Hollywood A-lister goes public with stunning new girlfriend at Glastonbury months after split from ‘professional witch'
The pair went public with their romance at Glastonbury and were seen holding hands and kissing as they watched sets across Worthy Farm.
16
Andrew and Monica have been pictured a few times since January but insiders now confirm that the pair are an 'official couple' and 'happily dating.'
One VIP guest, who saw them on Friday and Saturday, told me: 'Andrew and Monica are the real deal.
"They were in the posh teepee tents on site and spent a lot of time in and out of the VIP area, as well as out around the farm.
'On Friday she was posing for some pictures in the VIP area and he stood quite a distance away but looked really proud.
'By Saturday they were holding hands and kissing and cuddling.
"They both seemed really happy and were singing along to Gracie Abrams during her set.
"Andrew had been single since last year, when he split from Dr Kate Tomas, who describes herself as a ' professional witch '.
At the time those close to the couple said Andrew fell for Kate — who offers readings, spiritual mentorship, consulting and masterclasses — because she was 'very different from other women he's dated' in the past.
They weren't kidding. Andrew has been linked to celebrities including Phoebe Dynevor, Emma Stone, Rita Ora and Alyssa Miller.
So he's definitely returned to type with Monica, the actress who landed her breakthrough Hollywood role with 2022's Top Gun: Maverick.
Hollywood superstar Andrew Garfield sobs at grave of murdered ancestors in heartbreaking Who Do You Think You Are episode
She also appeared as singer Joan Baez alongside Timothee Chalamet in A Complete Unknown, which earned her an Oscar nod in the Best Supporting Actress category.
My Spidey senses tell me Andrew's on to a winner here.
PAUL AND GRACIE FIND THEIR GUIDING LIGHT. . . AT 3.30AM
GLADIATOR actor Paul Mescal was the last man standing – albeit held upright by his singer girlfriend Gracie Abrams.
The loved-up couple were seen making the 25-minute walk back from dance mecca Block9 to their campsite at 3.30am yesterday morning, after hitting it hard all weekend.

And they made sure they stayed on the right track, despite looking slightly worse for wear, by finding a bloke with a red light on his head who could lead the way.
A source said: 'Paul and Gracie made sure they went out with a bang.
They were partying hard in Block9 until 3.30am and then decided to call it a night.
'They were having to hold each other up during the walk back.
"But in a genius move, they hired a man with a red light to walk ahead of them so they had something to follow all the way back to their campsite.'
Earlier in the evening, the couple were seen watching Olivia Rodrigo 's headline set on the Pyramid Stage, with Gracie even getting up on Paul's shoulders.
Elsewhere, former Doctor Who actor Matt Smith and model Cara Delevingne partied until 3am at NYC Downlow.
Meanwhile, Mel C admitted she was knackered and called it a night at 2am after changing into an on-brand Adidas tracksuit.
Better call her Snorey Spice.
ALICE ACE IT
WOLF ALICE were one of my surprise highlights when they took to the Other Stage for a golden hour slot on Sunday evening.
Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell, dressed in white shorts and a matching top with blue stars, delivered a brilliant set that drew a huge crowd.
16
As well as smashing their anthemic new single Bloom Baby Bloom, they had the crowd in the palm of their hands with a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams.
ANDY'S GIRL PARTY PALS
ANDY CARROLL didn't waste any time finding some new female friends, after his missus Lou Teasdale ditched the dirt and dust of Worthy Farm for a hotel.
Onlookers spotted the former England footballer watching The Prodigy on Sunday with two glamorous women and his pals.

Andy draped his arms around both of them as they walked to and from the stage.
One reveller told me: 'Andy was still living his best life even when Lou wasn't there.
'He walked out to The Other Stage with a pretty blonde woman and put his arms around her as they headed there from the VIP area.
'It's amazing he watched any of the set because he was talking to her almost non-stop when they played.
'Before the end of the set, he went and got a round of drinks for them all and the blonde woman joined him at the bar.
'On the way back into VIP, he was with a brunette and walked with his arm around her neck.
"He looked like he was having the time of his life.'
We're pretty sure the hangover yesterday was as brutal as ours.
