Emma Stone dumped Andrew Garfield because he was ‘in a dark place’

wenn21262117

The first week in April, Star Magazine claimed that Emma Stone and Andew Garfield had “hit a rough patch” and had decided to go on a break. Sources emphasized that the split was mostly about timing, schedules and the fact that Andrew was thousands of miles away, filming a movie. A week later, all of the legit gossip outlets confirmed the news – Us Weekly, People, E! News all said pretty much the same thing, that the break probably wasn’t permanent, but that they were on a break. Now Us Weekly says that Emma and Andrew actually had real problems beyond competing schedules, and that Emma dumped Andrew because she’s totally done with him. Whoa.

They’ll always have The Amazing Spider-Man. As reported earlier this month, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone went their separate ways recently after dating for more than three years. And while sources initially told Us Weekly they were just taking a breather, an insider now says their blockbuster romance is over for good.

Stone, 26, “ended things and moved back to L.A.,” the source reveals in the April 27 issue of Us. “It’s finished. It’s not just a break.”

One factor in their apparent split was Garfield’s intense commitment to his role as a 17th-century Jesuit in director Martin Scorsese’s upcoming movie Silence, which costars Adam Driver and Liam Neeson.

“He’d been in a dark place for months, getting into his role,” a second insider tells Us of the Never Let Me Go actor, 31, who lost nearly 40 pounds in preparation for the film and has been shooting in Taiwan since January. “He wasn’t being the best partner.”

My gut reaction, weeks ago, was that Andrew was a fool for letting Emma go, but I also believe that HE is the high-maintenance one. He’s the one with drama and issues, he’s the one letting his ego get in the way of his relationships. So, yes, I can totally see why Emma would reach a point where she was all, “You know what? I’m tired of the drama. I’m done.” Poor Emma. Well, pretty much every dude out there wants Emma to be his girlfriend, so I’m interested in seeing what her next dating-move will be.

    Too bad…they seemed like a great match.

  2. merski says:

    Can we try to make Emma Stone and Jake Gyllenhaal happen? That would be so pretty.

  3. NewWester says:

    Maybe she dumped him because of those plaid pants

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yeah, that was probably the last straw.

    • Abby_J says:

      Don’t think I am crazy (or do, as you wish) but I love the plaid pants. Couldn’t get my husband to wear them if I tried, but my small baby boy can rock a pair of plaid pants. 🙂

      Yes, I also love seersucker suits and gingham too.

      Totally off topic. Just pointing out that I wouldn’t kick Andrew Garfield out of bed for those pants. I would if Hiddles was my other option, though. 🙂

  4. lisa2 says:

    They were a cute couple.

    • Jegede says:

      They were but is US Weekly as reliable as it once was though??

      Apart from stories on the Bachelor, or Real Housewives, they seem to making more hits than misses when it comes to legit celeb news.

  5. Murphy says:

    I love Emma Stone but I hear she’s been hitting the bottle pretty hard lately, maybe he couldn’t take it anymore

  6. OTHER RENEE says:

    Is it me or is she starting to look a little Botox-y? Just saying …

  7. danielle says:

    He doesn’t really have 40 pounds to lose! Not eating would take me to a dark place!

  8. Kath says:

    Andrew Garfield gets a lot of flak, but he was awesome in ‘Never Let Me Go’.

    • Franca says:

      Everyone was awesome in Never Let Me Go. That was such an amazing movie.

      • Kath says:

        Yeah it was haunting. I bought my mum the book and it depressed the hell out of her, but then she went straight out and bought Ishiguro’s other books!

    • Dońt kill me i'm french says:

      He’s also awesome in Social a Network ,Boy A and Red Hiring trilogy

    • Adrien says:

      He’s a great actor and he was great in the Spiderman series but he lacks something. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I was thinking about the Dane Dehaan the whole time I was watching Spidey2.

      • Alice D says:

        He’s a really good actor, but maybe just lacking that extra edge of charisma – and for me, despite his age, he comes across as very boyish still.

      • Josefa says:

        He’s very talented, just not particularly interesting to watch. Several actors are like that for me. I wouldn’t watch a movie because of them, but they wouldn’t stop me from buying a ticket either.

