Andrew Garfield and Dr. Kate Tomas, the self-proclaimed “professional witch,” have officially ended their brief romance, just months after making their relationship public.
Kate confirmed the breakup on October 11 through a response to a fan on Instagram.
When an Instagram user inquired if she was still dating Andrew, she replied, “We broke up months ago but I’m sure he will be happy to know that he is loved.”
This marks the end of a relationship that garnered attention earlier this year, especially during public outings together.
The couple was last seen together in July at the 2024 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in England.
They first stepped out as a couple in late March, where they were spotted holding hands on a double date with Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham.

Despite the couple’s apparent chemistry, Andrew, 41, has not publicly commented on their relationship or breakup. In contrast, Kate has faced scrutiny regarding her relationship with the actor.
In her Instagram post confirming the split, she responded to comments about Andrew, stating, “Sweetheart, the only people who ever talk about or centre a man in my life, work, business and social media are women like you.”
Kate had previously voiced her frustration over the media’s focus on her relationship, emphasizing that women’s accomplishments are often overshadowed by their romantic ties.
In a July interview with the Sunday Times, she stated, “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.”
Dr. Tomas, who holds a doctoral degree in Theology from the University of Oxford, has spoken about the challenges she faced in the public eye, including criticisms of her appearance.
She shared that she has utilized her own teachings to navigate these difficulties, focusing on self-empowerment and psychic protection.
As both move on from their romance, it remains to be seen how they will continue to engage with the public and their respective careers.
