Little is known about Stone and Culkin's relationship, though Taylor Swift's song "When Emma Falls In Love" — a "from the vault" track from Swift's 2023 Speak Now (Taylor's Version) re-release — is thought to be about the pair.

Stone coyly said, "You have to ask [Swift]," when U.K. late-night host Graham Norton asked her whether she is the Emma named in the song's title during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
