By now we know that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are over. The tabloids have been saying they’re over for weeks, although the first whiff of a breakup was back in February, when Emma was nominated for an Oscar and Andrew Garfield was nowhere to be seen. Us Weekly claimed this week that Emma did the dumping, and she was over Andrew’s whole dark, tortured artist routine. She wanted to be with someone who could be a “better partner.” It’s worth noting that Star Magazine got the ball rolling on the whole breakup story, so maybe Star has some inside information somewhere. You never know. In this week’s Star, sources claim that yes, Emma dumped Andrew and for good reason – because he cheated on her.

“Andrew cheated on Emma with a girl in Taiwan, where he is shooting Martin Scorsese’s new movie,” reveals a source close to the couple. “He confessed to Emma and she was horrified. She broke up with him right away.”

The couple had been going through a rough patch for a while. With Andrew thousands of miles away, it had been harder for them to communicate. And within the past month, the source says, “Emma noticed that Andrew was acting different – more distant.” When she asked him what was wrong, he tried to come up with excuses. “At first, he blamed all his stress on filming the movie, but then he broke down.”

Andrew told Emma that he’d had a one-night stand with a girl he’d met at a bar. “Emma was shocked…she can’t trust him anymore. She is starting to think that there may have been other girls too. She never thought that Andrew would do this to her and now she feels like she never really knew him.”

Meanwhile, Andrew is even angrier at himself than Emma is.

“He made such a big mistake,” says the source, who reveals Andrew has been ‘drunk dialing’ Emma and begging for another chance. “Andrew’s inconsolable… Emma loves him, but she’s standing film. She thinks that the fact he cheated just shows how much they needed a break.”

Well, that’s one explanation for why there were sudden breakup confirmations all over the place. Emma and her people did the confirming, because she’s DONE with his cheating ass. Who cheats on Emma? For goodness sake.

So, who will her next boyfriend be? She’s got Aloha coming out in May, and I could totally see some “rumors” being spread about Emma and her costar Bradley Cooper, much like those old rumors about Booty Shorts and Jennifer Lawrence, which were strategically deployed for the publicity tours together. I could also see Emma being connected – briefly – with her costar Joaquin Phoenix. They worked together on Woody Allen’s Irrational Man, which will be at Cannes this year. I remember those set photos too – either Joaquin is an amazing actor (he is, for all his faults) or he was genuinely into Emma during filming. Some people have also suggested Emma with Tom Hiddleston. That would be PERFECTION. Seriously, I would love that. Hiddles needs a high-profile girlfriend for a little while, just for fun and to help him get his name out there ahead of what might be a big awards-season push.