Andy, who started dating Lou after he split from his wife, ex Towie star Billi Mucklow, was spotted at Worthy Farm all weekend.
Meanwhile, make-up artist Lou was only seen on site on Friday and Saturday.
She shared photographs of herself sunbathing at Babington House, a posh members' only club which is 30 minutes away from the festival.
I'm not surprised she fancied dipping her toes in the pool, given how hot it was down there this year.
MIGHTY MYLES
MY favourite set this year was the brilliant Myles Smith – who I grabbed for a selfie and a chat, below, following his performance on the Woodsies stage.
He was euphoric after his show, above, and it's not surprising given the size of the crowd, which spilled out of the huge tent and deep into the field surrounding it.
16
Myles is fast becoming a megastar, and after graduating to the Woodsies from the BBC Introducing Stage last year, I think massive things lie ahead for him.
I was at London's O2 Arena in March when he picked up the Brit Award Rising Star gong, telling fans he used to play to 50 people before he got his big break.
Bring on Glastonbury 2027, where I think Myles will be moved on to an even bigger stage.
SURVIVOR LEWIS TO TOUR UK
I have good news If you didn't get to see Lewis Capaldi 's secret set – as he is heading out on tour.
He made a brave return when he performed to well over 100,000 fans on the Pyramid Stage on Friday.
16
Lewis has now revealed he will go on a ten-date tour across the country, starting at Sheffield's Utilita Arena on September 7.
The pre-sale will begin at 9am next Tuesday, while tickets go on general sale on July 10. I'm sure they'll sell out quickly.
Lewis, who has been on a two-year break from music since his 2023 Glasto performance, where he struggled with anxiety, returned with emotional new single Survive.
Now he's on course to score his sixth No1 this Friday.
Well deserved indeed.
HOT ROD OFF THE BOOZE
OLIVIA RODRIGO pledged her allegiance to the flag when she wore Union Jack hotpants for a spellbinding headline slot on Sunday night.
But despite claiming on stage one of her favourite things about Blighty is that 'no one judges you for having a pint at noon', I've learned she was one of a handful of sober ravers at the festival.
16
16
I can reveal that Olivia, who was joined by The Cure's Robert Smith during her stonking set, had a booze-free backstage area so she was in tip-top shape for the performance.
She wasn't the only one who still had fun while avoiding the bottle, as Radio 2's Zoe Ball and TV presenter Davina McCall, who have both been sober for years, raved late into the night.
We spotted Davina and her long-term boyfriend Michael Douglas snogging like a couple of teenagers on the dancefloor of one backstage bar, before finally calling it a night at 2.45am on Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, Zoe stuck to water and was seen dancing along to a remix of Duran Duran's Girls On Film well into the early hours.
Judging by my hangover yesterday, perhaps I should try this when Glastonbury returns in 2027.
NO ENTRY FOR ALEXA AT VIP BAR
ALEXA CHUNG may be a top model, but that didn't stop her from appearing to be refused entry to a VIP bar at the festival.
She was spotted trying to get into a special area at the festival following The 1975's set on the Pyramid Stage on Friday night.
An onlooker said: ' Alexa was chatting to security on the door outside the exclusive bar.
"She appeared to not have the right pass to get into the special area – so ended up heading back out into the festival.
'It was a bit awkward but Alexa was in good spirits and didn't take it personally.'
We've all been there. Seems like model looks can only get you so far.