    • bettyrose says:

      wrong place

  9. LindaBelcher says:

    I’m sad to see they broke up, as I thought they were super-cute together, but I gotta say it. I kinda thought she was gay and this was a showmance. I figured once the Spider-Man stuff was over, they’d be as close as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after Twilight. So, y’know, not at all.

    • Dońt kill me i'm french says:

      Since that their contracts for Amazing Spiderman are over,I knew their “love story” would finish soon

  10. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Does anyone ever really “take a break” and then get back together? I always thought that was code for breaking up. Anyway, I like Emma and I hope she can be happy on her own or meet someone good for her.

    • Pixi says:

      Ross and Rachel

    • taterho says:

      lol @Pixi

      I think couples can take a break and work on issues and make it work in the end. But yeah, in Hollywood it’s definitely code for donesville.

    • sally says:

      Unfortunately in most cases, “take a break” is the step before a break up. And “taking a break” is hardly ever mutually agreed upon. Someone wants it so the other agrees holding onto false of getting back together after the break is done. it’s the beginning of the end.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Yeah, I always thought it was just a way to let someone down easy, or a polite way of saying “bye!”

      • Cankles says:

        Much agreed-in my personal experience “take a break” actually means “I want to go see if I can get anything better, but if I can’t, I want to be sure that I’ll have something to fall back on.” I don’t do “breaks” anymore for that reason-either we stick together and work out our issues, or…well, don’t let the door hit you in the arse.

      • sally says:

        @cankles. yup from personal experience i don’t do breaks anymore either.

    • Ameoba says:

      happens. Imo a break only as long as a short vacation can be a break. Once you’re back from vacation and still don’t want to go back to the person then its over.

    • Josefa says:

      It’s usually a more PC way of breaking up, but I do know of cases were it actually worked for the better. My cousin dated the same girl for most of his high school and college years, and after talking about it both felt they were wasting their youth on one single person, even though they loved each other deeply. So they spent like 2 years f*cking everything they wanted and then they got married. 7 years and 2 kids later, they are as happy as ever.

    • FLORC says:

      Good names. Yes it is possible, but really depends on circumstances. Often once there’s a breakup there’s an emotional disconnect and no coming back.

  11. Dani2 says:

    I understand why she would break up with him, if a person you love is in a dark place, sometimes you can start to feel responsible for helping them heal, and that’s not a healthy relationship, it’ll most likely be better this way in the long run. I wish Andrew well (even though he’s always irked me for some reason).

  12. Neelyo says:

    And by ‘dark place’, she meant closet. I kid. I care nothing about his sexuality it just seemed like the obvious subtext.

  13. Tig says:

    I don’t subscribe to PR romance theory if the couple is together for years- clearly, Emma and Andrew had the hots for one another- it was cute to see. Admittedly, love is easier to maintain when all is going swimmingly-and the perks of traveling and staying in swanky places is a help as well. Emma has always struck me as a ” glass half full” kind of person- and if Andrew kept staying all dark and morose, can see where it would be a deal breaker. I hope this Scorsese movie is worth it all for him.

  14. Amberica says:

    I don’t know- actors are emotional people. Seems kind of fickle to dump him over it. Grabted, “in a dark place” could have a range of meanings, and I don’t know how dark, but it seems a little shallow. That’s just my gut reaction, though.

  15. Alice D says:

    Going out with a method actor must be the pits.

  16. Norman Bates' Mother says:

    “He’d been in a dark place for months, getting into his role,”

    If that quote is true, I get why she would get fed up as I wouldn’t want to date someone, who is so method that he has to make everybody’s life miserable, because he’s currently playing a dark character. She used to say in interviews, jokingly-not-jokingly that Andrew never makes her laugh and that she always has to make him laugh and they were solid back then. If he went full Dustin-Hoffman-level-method, he probably doesn’t allow any sort of light-heartedness around him, sleeps in a basement with cockroaches, eats a stale bread and drinks a green water.

  17. Kitten says:

    Yay!

