Garfield, 41 and Barbaro, 35, even wore co-ordinating white Ralph Lauren outfits for the occasion — Barbaro in a sundress and Garfield in a button down shirt and a cap.
They sat in the stands at centre court and looked engrossed in the tennis as they watched the third round match between Britain's Sonay Kartal take Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Garfield and Barbaro looked smitten and the new couple shared a kiss in the stands.
They have been spotted together in New York but are yet to comment publicly on their relationship.
Garfield was previously in a relationship with Dr Kate Thomas, attending Wimbledon with her last year before they split up.
He sparked romance rumours with comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg after an appearance on her Chicken Shop Date show.
The Golden Globe winner has become one of Hollywood's leading men following his breakout roles in The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man, receiving Oscar nominations for his roles in Hacksaw Ridge and Tick, Tick … Boom!.
Much like Glenn Powell, Barbaro got her big break playing a supporting role in Top Gun: Maverick, and she starred alongside Timothee Chalamet in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, earning an Oscar nomination for her performance.
Garfield and Barbaro weren't the only celebrities spotted enjoying the tennis action at the All England Club over the weekend.
Former Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick was in the Royal Box with his wife Brooklyn Decker, while cricket legends Brian Lara and Ian Botham looked dapper in their suits as they watched on.
Australian acting royalty Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Rebel Wilson were guests in the Royal Box last week.
Olivia Rodrigo, her boyfriend Louis Partridge, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, WWE icon John Cena and former England football manager Roy Hodgson were among an electic mix of celebrites in the Royal Box in the first week of the grand slam.
Former Australian F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo celebrated his 36th birthday with a day out at Wimbledon, looking relaxed in the stands with his parents.
Nearly a year after he was sacked by Red Bull's junior team, Ricciardo said he is 'enjoying life in the slow lane' amid rumours he could be lured out of retirement to drive for Cadillac when F1's 11th team joins the grid next year.
Former Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and Mercedes reserve driver Valtteri Bottas are the current favourites to drive for Cadillac next year, but the American team could take a punt on a US driver or an unproven rookie.
'I'm just enjoying some life in the slow lane,' Ricciardo said.
'I mean, it sounds weird saying like retirement when I'm 35 years old, but retirement from at least the world I was living in. It's cool.'

F1 star Lando Norris injured after Grand Prix win after a fence collapsed during celebrations

Lando Norris was injured during his celebrations shortly after the Formula One British Grand Prix. Norris, 25, had taken the chequered flag in a tricky but thrilling race at Silverstone. The McLaren driver was presented with the glistening RAC trophy and a unique one built out of Lego Bricks on the podium.

Footage showed the Brit walking up to the wall as he held the trophy for his win. Watch the moment the F1 star was injured in the video player above As he approached the fence separating him from a crowd of fans, one of the McLaren team members climbed the fence next to a photographer. However, the fence then collapsed under the weight of them and saw the photographer fly back into the F1 star as his section on the right side of it came away. With cameras pointed at him from every angle behind him, Norris appeared to headbutt one of the camera lenses as he was surprised by the falling photographer on the fence. He was then seen holding his face in his hands as the photographer apologised for the accidental collision. Footage showed the driver being escorted back to his garage in the pit lane as he held his hands over his face. McLaren have confirmed that Norris has a small cut on his nose, but is otherwise fine. Norris had been reduced to tears after winning his home race ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri and Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg - who landed his first ever podium in 239 F1 races. He was overcome with emotion and forgot to check his language live on Sky Sports as he conducted his post-race interview. Jenson Button was forced to apologise on the driver's behalf after he swore when saying his thoughts in the final laps were to 'not f*** it up'. His language could see him fined nearly A$8,800 under the FIA's 'swearing ban' which was made a permanent rule this season.

