    Back in March, it was revealed that British actor Andrew Garfield had a new girlfriend after he and " professional witch " Kate Tomas were spotted on a double date with Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham .

    While Kate has been rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous for quite some time as a “spiritual mentor” — one of her clients is actor Lena Dunham — she is relatively unknown to the general public, and has less than 10,000 Instagram followers at the time of writing.

    To get you up to speed, the Sunday Times reports that Kate, 42, identifies as queer and is vocal about being neurodivergent, having been diagnosed with autism and ADHD in her 30s. She also suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which she says has left her disabled, and previously shared that she is “ethically non-monogamous.”

    In her interview with the publication, Kate also revealed that she is in the process of selling her cottage in Wales as a result of her fourth divorce.

    As for her career, Kate charges clients £1,500 [around $2,000] for a 45-minute tarot card reading, which includes two full days of consultations via WhatsApp afterward to unpack what she has found.

    All clients are asked for a six-month minimum commitment , with prices starting at £4,000 [around $5,000] a month, because “magic takes time.”

    Kate also runs a seduction masterclass , which she briefly removed from sale on her website after her romance with Andrew went public as people began to claim that she had used spells to bag the famous actor.

    Speaking on her podcast , The Friday Emails, Kate purportedly said that she faced “horrific accusations” that she had “used magic to seduce” Andrew, and explained that this is not what her class is about.

    In fact, the masterclass apparently teaches clients that you can’t use “magic spells or manipulation” to bewitch somebody into being with you. Instead, Kate teaches people how to be “authentically themselves” and “full of charisma” to attract others.

    And these wild allegations surrounding her and Andrew’s romance aren’t the only pitfall to dating somebody in the public eye, with Kate expressing her dissatisfaction with being in somebody’s “shadow” in her Times interview.

    “It’s frustrating that no matter how accomplished or impactful a woman is, it’s always going to be more interesting if they are in a relationship with a man,” Kate told the publication. “I don’t want to sit under anybody’s shadow.”

    Her appearance has also come under scrutiny in the months since their relationship was revealed, with Kate adding: “They [the paparazzi] will take maybe 150 pictures, then they choose the four where you look worst.”

    She went on to call out the “misogynistic nature” of this interest in “how a woman looks, [and] what [she] does for work.”

    This isn't the first time that Kate has mentioned the misogyny that she has experienced since dating Andrew, previously saying on her podcast: “Fucking hell, nothing could prepare me for having literally thousands of women telling me I’m ugly, I’m unattractive, I’m less than in every conceivable way.”

    Kate went on to reveal that she utilized some of the practices she teaches to overcome the relentless criticism she was enduring, which included “moving out of that victim space and reclaiming the power that has been taken.”

    “That might be screaming into a pillow, or doing a cord-cutting spell, or putting a dome of energy, like a bell jar, over somebody that’s actively harmful,” she explained at the time. “The most powerful form of psychic protection is knowing who you are and being OK with that.”

    Meanwhile, Andrew, who has always been incredibly private when it comes to his love life, has not publicly commented on his new relationship.

    He was previously linked to model Alyssa Miller between 2021 and 2022, and arguably his most famous romance was his long-term relationship with his Amazing Spider-Man costar Emma Stone , which ended in 2015 .
