Emma Stone met her husband when she appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 2016. Here’s a complete timeline of their relationship.

Emma Stone had a long list of people to thank from the podium at the Golden Globes after she won an award for her performance in “Poor Things.”

The first name on her lips was her husband, Dave McCary.

Stone has been married to the former “SNL” segment director, whom she first met while shooting a sketch eight years ago, since 2020.

During her most recent appearance on the NBC sketch comedy show in December, Stone referenced their romance in her opening monologue, saying: “I’ve made so many memories here and so many friends, and I even met my husband at ‘SNL.'”

The cameras then cut to the creator and producer of the late-night sketch show, Lorne Michaels, as Stone jokingly blew kisses at him.

Here’s a complete timeline of Stone and McCary’s relationship.

When Stone appeared on the show for the third time in 2016, she delivered one of her most memorable performances in a sketch titled “Wells for Boys,” a Fisher-Price commercial parody about plastic toy wells parents can purchase for their sensitive sons.

According to People, it was during the filming of this sketch that Stone met McCary, who had been working as a segment director for the show since 2013.

While Stone chose not to walk the red carpet, a fan captured a video of her and McCary leaving with friends, which sparked speculation that the pair were dating.

The rumors of the blossoming relationship came almost two years after Stone split from Andrew Garfield. The two met on the set of “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2011 and dated for four years before their 2015 split.
