screen. While a reunion project seems unlikely, fans continue to hold out hope.
