Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield to rekindle their romance?

In February this year, Twitter went into overdrive when Andrew Garfield was the picture of a proud boyfriend when Emma Stone won her first Oscar, despite the fact the celebrity couple had broken up in October 2015 after four years together.

The stars’ fans urged Emma and Andrew to “work things out”, and it sounds like they may have got their wish as the couple are “growing close again”, according to reports.

In fact, sources believe that romance could be on the cards, with Emma making trips to London to watch her ex star as Prior Walter in ‘Angels In America’ – watching the show “several” times, which is no mean feat considering it is seven hours long.

Speaking to The Sun, the insider explained: “Andrew’s feelings for Emma never softened and now they are growing close once again.

“She has seen the show several times and always goes backstage afterwards to see him. They have even been sneaking out of the back door holding hands.

“There is a lot of history between them but they are both so busy. At the moment they are just seeing what happens.”

The source continued: “Emma spent some time in the UK earlier in the year shooting her new film ‘The Favourite’, but made a further trip to London when they have reconnected.

“There is a lot of history between them but they are both so busy. At the moment they are just seeing what happens.”

Despite their split, Andrew, 33, and Emma, 28, have always remained on incredibly good terms, with Andrew even recently saying that he would choose Emma to be stranded on a desert island with.

The actor also melted hearts when he was spotted with tears in his eyes as Emma delivered her impassioned winner’s speech at this year’s Oscars, also giving Emma a standing ovation when she won Best Actress at the Golden Globes earlier this year, even though the majority of people around him remained seated.

Meanwhile, Emma often gushes over her former flame, admitting that she struggled after breaking up with Andrew.

She said at the time: “He’s someone I still love very much. It’s been interesting [since we split]. It’s been a good year. And sad. Pros and cons.”

Emma and Andrew met during screen tests for The Amazing Spider-Man, where they were eventually cast in the roles of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.