  18. Cody says:

    Two actors equal two drama queens. I can’t believe she doesn’t have her issues also. Anyway , they are both young. As my mother would,” Men are like buses, if you miss one, another one comes along.”

    • whoisme says:

      Yeah, no kidding. Emma’s getting off totally scott-free here when she’s just as much an egomaniac as Andrew.

      It’s ridiculous.

  19. lolab says:

    I don’t buy that he sacrificed for his art. Probably a bunch of things but the obvious would be infidelity and or not maintaining the relationship once they don’t have a franchise to keep them close professionally, especially with new projects taking them away from each other. Being on location and not physically seeing your significantother often means a wandering eye.

  20. P'enny says:

    the next boyfriend will be…..

    Hiddleston but she has to get in the queue like the rest of us.

  21. Katherine says:

    Emma is a cokehead.
    Yes, America’s brightest youngest comedienne next door, likes to hit the white stuff.
    That is the real reason they split.

  22. georgia says:

    Clearly Emma Stone has some great pr since everybody thinks that she’s actually that ” cool girl” who’s perfect and obviously Andrew is high maintenance. “Poor Emma” lmao.

  23. Rhiley says:

    I can see her getting cozy with Jake G next. He is often the rebound guy. Or maybe some musician. That Shakey Graves guys perhaps. Yeah, I am kind of interested to see who she gets with next.

  24. Andy says:

    People sure seem to be on the side of Emma….if this is in fact true gossip regarding their split. On the side of Emma….have you saw the guys she dated before Andrew? yuck! She moved up the ladder with Andrew. And, most think her hot? I dont know but she is not exactly model material. I just don’t believe the gossip. I would hate to think she would leave someone she was planning to marry because of health issues. Also leave them because of their job which keep them apart. A plane does not fly to where Andrew is working? And, her job keeps her away from Andrew too. Was Andrew flipping out when she was shooting a movie in Hawaii called Aloha? These magazines who get someone to be a “Source” and tell them about a couple who keeps their relationship so tight no one but the closest of friends and family would ever know what they are doing anytime of any day. No way anyone who really knows them well would tell a magazine anything. So, you are left with gossip. I don’t believe any of the break up stories. I think we will actually find out they got married later this summer in Paris.

  25. EN says:

    They look cute together but I always thought they are a good match personality wise. Of course, I don’t know them, I am just speaking of how they come across.

    Emma seems to have a bit of a hard-edge, she is a go getter. Andrew comes as rather ambitious as well, but somewhat moody and highstrung. He needs more emotional support than he can get from Emma, Emma needs someone who is more happy-go-lucky like her, or someone who already made it.

    • EN says:

      >I always thought they are a good match personality wise

      I meant to say “not a good match” personality wise.

  26. JenniferJustice says:

    Hmmm…I think the total opposite. I’ve always thought the relationship was PR sham to promote Spiderman and now that the contracts are expired, there’s no need for the faux relationship anymore. They don’t strike me as meshing or having much in common. I also don’t buy the cutesy girl next door image Emma’s PR would have us believe. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her; I just don’t buy into any celebrity’s image. It is just an image. We have no idea who they are behind closed doors. Besides, she knew he was method actor when she got with, so why diss him for it now and over a role I suspect is deep and thought-provoking? That doesn’t even make sense to me.

  27. FLORC says:

    Emma was the best thing about Andrew. She kept him from being a fool.
    And this was called ages ago with amazing spiderman 2. When her character was killed off it was called relationship over. Under the logic actors that hook up because they play love interests will break up once that stops.

    He seems drama filled and she seems like she’s strong, but just holding it together. She can do better imo. Too bad Gossling is off the market… They seemed like a fit. A good looking, low key couple.

  28. I Choose Me says:

    I could get behind an Emma Stone Gyllenhaal pairing. And by behind I mean between. Sandwich.

  29. oneshot says:

    If she has to have an arty hipster-looking bf as the rebound, how about Gaspard Ulliel?

    They will both be in Cannes, won’t they? Pretty sure of her, not sure about him.

    • Bloup says:

      Oh God that would be great. He has eyes to die for, I think he’s engaged though, or he’s been in a relationship for years at least.
