ANDREW GARFIELD HEATS UP VENICE FESTIVAL WITH NEW GIGLASS!

The Spiderman hunk, 41, is back on the scene and this time he's got a new leading lady by his side - American actress Monica Barbaro, 35! The dashing duo made their red carpet debut at the prestigious Venice International Film Festival on Friday, leaving fans gagging over their sizzling chemistry.

But who is this mysterious Monica? A source close to the couple revealed that Andrew and Monica have been secretly dating since January when they were spotted together at W Magazine's Best Performances party in Los Angeles. The romance rumors had been circulating for months, but it wasn't until Glastonbury where they went public with their love.

"Andrew and Monica are the real deal," an onlooker spilled to thescholarlynote.com. "They were holding hands, kissing, and hugging - it was like they were in a romantic comedy!" The insider continued, "Monica is a total rockstar, she's got this free-spirited vibe that Andrew loves."

But what about his ex, Dr. Kate Tomas? Well, let's just say their breakup was amicable. Kate, 42, took to Instagram to confirm the split, saying they had parted ways "months ago" but added that Andrew would be happy to know he's still loved.

It turns out, Andrew and Kate's romance was a whirlwind affair - they were first spotted on a double date with Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham at Zinqué Malibu back in March. A source close to the couple told thescholarlynote.com that things between Andrew and Kate were "fairly new" but she had already won his heart.

"She's down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and has a great sense of humor," the insider gushed. But it seems Andrew was looking for something more in Monica - a source close to the couple revealed they've been inseparable since Glastonbury.

"Monica is everything Andrew wants in a partner - she's confident, charismatic, and authentic," the insider dished. "They're both creatives who understand each other's passion for their craft."

But what about Andrew's past love lives? Well, let's just say he's had his fair share of high-profile romances - including actresses Emma Stone and Shannon Woodward, singer Rita Ora, model Christine Gabel, and model Alyssa Miller. However, the Spiderman star has always been tight-lipped about his personal life.

For their arrival, Andrew wore an open-collar, pale blue shirt, which he tucked into navy trousers

In an interview with thescholarlynote.com, Andrew vowed to never speak about his love life, saying "I'm not in the public eye to a great degree because I’ve designed it that way for myself." He continued, "For my work, I'm fine with it, but otherwise I fight for my right for a private, personal life. My right to be ordinary. My right to be a mess."

But it looks like Andrew has finally broken his silence - and we couldn't be more thrilled! With Monica by his side, the dashing duo is sure to heat up the Venice festival in style.
