How Emma Stone and Dave McCary, the Most Private Hollywood Couple, Spend Their Lives Together
Many celebrity couples try to hide their relationship, or at least not talk about the details to the press. But we can still learn from Emma Stone and Dave McCary. They are so protective of their relationship that the facts we know about it can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
They met at Saturday Night Live.
Actress Emma Stone met comedian Dave McCary in December 2016, when she was taking part in Saturday Night Live for the third time. Dave wrote a funny sketch “Wells for Boys,” and Emma was part of it.
Before that, the actress was in a long relationship with her partner in The Amazing Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield. They dated from 2010 to 2015, and they never commented on their romance, even though they appeared in public together. Emma uses the same approach in her relationship with Dave.
For a long time, they didn’t share any details about them.
Emma and Dave started dating in 2017. In June, they were first seen together at the premiere of Brigsby Bear, directed by McCary. Stone didn’t confirm she was there, but a fan shot a video of them walking together. Then, in October, a source close to the couple said that they had been dating for at least 3 months.
During that time, they didn’t attend any events. They made an appearance together only in January 2019 when they went to a basketball game. In the photos taken by the paparazzi, you can see them laughing and enjoying each other’s company. The next time they appeared somewhere together was at the SAG Awards. But the couple didn’t show any feelings, and you can see them together with actor Bradley Cooper in one of the few photos that exist.
They announced their engagement.
In April 2019, Emma was seen with a diamond ring on her finger. She didn’t comment on the rumors about the engagement. In August of that same year, she and Dave were seen on a romantic date in Santa Monica. Emma had an elegant ring on her left hand. Finally, Dave decided to break the silence and published an Instagram post in December, where he confirmed the engagement. It was the only time they commented on their relationship.
They got married in secret.
In the Summer of 2019, Emma and Dave took another step — they bought a cozy house in Malibu, California. Even though the couple didn’t comment on this move, we can assume they decided to live together.
Despite the engagement, Emma and Dave were in no hurry to get married. And from time to time, there were rumors about their secret wedding. So, in May 2020, when Stone was interviewed by Reese Witherspoon, fans noticed the actress wearing a small golden ring on her ring finger. They thought the lovers had tied the knot in secret.
In September of that same year, they were seen together. This time, they had identical rings on their ring fingers. A few weeks later, a source close to the couple finally confirmed they were married and really happy. Of course, the stars didn’t talk about the event at all.
They started working together.
While they didn’t say a word about their wedding, they shared the news about creating a production company together. Usually, Hollywood couples try not to work together, but Stone and McCary are sure about their union. Together with А24, they opened a production company called Fruit Tree and have started creating projects.
They were happy about having a child.
In November 2020, unexpectedly for everyone, Emma hinted in one of her interviews that she would like to have kids. And in January 2021, it was confirmed that they were expecting a baby. In March, they had a daughter, Louise Jean McCary. The girl was named after Emma’s grandmother.
Two months after the birth of their daughter, the actress attended the Met Gala and wore one of the wedding dresses from her wedding ceremony. In general, Emma and her husband stick to their position: they protect their relationship from the attention of the entire world and don’t comment on the events about their lives or any rumors.
In your opinion, how does the decision not to speak about a relationship affect it?
