A Look Back at Emma’s Romantic History
Reflecting on Emma’s romantic past, she first met her husband, Dave McCary, in December 2016 while working on Saturday Night Live. She was introduced to the segment director during a sketch called “Wells for Boys,” which he had written.
By October 2017, PEOPLE confirmed their relationship, though they opted to keep it private at the beginning. Their first public appearance as a couple took place in January 2019 when they attended a basketball game together at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where they were seen enjoying each other’s company.
Later that month, Dave joined Emma at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, publicly supporting her at a Hollywood event. On December 4, 2019, he announced their engagement through a personal post on Instagram, showcasing her engagement ring, and PEOPLE confirmed their marriage in September 2020.
Their daughter, Louise Jean McCary, was born in March 2021, named in a nod to Emma’s grandmother by reversing her name to Jean Louise. In an interview on Lorraine, Emma expressed her excitement about motherhood, stating, “It’s very, very exciting. I feel lucky with what lockdown has been but it has been an insane year.”
Emma’s Relationship with Andrew Garfield
Emma’s four-year relationship with Andrew Garfield began on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2010. Their connection blossomed, and by November 2011, they were frequently spotted together, showing affection publicly.
Recounting the early stages of their romance, Andrew shared insights during a June 2012 interview with MTV News, stating, “We got on really well as people, in between [takes]. That was the fun stuff.” He described how their chemistry made the filming experience enjoyable.

However, their relationship was not without challenges, particularly from the paparazzi, which Emma found distressing. In a 2015 interview with the New York Times, she stated, “It’s uncomfortable to have photographers outside of your home. That’s never going to feel good, and I don’t think that’s ok.”
Though they decided to separate in 2015, their respect for each other remains intact. In an October 2016 interview with Vogue, Emma referred to Andrew as “Someone I still love very much.” In turn, Andrew expressed admiration for Emma, calling himself “her biggest fan as an artist” during a 2017 Vanity Fair interview.
He remarked on her growth as an actress, stating, “It’s been bliss to be able to watch her success and watch her bloom into the actress that she is.”
Their bond was highlighted during a recent reunion at the Poor Things premiere in London, where a fan captured Emma’s excitement upon spotting Andrew in the crowd.
Kieran Culkin and Emma’s Past Relationship
Emma’s romantic journey also includes a relationship with Kieran Culkin, whom she met while filming Paper Man in 2009. Their relationship, which began a year later, was relatively low-profile and ended in 2011.
Kieran has since married Jazz Charton in 2013, and they have two children together, a daughter named Kinsey Sioux and a son named Wilder Wolf. Emma and Kieran’s paths crossed again in 2022 at the Met Gala, where they were seen catching up and enjoying each other’s company.
Teddy Geiger’s Influence on Emma
From 2007 to 2009, Emma was in a relationship with singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger. The couple made appearances together on platforms such as MTV’s TRL and were photographed at the 4th Annual Gilda’s Club Red Ball, showcasing their connection during that time.
