Emma Stone‘s husband, Dave McCary, is an Emmy-nominated writer and producer but he is still one of the more low-key partners in Hollywood due to the couple’s private relationship. The Kinds of Kindness star has been in a relationship with the former Saturday Night Live writer since 2016 but the pair rarely step out together in public.
We did get a rare glimpse into their marriage when McCary proudly walked the red carpet with his wife throughout the 2024 awards season, even sharing a kiss with his wife when Stone won the Best Actress award at the 2024 Oscars for her role in Poor Things. Taking the stage, Stone gave McCary sweet shoutout. “I want to thank my family, my mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband, Dave, I love you so much,” Stone said.
