Relationship Timeline
In October of 2017, a source told People the two were officially in a relationship and had been dating for months. It's said that Stone and McCary first met when she hosted SNL and starred in his sketch "Wells for Boys" the year prior.
Aside from a few photos of the couple floating around Hollywood from 2017 to 2019, there isn't a lot of information about their relationship. However, in 2018 Stone reportedly hosted a roller skating party that McCary attended. According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, the two were cozy.
"They stood right next to the stage in their skates for all of Haim’s set, dancing together and singing along,” the source said. “At one point, they slow-danced to a somewhat upbeat song. He initiated it and she excitedly followed. They held hands [with] his other hand around her waist and hers around his shoulders.”
In 2019 the couple made several public appearances including at the Golden Globes after-party at the Beverly Hilton hotel, a night at a Los Angeles Clippers game, and seated next to one another at the Oscars that year.
In 2019 Stone was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger sparking rumors the two got engaged. However, it wasn't until a source confirmed to People that McCary and Stone had secretly gotten married earlier in the year. Their engagement was confirmed when McCary shared a photo of Stone and himself showing off a beautiful pearl and diamond ring atop her finger.

What Does Emma Stone's Husband Do?
McCary worked as a segment director and writer for Saturday Night Live from 2013 to 2018, according to his IMBd page. During his time on SNL, the director and comedian was nominated for three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in 2016, 2017, and 2018. He also won several WGA awards for his writing while on the show.
Prior to his time on SNL, McCary and his college roommates, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, and Nick Rutherford, formed a sketch comedy group known as Good Neighbor, which became uber-popular on Youtube. In 2013, Good Neighbor was picked up by Comedy Central and was later produced on the network by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay under their company Gary Sanchez Productions. This intro to the world of comedy was what then led the group to land spots on the SNL team. McCary joined as a segment director, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett as featured players, and Nick Rutherford as a staff writer.
Aside from his award-winning writing at SNL, he also directed a comedy drama known as Brigsby Bear that was produced by The Lonely Island, a production company founded by Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone.

During his lifelong captivity, Pope obsesses over a child TV show called Brigsby Bear until he's rescued by authorities. When he's released, he realizes the show he grew up loving was actually created by his captor as a way to keep him entertained.
In 2017 the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and the same year was theatrically released by Sony Pictures Classics.
