What to Know About Emma Stone and Dave McCary's Daughter, Louise Jean

When you think of Emma Stone, you probably imagine her fiery red hair, her spunky personality, or her many movies like Easy A or La La Land, which have made her a household name. While her appearances in public weren't exactly few and far between when she was dating Andrew Garfield or Kieran Culkin, since marrying former Saturday Night Live segment director and writer Dave McCary and having her daughter, Stone has pretty much kept her personal life out of the spotlight. 

Among the many celebrity-related things that people are obsessed with, celebrity families are high on the list (ever heard of the Kardashians?), and Emma Stone's is no different. We've already covered everything there is to know about Emma Stone's husband, Dave McCary, so follow along as we walk through the need-to-knows of Emma Stone's daughter.

Emma Stone and Dave McCary's Timeline 

While there's no exact date we can point to regarding when Stone and McCary met, most sources seem to agree the pair met sometime in 2016 on the set of SNL. From that year to a 2019 post announcing their engagement, little was known about the couple. Also in 2019, the couple made their first public appearance together at the SAG Awards. In 2020, they tied the knot after nearly four years of dating. 

"Emma is close to her family and good friends but not the type to flaunt her personal life," a source told People in 2021. "Dave respects that about her and is the same way. They have a great life together and support each other."

Emma Stone's Daughter, Louise Jean

While Stone has openly talked about being unsure if she wanted kids, turning 30 really changed her, she said in an Elle interview with pal Jennifer Lawrence. 

"I think it’s been a good time to get a little perspective because things were so heavy work-wise for the past few years. And honestly, so many of my dreams are now personal and less professional," she said. "It’s less thinking about the next 10 years and what needs to happen and just sort of relaxing into what will be instead of trying to control the outcome."

Lawrence, who got married to husband Cooke Maroney in 2019, pressed Stone on her future, asking about her plans for marriage and kids. 

"My perspective about kids has changed as I've gotten older," Stone said. "I never babysat or anything. As a teenager, I was like, 'I’m never getting married, I’m never having kids.' And then I got older and I was like, 'I really want to get married, I really want to have kids."

A year after Stone and McCary tied the knot, they got pregnant with their first child. The next year, they welcomed their first child, Louise Jean (named after Stone's grandmother Jean Louise Morgan) on March 13, 2021.

Unlike other celebrities, Stone has seemed to keep her daughter's identity as private as her and her husband's relationship, but according to a source, she's over the moon about being a mom. 

"Emma and Dave have a great marriage and both wanted a child," a source close to Stone told People. "They are a very grounded and private couple and were ready for a family."

"Emma has been very excited about the baby," the insider said of Stone prior to Louise Jean's birth. "She has been private but said that she was feeling great. She always has a huge smile when she is with Dave."

Emma Stone Becomes a Working Mom

While many sources close to Stone have said how much she loves being a mom, motherhood hasn't stopped her from wanting to continue on in her career.

“They love their little family. Louise has brought them so much joy, and they’re growing and learning every day,” a source told Us Weekly. “They’re in this together. Emma still has the Hollywood ambition and drive and determination to do her best work and it keeps her going, and she believes doing what she loves will also make her a better mom.”

While Stone gave birth in 2021, she has kept her vigorous work pace in Hollywood with movies such as Cruella and, more recently, Poor Things, which netted her (another) Oscar. Many parents will tell you, there's nothing that motivates you quite like becoming a parent, and her go-for-broke Poor Things performance is proof.

While accepting her second Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Bella Baxtor in Poor Things, Stone thanked her family for all of their love and support. 

"I really just want to thank my family. My mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much. And, most importantly, my daughter, who's gonna be three in three days and has turned our lives technicolor," she said. "I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl."
