Actor Emma Stone and writer-director Dave McCary’s marriage is reportedly facing significant challenges. As per a new report, the constant scrutiny and demands of the entertainment industry are putting a strain on their bond, leaving it at risk of collapsing under the weight of showbiz pressure.
Emma Stone and Dave McCary’s marriage on shaky ground
As per RadarOnline.com, the La La Land star is scared that her four-year marriage will collapse under the strain of conquering the film business. The couple launched Fruit Tree Productions in 2020 and have scored a deal with Universal Pictures and produced eight TV shows and film, including this A Real Pain. The report quoted a friend saying that the success is adding pressure to her marriage.
A source said, “Emma has wondered, even with their success, if it was a good idea to become business partners with Dave. These days, their conversations are more boardroom than bedroom, and that zaps the spice out of a marriage. And she knows what these film partnerships have done in other Hollywood couples.”
In the past, Jennifer Aniston partnered with Brad Pitt in Plan B Entertainment, which he took over when their marriage hit rock bottom in 2005. Actor Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth also sold their film company, Hello Sunshine, in 2021 before divorcing.
The source added: “Emma sees success forming cracks in her marriage – especially since her name is much bigger than Dave’s and his ego gets hurt when power brokers only want to take meetings with her. She fears that with their business success, their marriage could become another casualty of Hollywood.”
