The Real Reason Why Andrew Garfield & Dr. Kate Tomas Broke Up



Sometimes, even The Amazing Spider-Man can’t stick the landing when it comes to love. And with Andrew Garfield and Dr. Kate Tomas‘ breakup officially confirmed, fans are now left spinning theories about what really went wrong between these two.

The breakup was confirmed by Tomas herself on October 11, 2024, when she responded to an Instagram comment asking if she was still dating Garfield. “We broke up months ago,” she wrote, “but I’m sure he will be happy to know that he is loved.”

The couple’s relationship was relatively short-lived in the grand scheme of things. They were first spotted together in late March 2024, sharing a double date with musicians Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham in Malibu, California. Their last public appearance was in July at the 2024 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in England.

But what led to their split? While Garfield, 41, has maintained his usual silence on personal matters, internet sleuths think they’ve cracked the case.

So, why did Andrew Garfield and Dr. Kate Tomas break up?

A submission to the popular celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi suggested a potential dealbreaker as being the main reason behind their split. “It looks like Andrew Garfield’s girlfriend Dr. Kate Tomas broke up with him for not being a political radical,” the tipster wrote of Tomas, who is a self-proclaimed “professional witch” and psychic medium. “She posted a long post about celebrities not using their platform and it’s obviously about him,” they went on to claim.

The tipster referenced an October 2, 2024, post by Tomas, which, while not explicitly mentioning Garfield, seems to take aim at those with influence who choose not to use it. In the post, Tomas wrote: “We are all scared. It costs us all to speak up. But whatever you’re scared of losing, you should be more scared of losing your soul. Silence is death. What’s the f—ing point in anything if it’s not for liberation? Why cultivate power if when you have a chance to use it you don’t, for fear of losing it?”

She continued, expressing her frustration with those who have power but hesitate to use it for fear of losing their position or benefits. “Repulsive. Breaks my f—in’ heart,” she added.

While it’s important to note that this is all purely speculative, the timing and content of Tomas’ post do raise some eyebrows—especially given that Tomas has also been vocal about her frustrations with being defined by her relationship with Garfield. Earlier in July 2024, she told the Sunday Times, “It’s frustrating that no matter how accomplished or impactful a woman is, it’s always going to be more interesting if they are in a relationship with a man. I don’t want to sit under anybody’s shadow.”

Whether or not Garfield’s alleged reluctance to be more politically outspoken was indeed the dealbreaker, it’s clear that Tomas values using one’s platform for what she sees as the greater good. As she shared in her post, “We’re all tired, and disappointed, and full of grief. But at least we won’t be silent when we have an opportunity to leverage power, or audience for good.” For now, it seems she’ll be doing that on her own, with or without Garfield.
