Stars, they date people just like us.

This week, news of Emma Stone’s engagement broke when her now-fiancé Dave McCary shared an Instagram selfie highlighting the sizable sparkler on Stone’s ring finger. In the simple photo, modestly captioned with a single pink heart emoji, the happy couple grins as Stone flashes her hand for the camera. The engagement solidifies the La La Land star’s status as the latest in a long line of uber-famous, A-list women who have settled down with non-celeb partners. McCary, a writer and segment director for Saturday Night Live, wooed Stone when she hosted the late-night sketch show in 2016, and they began dating in 2017, per People. A quick Google search confirms why my immediate reaction to the engagement news was, “Dave who?” Stone and the SNL staffer have largely kept their relationship under wraps.

In fact, with the exception of the sweet engagement selfie, there is no social media evidence of the relationship at all (a rarity in today’s day and age), and Stone has yet to comment on the betrothal. McCary’s public Instagram page is essentially a tribute to hilarious SNL cast member Kyle Mooney, his childhood BFF and University of Southern California classmate. Almost every other picture or video on his grid is of the bespectacled Mooney, alone, and often several of them appear in a row. One photo of Mooney posing majestically on a boat includes the sincere sentiment, “so proud of my best bud” in the caption. If things don’t work out between him and Stone—knock on wood—he will always be able to count on his heavily-documented bromance to stave off the loneliness.