How Prince Harry 'betrayed' the Queen before she passed

There are only so many times a hardy writer can describe the late Queen as 'sphinx-like' but that's exactly what she was. In public Her late Majesty gave less away than an Easter Island statue in a particularly inscrutable mood. But in private? Whoo boy. She reportedly did not hold back and those inside royal circles are now talking, revealing how Queen Elizabeth allegedly truly felt about Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. According to a new report, in her final years, the 'dying' Queen (who 'could hardly see…could hardly stand…could hardly move') was left 'utterly devastated' by her grandson. At the centre of the newest claims are the events of early 2021. Her late Majesty's husband of 73 years Prince Philip, aged 99, grand commander of the bbq tongs and steadfast helpmate, was clearly unwell, and the Sussexes had been in the US for nearly a year. They were ready to let their truth ring out and for Oprah Winfrey to get the scoop of the century. We all know what happened next - the casting of the Crown Inc as a biased and cold-blooded organisation that had blatantly ignored the Sussexees' suffering. Outwardly at the time the late Queen's response might have been restrained (who can forget the iconic line, 'recollections may vary'?) but in private she was 'utterly devastated', 'betrayed' and 'dismayed', according to royal friends and insiders who have spoken to The Daily Beast 's Tom Sykes. A former courtier has now told Sykes of Her late Majesty's anguish over the Sussexes' Oprah revelations while Philip 'was on his deathbed.' 'Ultimately, the queen felt betrayed by Harry, and when he and Meghan attacked the institution that she spent her whole life serving in the Oprah interview, that betrayal was complete,' the courtier said. 'It was absolutely shocking to those of us that knew him that he would do that'. They went on: 'The allegations of racism dismayed [the queen]. To accuse an unidentified person within the family of racism, thereby casting the shadow of suspicion over everyone, was unforgivable in her eyes.' (Harry would later, in another TV interview, insist that he and his wife had not accused his family of racism but 'unconscious bias'.) The courtier commented: 'Things were never the same after that. ... It was a horrific series of betrayals at the end of her life.' That view is one echoed by a friend of the royal family who told Sykes on Sunday: 'You have to remember [that] the queen was seriously ill for several years with bone cancer. She knew she was dying, she could hardly see, she could hardly stand, she could hardly move. And then she was completely let down by her grandson. It was utterly devastating for her.' Of the Sussexes' dramatic, San Andreas-like fault with the royal family, a friend of Prince William and Kate, The Princess of Wales, has chimed too, telling Sykes, 'The family, of course, all blame Meghan 100 percent'. '[Harry] ain't the sharpest tool in the box, and they feel he was completely manipulated and that Meghan saw him and realised she could become the most famous person in the world. Then the reality of what their boring royal life would be like sunk in, and she decided to ruthlessly milk it for all it was worth. That is their view.' One person who reportedly experienced, first hand, how bad things were between Her late Majesty and the Duke of Sussex was a Buckingham Palace switchboard operator. This weekend supremely well connected royal writer Richard Kay revealed an incident that happened during the pandemic when Harry called the Buckingham Palace switchboard to speak to his grandmother. As the switchboard operator told Kay: 'When I announced to the Queen that Harry was her caller there was just a stony silence…it was so uncomfortable'. These new details from Sykes and Kay come after emails sent by a cousin of the late Queen were published in which she wrote about Queen Elizabeth's private fears about the Sussexes' union and how a 'rude' Harry 'blew' his relationship with his grandmother. Lady Elizabeth Anson was not only related to Queen Elizabeth but they were reportedly so close they finished each other's sentences and spoke on the phone weekly. In emails Lady Elizabeth sent to respected royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith ahead of the Sussexes' 2018 wedding, she revealed that Harry had 'really upset' Queen Elizabeth and that 'she was so saddened'. During a tea with Queen Elizabath, the duke 'was rude to her for ten minutes.' Two weeks before the duke and duchess' 2018 wedding, Lady Elizabeth told Bedell Smith that the late Queen was 'very worried'. 'Harry is besotted and weak about women. We hope but don't quite think she is in love. We think she engineered it all.' 'The Number One Lady…says the jury is out on whether she likes Meghan'. (Bedell Smith revealed the correspondence with Lady Elizabeth on her Substack.) Less than two years later, the Sussexes would be pitching their tent in California and embarking on a new life and in 2022, 'The Number One Lady' would pass away, reportedly suffering from a rare form of bone cancer. Two days before her death the late Queen posed for the cameras with new Prime Minister Liz Truss for what would be her final photo. Despite clearly being unwell, Queen Elizabeth still gave nothing away.

