Who Has Emma Watson Dated? See Ex-Boyfriends, Dating History

When it comes to celebrities who like to keep their love lives low-key, Emma Watson definitely comes to mind. The longtime actress — who has been romantically linked to several actors, athletes, musicians and businessmen over the years — believes that being famous has hindered her romantic relationships.

“Anyone I get photographed with is automatically my boyfriend,” Emma previously mused to Glamour magazine. “So, it just makes it look as if I’ve had, like, 6,000 boyfriends.” While that’s hardly the case, the Harry Potter alum does have a healthy list of exes including Johnny Simmons, Chord Overstreet, Matthew Janney, Roberto Aguire and more.

In November 2019, the U.K. native revealed that she never considers herself “single.” Instead, Emma calls it “self-partnering,” per an interview with British Vogue. The actress later made headlines in April 2020, when it appeared that she was off the market.

At the time, Emma was dating California businessman Leo Robinton. The lovebirds were first spotted kissing in London in October 2019 and got pretty serious throughout their time together. “Emma seems to have found the guy she wants to be partnered with in Leo,” a source exclusively told Life & Style. “She’s even stopped saying she’s ‘self-partnered.’”

According to the insider, Leo is “handsome and smart” and all of the couple’s mutual friends “approve of their romance.” Emma’s “even introduced” her beau to her family, “who are very picky,” the source assured. “But they’ve all given her their thumbs up. Leo’s definitely a keeper.” The pair sparked engagement speculation in February 2021 when Emma was spotted with a ring on ~that~ finger.

While Leo is “doing everything in his power” to help keep their relationship out of the spotlight, “everyone is hoping to see them out and about more often,” the insider explained. Given Emma’s past boyfriends, she and Leo likely met in a more traditional manner.

Speaking with Vogue in the same 2019 interview, the Little Women star made it clear dating apps are “not on the cards” for her. “I’m very lucky in the sense that because I went to university and because I’ve done these other things outside of film,” Emma expressed. “My friends are really good at setting me up. Really good. And what’s really nice is some of my best friends are people I got set up on a date with and it didn’t work out.”

However, Emma and Leo eventually split. Although it’s unclear what went down between them, she was spotted cozying up to Brandon Green in August 2022.

They were first linked together in October 2019. While engagement rumors started to swirl throughout their time together, Emma shut down speculation with a series of Twitter posts. “Rumors about whether I’m engaged or not, or whether my career is ‘dormant or not’ are ways to create clicks each time they are revealed to be true or untrue,” she wrote in May 2021. “If I have news — I promise I’ll share it with you.”

Although it’s unclear when they split, things fizzled out between them and Emma has appeared to move on.
