00:00Emma Stone has found her happily ever after.
00:04In September 2020, Page Six confirmed that the Oscar-winning actor had married comedian
00:09Dave McCary after three years together.
00:12And while these two like to keep their relationship low-key, we're dishing what we know about
00:16their happy romance.
00:19While Dave McCary might be an industry player just like his wife, he has taken on a behind-the-scenes
00:24role in comedy, including writer, director, producer, and editor.
00:28He kick-started his career by founding the sketch comedy group Good Neighbor with his longtime
00:33friends, current Saturday Night Live stars Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney.
00:38McCary also roamed the hallowed halls of 30 Rock as a writer and director for SNL from 2014
00:44to 2019.
00:45Then, in 2017, he made his directorial debut with Brigsby Bear.
00:50McCary also directed and executive produced Julio Torres' HBO special My Favorite Shapes
00:56in 2019.
00:57Man, I mean, there's not a lot of stuff like this out there.
01:00Like his comedy work, McCary is also a hit with fans.
01:03A source told People in 2017,
01:05"'Dave has this core of kindness and sweetness.
01:08He's tall and fit, confident and funny.
01:11He's just a great, cute, talented guy.'"
01:14While she's been tackling more serious subjects in her films these days, longtime fans know
01:19that Emma Stone built her career using her comedy chops, starring in Superbad, Easy A, and
01:25Zombieland.
01:26"'I mean, if you love someone, you shoot them in the face.'"
01:30As a child, Stone even took improv classes to help her cope with crippling anxiety and
01:35panic attacks.
01:36She told Rolling Stone,
01:37"'You have to be present in improv, and that's the antithesis of anxiety.'"
01:42"'Thank you.
01:43That's our show.'"
01:44It makes sense, then, that Stone reportedly first met McCary on the set of Saturday Night
01:49Live in December 2016, acting in a sketch that McCary directed called Wells for Boys.
01:55But their romance didn't make headlines until almost a year later, when a source told People
02:00the pair had been quietly dating for months.
02:03"'So many great memories in this place, but probably the one that sticks with me is this
02:08fling that I had with the guy on the show back then.'"
02:11Beyond their professional lives, this couple likes to lay low.
02:14Stone doesn't even have a public social media presence, telling Elle,
02:18"'I think social media wouldn't be a positive thing for me.
02:22Anything that really bothers me that people could comment on is something I'm already worried
02:26about, and nobody really gives a s*** at the end of the day except for me.'"
02:31Given her desire to keep her personal life private, it makes sense that the A-lister would
02:35seek a partner who wasn't in it for the fame.
02:38A source told People,
02:39"'Dave has never wanted to be famous himself.
02:42He's wanted to showcase his funny friends.
02:44I could definitely see how that would be appealing to someone like Emma.'"
02:48McCary announced the pair's engagement with an Instagram post in December 2019.
02:53A source told Grazia,
02:54"'The proposal wasn't over the top, by any means, but Dave was very romantic and had
02:59a beautiful speech prepared.'"
03:01But while diamonds may be a girl's best friend, McCary passed on the traditional rock when
03:06choosing his lady's engagement ring.
03:08As a source told Entertainment Tonight that he found the pearl and diamond bauble from celeb
03:13favorite jeweler Catbird.
03:15And even though Stone is an A-lister, her ring gets an A for affordability.
03:19Shortly after the engagement news broke, her ring remained available online for just over
03:24$4,700.
03:27The unique sparkler seems a stellar choice for the down-to-earth star.
03:32Stone and McCary planned to marry in mid-March 2020 in a private ceremony.
03:37But as we're all well aware, the coronavirus pandemic changed many people's lives.
03:42At the time, an insider told Page Six that the couple had postponed their wedding without
03:47setting a new date.
03:48But less than two months after reportedly cancelling the ceremony, Stone's Ring Finger suggested
03:54she had tied the knot after all.
03:56In May 2020, she appeared in a virtual chat for the Child Mind Institute with the doctor
04:01and Reese Witherspoon, where fans noticed a new gold band on Stone's Ring Finger.
04:06If you marry an anxious man, you're gonna have to know me the rest of my life.
04:10This is, you're doubling down.
04:12Thankfully, I didn't do that.
04:13Four months later, in September 2020, the sound of virtual wedding bells rang throughout
04:18the internet when photos surfaced of Stone and McCary on a walk in L.A., both rocking matching
04:24gold wedding bands.
04:26That same month, Page Six confirmed the two had made it official, with a source telling InTouch
04:31that the two had a, quote, simple and perfect ceremony, and adding,
04:35They plan on having a downsized wedding and reception for their friends and family once
04:40this is all over.
04:42Stone certainly made the most of her 20s, starring in several hit movies, coupling up with Andrew
04:47Garfield and topping it all off by nabbing the Academy Award for Best Actress for La La
04:53Land.
04:54But as she approached the big 3-0, she started looking for stability, telling Elle,
04:58It's weird how much turning 30 crystallizes your life.
05:02Instead of just living the dreams that I had in my youth, what do I actually want as an
05:06adult?
05:07Claiming she originally had zero interest in ever getting married or having children,
05:11she added,
05:12And then I got older, and I was like, I really want to get married.
05:16I really want to have kids.
05:18While it appears she's found her prince charming, in early January 2021, E! News confirmed the
05:23couple is indeed expecting their first child together.
05:27Sounds like all her dreams are coming true.
