Andrew Garfield Was Spotted With Longtime Girlfriend Christine Gabel in New York

Before landing the lead role in Tick, Tick...Boom!, Lin-Manuel Miranda's feverishly-anticipated Netflix movie, Andrew Garfield busied himself by appearing in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Mainstream, and others.

Over the years, he has successfully cemented himself as an actor equally well-equipped to portray characters like Rodrigues in Silence and Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. So, what's Andrew's dating life like?

In Netflix's Tick, Tick...Boom!, Andrew plays Jon, a playwright dreaming of a real breakthrough. Based on an autobiographical drama by Jonathan Larson, the visionary composer and playwright behind Rent, Tick, Tick...Boom! takes a look at the complications up-and-coming creatives face.

A remarkably private person, Andrew hardly ever shares details about his love life. But he and his girlfriend, Christine Gabel, made several exceptions in November 2021, taking a stroll in New York and attending the premiere of Tick, Tick...Boom! together at Manhattan's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

Andrew broke up with Emma Stone, his co-star in The Amazing Spider-Man, in 2015. He has been extra-cautious about his privacy ever since.

The stars dated for around four years, frequently attending red carpet events like the premiere of Magic in the Moonlight and the Met Gala 2014. Between 2008 and May 2011, Andrew was in a relationship with Shannon Woodward, with whom he also made a few public appearances.

Andrew's attitude toward dating while famous seems to have changed in the late 2010s.

He was previously linked to Rita Ora and This Way Up creator Aisling Bea. His relationship with Rita lasted a few months. Further details are excruciatingly hard to come by. It's uncertain what went down between Andrew and Aisling.

Andrew was then spotted with Christine Gabel in July 2019, which indicates that they have been together for more than two years.

Andrew briefly talked about his sexual orientation in a 2018 interview with Out Magazine, after landing a part in a stage production of Angels in America.

"Up until this point, I’ve only been sexually attracted to women," Andrew said. "My stance toward life, though, is that I always try to surrender to the mystery of not being in charge."

"I think most people — we're intrinsically trying to control our experience here, and manage it, and put walls around what we are and who we are," he added. "I want to know as much of the garden as possible before I pass — I have an openness to any impulses that may arise within me at any time. But, if I were to identify, I would identify as heterosexual."

Thanks to his appearances in TV shows like Brideshead Revisited and movies like Hacksaw Ridge, Andrew has amassed a reported $13 million. He made his debut as a producer with the 2020 Mainstream.

Tick, Tick...Boom! arrives on Netflix on Nov. 19, 2021.