Late Michael Madsen's financial woes, eviction fears

Michael Madsen's final days were filled with anxiety over his finances and possibly losing his house before he was found dead in the property. The Hollywood star had dark final years, but was also ready to turn his life around, the source told The US Sun. The insider, who worked with the 'Reservoir Dogs' actor on a project in recent months, was in touch with the actor as recently as June 10. 'He called me on June 10 and said, 'I'm getting evicted from my house,' and he was asking me for $10,000 ($A15,200) to help him out.' The insider alleged that Michael was also trying to sell old cars to make money in his final months. Aniston's unexpected $45m life exposed Drake cops $13m blow after 3 dud attempts Financial Struggles According to Celebrity Net Worth, Madsen's net worth was around $US500,000 ($A762,000) at the time of his death. During his career, the 'Kill Bill' star experienced some financial problems. In 2009, Madsen filed for bankruptcy and was sued by a former landlord for racking up $US80,000 ($A122,000) worth of unpaid rent on a house in Malibu. At the time, the iconic actor was almost $US4 million ($A6.1 million) in the hole. He claimed his net monthly income was just $US3,300 ($A5,000). According to bankruptcy documents, Madsen owed $US1 million ($A1.5 million) to friend and collaborator Quentin Tarantino. He also borrowed $US25,000 ($A38,000) from his 'Die Another Day' co-star Pierce Brosnan, Fox News reports. Madsen was listed as one of California's 100 biggest tax delinquents on and off for over a decade. In 2013, he paid off his $US640,000 ($A976,000) IRS debt. However, 'The Hateful Eight' star continued to face financial issues. As late as 2021, he was still ranked as one of California's biggest tax delinquents, with a debt of $509,029.92 ($A776,943.27). He was not listed as a delinquent at the time of his death. Madsen once said in an interview that he took on roles in dozens of small films for the paychecks. Real Estate In 1999, Madsen snapped up a property in Malibu for $US2 million ($A3 million). He offloaded in 2007 for $US9.95 million ($A15.1 million), netting a $US7.95 million ($A12.1 million) profit. The 'Thelma & Louise' actor also reportedly owned homes in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. In 2022, Madsen was arrested for trespassing at a house from which he was evicted, the Daily Mail reported. According to the outlet, the 'Wyatt Earp' star was held at a $US5.3 million ($A8.1 million) Malibu mansion just across the Pacific Coast Highway from La Costa Beach. A source told the Daily Mail at the time: 'Michael had been living at the house since last year, but the lease was in another person's name.' The property was leased out by another person and several thousand dollars were owed in back rent. The owner attempted to evict the tenants for two years, but due to moratorium on evictions on account of Covid, it took several months to go through the legal process Sudden Death Madsen died at the age of 67. He was found unresponsive at his Malibu home, and first responders pronounced him dead last week. While the official cause of death has not yet been released, his manager confirmed that he died from cardiac arrest, with no foul play suspected, according to Today. Los Angeles County deputies responded to a 911 call at Michael Madsen's Malibu home, where he was pronounced dead at 8:25am. The sheriff's department told NBC News that Madsen appeared to have died from natural causes, and no foul play is suspected. At the time of his death, Madsen was involved in 18 unreleased projects, as noted on his IMDB page. Michael 'was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,' his managers, Smith and Susan Ferris, as well as publicist Liz Rodriguez, said in a statement. They said he was also set to release a new book called Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems. 'Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many,' the statement added. Madsen was the father of six children. In January 2022, his son Hudson Madsen tragically died by suicide at the age of 26. Hudson was one of three sons Michael shared with his wife, DeAnna Madsen, whom he married in 1996. Along with DeAnna and his children, Madsen is survived by his younger sister, Virginia, who shared a heartfelt tribute to him on Thursday. 'We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart,' Virginia wrote in a statement shared with Variety.
