Why did Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone break up?

Following a reconciliation from a brief break in their relationship, it was announced Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone parted ways in October 2015.

At the time, an insider told : "It just wasn’t working.

"They still have a lot of love for one another and they are on good terms with each another and remain close."

Sources also revealed Andrew and Emma's clashing filming schedules resulted in repeated arguments between the couple, which caused them to split.

Andrew was in Taiwan shooting for Martin Scorsese's Silence and Emma was in Los Angeles promoting Birdman.

"I understand the interest in it completely because I've had it too," the Superbad actress said of the breakup speculation before it was confirmed.

She told : "See, I never talk about this stuff for this exact reason — because it's all so speculative and baseless.

"Once you start responding — once you're like, 'No, that's not true' — then they're like, 'Well, if we push enough, we'll get a comment, so let's see what else we can make up.

"But it's so special to me that it never feels good to talk about, so I just continually don't talk about it."

Another insider confirmed to : "There was no drama, they’ve been apart while working. They still care about each other."

How long were Andrew and Emma together?

Andrew and Emma were together for four years; they were romantically linked for the first time in June 2011.

He told : "That was the fun stuff. In between, we'd just mess around, and I felt, 'Ah, this is different.'

"I wasn't really aware what was happening in the screen test. She keeps you on your toes and that wakes you up.

"That was the beginning. Throughout shooting, it was wild and exciting.

"It was like I woke up when she came in...It was like diving into white-water rapids and having no desire to hang onto the side."

The co-stars went on to reprise their roles in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
