Andrew Garfield is madly in love with galpal Monica Barbaro — and the screen stud is hankering for a happily ever after that sees them make beautiful babies together, sources say.
In fact, insiders claim, Andrew, 42, is even more interested in starting a family than he is in getting hitched.
The Amazing Spider-Man star and 35-year-old Monica — a rising Hollywood star who earned an Oscar nod for her role in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown — have been dating since February and have quickly become one of Hollywood’s most loved-up couples.

Andrew’s previous on-again, off-again romance with La La Land’s Emma Stone fizzled out after four years in 2015, and he had short-lived flings with songbird Rita Ora, Bridgerton beauty Phoebe Dynevor and spiritual guru Kate Thomas.

But he appears to have settled on Monica, who was rumored to have once caught the eye of her Top Gun: Maverick costar Tom Cruise.
An insider tells Globe, “The affair with Monica has reversed Andrew’s wishy-washy stance on having kids.”
“He doesn’t want to be an old dad, and all of his closest friends are already parents. But it all comes down to the intensity of his relationship with Monica. That’s what’s driving all of this — and forcing Andrew to get real about how he wants to spend the next 20 years. Monica’s biological clock is not ticking, but his is.”
In 2024, Andrew was lukewarm on the prospect of parenthood in an interview with Esquire, but sources say his current relationship has turned him around. “Andrew isn’t hiding how he feels about Monica at all. He’s head over heels, and he’s making real moves to bring her into his world,” the insider confides. “He hasn’t been like this since the late stages of his and Emma’s relationship — but that’s the problem.
“Andrew can be smothering, dramatic and over the top about this stuff. He and Monica are in love, but Monica is a much cooler customer. He is the one who makes these big, sweeping gestures when he falls in love. Right now, he wants nothing more than for Monica to have his babies.”
