Is there a new Emma Watson boyfriend in the picture? That’s definitely the word on the street, though the Little Women actress is famously very private about her love life…
In fact, aside from sending Harry Potter fans into a frenzy with her admission to having a crush on co-star Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy) back in 2022, Emma makes a point not to comment on her relationships. She candidly told Vanity Fair back in 2017: “I’ve noticed, in Hollywood, who you’re dating gets tied up into your film promotion and becomes part of the performance and the circus. I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in any way part of a show or an act.”
That hasn’t stopped the speculation, however, with the latest reports claiming that she’s actually seeing someone new. Here’s everything we know, plus a recap of Emma’s dating history…
EMMA WATSON BOYFRIEND: WHO IS SHE DATING NOW?
As mentioned, like with the whole Ariana Grande dating saga and that of Madelyn Cline’s boyfriend situation for that matter, any intel on her relationships, is in short supply but here’s what we’ve managed to suss out anyway…
While of course, Emma hasn’t confirmed or commented on a new relationship, The Sun reported in June 2023 that she was apparently spending time with American businessman, Ryan Walsh, following her split from Brandon Green.
A source told the publication: “They have known each other for some time and now she is single she is making sure she enjoys herself.” This comes after they were spotted together in Venice earlier this summer.
Alas, that’s all we’ve got for you in regards to her current boyfriend situation (see, we told you details were few and far between!), so let’s instead turn to Emma’s dating history…
EMMA WATSON DATING HISTORY: WHO HAS SHE BEEN LINKED TO PREVIOUSLY?
When it comes to Emma Watson’s boyfriend list, The Beauty and The Beast’s leading lady has been linked to a few notable names, including Glee alum Chord Overstreet and former Made In Chelsea cast member Francis Boulle. And yes, obviously, we’re going to discuss those adorable Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy rumors because no, we’re still not over it!
BRANDON GREEN
Dating rumors were seemingly confirmed between Emma Watson and Brandon Green (son of fashion tycoon, Sir Philip Green) in August 2022, after the pair were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Venice.
They reportedly dated for 18 months, before sources told the Daily Mail in May 2023, that they had called it quits sometime after Christmas—though this was not officially confirmed.
LEO ROBINTON
Before her relationship with Green, Emma was also linked to businessman, Leo Robinton after they were spotted kissing in October 2019 in London. Fans didn’t learn his idenтιтy until April however, months after the pictures hit the headlines and since then, the pair were spotted together on numerous occasions.
Emma was then forced to deny engagement rumors in May 2021, tweeting to fans: “If I have news—I promise I’ll share it with you.”
Though neither confirmed, it’s thought the couple split in the months following, before Emma was spotted with Brandon Green in August 2022.
BRENDAN WALLACE
Emma was rumored to be dating venture capitalist, Brendan Wallace in October 2018 after the pair were pH๏τographed kissing.
Not a ton is known about this relationship though, or when they split (if they even actually dated), with Emma confirming that was single and ‘self-partnered’ in her 2019 interview with British Vogue.
CHORD OVERSTREET
In March 2018, it was reported that Emma was dating Glee actor, Chord Overstreet, after they were seen hanging out in LA together.
US Weekly then confirmed their split a few months later, with an insider claiming it was, “was never that serious.”
WILLIAM “MACK” KNIGHT
Before her brief relationship with Chord Overstreet, Emma dated Silicon Valley manager, William “Mack” Knight for two years, from 2015.
In her 2017 Vanity Fair interview, she refused to speak on her relationship, understandably wanting to protect it from the spotlight. They’re thought to have split later that year.
ROBERTO AGUIRE
Before her relationship with William “Mack” Knight, Roberto Aguire revealed to Just Jared that he and Emma briefly dated in June 2015, after initially meeting on the set of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, years before.
They saw each other for four months, before going their separate ways in September.
MATTHEW JANNEY
Emma dated Oxford University rugby player, Matthew Janney for nearly a year in 2014, before calling it quits in December of that same year
