Emma Watson has grown up in front of the cameras, but the actress, who is celebrating her 36th birthday on April 15, 2026, has always been careful to preserve her love life. In 2017, in Vanity Fair, the star of the Harry Potter saga explained: “I noticed that in Hollywood, the people you date are inexorably linked to the promotion of your films and get caught up in this media circus. I would hate for someone I’m with to feel like they are part of a performance.”
But even by clearly establishing a barrier between personal and professional life, public attention to the love life of the actress who played Hermione Granger for over ten years has always been significant. Over the years, Emma Watson’s relationships have been revealed in the press through paparazzi photos or confidences from “close” friends of the actress. What are the stories that have marked her life?
2008 – Francis Boulle
In 2008, Emma Watson was photographed dancing with one of the protagonists of the show Made in Chelsea, Francis Boulle (who bears a resemblance to Tom Felton). Their relationship reportedly didn’t last long, as the young man wanted to make a name for himself. In the press, he said about her: “I really like Emma. She’s a very nice person.”
2008 – 2010 – Jay Barrymore
While studying at Brown University, Emma Watson dated Jay Barrymore, a British financier. But the distance eventually took its toll on their relationship.
2012 – 2014 – Will Adamowicz
“There was a huge crowd and I thought it was impossible for someone to take my picture, but they still found me,” Emma Watson confessed in 2012 to Glamour magazine after being photographed kissing Will Adamowicz, an Oxford student. The couple eventually split in 2014.
2019 – 2021 – Leo Robinton
Rumors went as far as to imagine engagements between Emma Watson and businessman Leo Robinton. But the actress eventually spoke out to put an end to the speculations: “If I have news, I promise I will share them.”
2024 – Kieran Brown
In 2024, Emma Watson was caught kissing Kieran, a fellow Oxford student. But a year later, on the Jay Shetty podcast, the actress hinted that she is now single. She also talked about the pressure to get married for women of her generation: “I think it’s a violence and a cruelty to make people believe that they have no value, or that they haven’t succeeded in their lives simply because they are not married.”
2026 – Gonzalo Hevia Baillères
Her latest known relationship. In 2026, Emma Watson was photographed at the airport kissing this Mexican businessman, heir to one of the richest families in the country.
