Stone and McCary's relationship first became public in June 2017. At the time, a video surfaced of the director and the actress leaving together after a film's Hollywood premiere.
In December 2019, the couple announced their engagement when McCary, who once served as a segment director for "Saturday Night Live," shared a photo of Stone showing off her ring on Instagram.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced Stone and McCary to postpone their wedding in 2020. But in May of that year, she was spotted with a gold band on her left hand, causing speculation that they had married.
Stone is said to have stayed busy throughout her pregnancy.
