Who else would be more fitting to find love while studying at a prestigious university than Hermione herself?<\/p>\n
The actress was spotted kissing a fellow classmate in the U.K. on July 1 and is now going on a date with the same man. The actress has been generally more private about her love life, but it seems the two might be making more progress towards something more than a fling.<\/p>\n
Emma Watson<\/strong><\/a>, 34, has been working on a part-time Master\u2019s degree at Oxford while the young man <\/span>Kieran Brown<\/strong> is said to be working towards a PhD in 19th-century literature and economics.\u00a0A source told The Sun<\/em><\/a>, \u201cEmma is studying creative writing, and [Brown\u2019s] thesis is all about literary theory\u2014so they have a lot to talk about. She looks so loved up with Kieran.\u201d<\/p>\n Emma Watson has a new boyfriend<\/p>\n See all photos and read some BS at: https:\/\/t.co\/PdU7uwvP5b<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/V0LkwkktuA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \ud83d\udcf8E\u035fm\u035fm\u035fa W\u035fa\u035ft\u035fs\u035fo\u035fn\u035f U\u035fp\u035fd\u035fa\u035ft\u035fe\u035fs\u035f\ud83d\udcd6 (@EmWatsonUpdates) July 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Before Brown, the Beauty and the Beast\u00a0<\/em>star was dating Brandon Green<\/strong><\/a>, son of controversial business tycoon and fashion entrepreneur Sir Philip Green<\/strong>, from August 2022 till May 2023. Then, in an interview with British Vogue<\/em><\/a> in December, Watson shared her plans for taking a break from what she knows to try for a different pace and lifestyle at least for a little while.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause I\u2019m in a career that moves very quickly, the decision to take time to do these things felt like a very big decision,\u201d she said. \u201c[Choosing] to go back and write and study and get behind the camera was terrifying for me because I\u2019d never done it before. I had always been in front of the camera; I\u2019d always been an actor.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI\u2019m just so glad that I did because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don\u2019t think I did before\u2014more autonomy.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2011, Watson announced that she was temporarily leaving Brown University to focus on her busy career.<\/p>\n In a message to fans, she wrote, \u201cAs you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I\u2019ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n It must feel pretty good for her to now take a break from her career instead which she had mentioned could be \u201creally hard[\u2026] to go out and sell something that [she] didn\u2019t have very much control over.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