PATRICK MARMION reviews Lily Allen's Hedda in Bath: Singer just can't inject much empathy into this malignant narcissist
A GREAT actor can make us care about almost anybody. But Lily Allen, in her latest stage venture at Bath's tiny Ustinov Studio, has to cope with one of the dodgiest characters in all of drama. We are talking about Hedda Gabler, the alpha-narcissist creation of 19th-century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Hedda is an entitled madam who, in Matthew Dunster's modernised version, has the airs and graces of a spoilt supermodel. Fitted out with a modern backstory – Hedda is now the daughter of a late musician allegedly swindled by Spotify, and she moans that she 'misses her daddy and having it all' – she's also being dumped into 'middle class suburban poverty' by marrying a sweet but dull professor of something very obscure. Set in the West Country (or 'f***ing Somerset' as one character curses), we are in the realms of deep self-absorption. Hedda's ex, Jasper (Tom Austen, of Grantchester), returns, weeping that he doesn't want to be his partner's version of himself, but lacks the guts to be his own version of himself. And if you can unravel that, this show may well be for you. Hedda's thickly-bearded husband George (Ciaran Owens) is unsettlingly reminiscent of Allen's recently ditched real-life ex-husband David Harbour (Stranger Things). The difference is that George has had a personality bypass and she is without motivation for marrying this impecunious deadbeat who's pathetically jealous of her ex. Nor is it clear why George is marrying Hedda — a woman who's very touchy, but not at all feely (around him at any rate). And yet, even though she belittles and assaults an old friend, and urges her ex to shoot himself, we never really fear what Allen's Hedda is capable of. Other actors get more traction out of Dunster's hyper-realistic dialogue, rooted in tortured inertia. Austen oozes rizz as the chronically intense Jasper, who is an expert on the future (albeit not his own). Julia Chan as his new love (and Hedda's old friend), Taya, is an alarmingly vulnerable addict on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Imogen Stubbs is emotionally urgent as a gushy aunt, while Brendan Coyle (Downton's Mr Bates) is a soporifically insouciant MP and sugar daddy to Hedda. Hedda is not without quality, but it is almost entirely without empathy. No actor can survive that. Thankfully, Najla Andrade puts the neurotic swamp in perspective as the bashful Brazilian housekeeper, fearful of everyone's volatile mental state. Anna Fleischle's set design, meanwhile, embodies the play's soullessness, with a minimalist interior that looks like an upmarket funeral parlour with floor to ceiling net curtains. Dunster's production is fully crewed with understudies and clearly hoping for a West End transfer. And Allen's name will surely sell tickets. But where she may get away with playing a motivelessly malignant character in this theatrical boutique, Shaftesbury Avenue will be a steeper test of fan loyalty. Hedda is not without quality, but it is almost entirely without empathy. No actor can survive that.

A sure-fire winner in our picks for the best Psychological Thrillers out now: Our Beautiful Mess by Adele Parks, False Idols by Karla Marie Sweet, Our Last Resort by Clémence Michallon
Our Beautiful Mess by Adele Parks (HarperCollins £16.99, 448pp) Despite producing 25 new books in 25 years, Parks has succeeded in resisting a formulaic approach to her multi-million-selling novels. Her latest drama tackles how far a mother will go to protect her family. Connie is a mother with big secrets. The arrival home of her student daughter Fran with her new boyfriend Zac makes Connie uneasy. When Fran announces she is pregnant the dilemmas for Connie become an emergency. What follows is a rollercoaster of past deceit and future menace that allows the main characters, but especially Connie, to drive this dark tale to its explosive conclusion. Another sure-fire winner. False Idols by Karla Marie Sweet (Headline £20, 384pp) The toxicity of the ultra-exclusive LA wellness scene is the intriguing backdrop to a story packed with creepy suspense and relatable characters. The central character is Sadie, a neurotic would-be artist escaping from her past and seduced into joining Deep Flow by its charismatic leader Lilith. Her friends soon realise she is being drawn into a dangerous situation. But it takes Sadie longer to grasp exactly what she must do to truly belong to this group – and what she is prepared to risk to survive. The shiny, manipulative Lileth is particularly well drawn and Sadie's desperate need to escape the trauma of her past makes her the perfect victim. Smart plotlines and a shocking conclusion that exposes yoga poses and breath classes can, in fact, be the tip of a very poisonous iceberg. Our Last Resort by Clémence Michallon (Elliot & Thompson £16.99, 320pp) Every sentence reeks of good writing. The storytelling is spare and tense and it is literary without being pretentious. We meet Frida and her brother Gabriel in a luxury resort in Utah where they are attempting a reunion following their traumatic past growing up in a strict cult. Then the wife of one of the tycoon guests is murdered and Gabriel, due to the death of his wife years ago, becomes a suspect. Gabriel's less-than- convincing defence forces Frida to re-evaluate her whole relationship with him. Compelling.
