Emma Stone’s Husband and Daughter Gave Her a ‘Strong Foundation’ Amid Career Success

Emma Stone was ‘isolated’ growing up, but now her family is her ‘strong foundation’ amid her successful career, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style.

At 11, she made a presentation lobbying her parents to homeschool her so she could be in more productions at Phoenix’s Valley Youth Theatre. And at 15, she’s said, she made “a PowerPoint [convincing them to let me] move to LA…to try to be an actor professionally.” They supported her after watching Emma sacrifice her youth for her passion and turn her once crippling anxiety — which had formerly left their ambitious daughter feeling “very isolated and without a lot of friends,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style — into what the two-time Oscar winner, 35, now calls her “superpower.” After dating co-stars like Teddy Geiger, 35, Kieran Culkin, 41, Andrew Garfield, 40, she embraced a far quieter romance with former Saturday Night Live segment director Dave McCary, 38.
