All About Leo Robinton, Emma Watson’s ‘Serious’ Boyfriend of Over a Year
Published 2 years ago on Mar 24, 2023

the Daily Mail reported that Watson was rumored to be engaged to Leo Robinton, her boyfriend of over one year, after the two were photographed out together on May 13, 2021. Watson spoke out against the outlet's report, saying explicitly that she is not engaged currently.

A month later, a source told Us Weekly that while Watson isn't engaged to Robinton now, she would like a longterm future with him.

Watson's statement comes after the couple was photographed together in November, where Watson gave a small hint that things were still going strong between her and her California businessman boyfriend. Robinton and Watson were photographed out in London's Primrose Hill after grabbing coffee. Both wore masks in most photos on the Daily Mail,  though at one point, Robinton took his off, as seen below.

The two were first photographed kissing in London last October, although Robinton wasn't identified by any outlet until April 2020.

Here, what to know about Robinton and his relationship with Watson.

Watson made it clear that she is not retiring from acting or engaged to Robinton in May 2021.

While Watson and Robinton were photographed out together on May 13, 2021, making it clear their relationship is still on in spring 2021, Watson shut down engagement rumors on May 17, 2021. she wrote on Twitter:

Dear Fans,
Rumours 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. If I have news—I promise I’ll share it with you. In the mean time please assume no news from me just means I’m quietly spending the pandemic the way most people are—failing to make sourdough bread (!), caring for my loved ones and doing my best not to spread a virus that is still affecting so many people. I am sending so much love to you, hoping you’re ok and as well and happy as you can be in these strange times. And again, thank you to everyone working so hard to keep us safe and well.

Watson and Robinton's relationship became public with a PDA photo in fall 2019.

At the end of October 2019, the Daily Mail ran photos of Watson kissing a "mystery man" while out at lunch in London, sparking speculation Watson had a new boyfriend. (You can see them her.) 

Watson would go on to describe herself as single in her December 2019 British Vogue issue interview, which was conducted in late summer, seemingly before she met or began seriously dating Robinton.

The actress spoke candidly about turning 30 to the outlet, saying, “I was like, ‘Why does everyone make such a big fuss about turning 30? This is not a big deal…’ Cut to 29, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious. And I realize it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around. If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out...there’s just this incredible amount of anxiety.”

She added then that she was seeing “not one specific person, but I’m going on dates.”

But honestly, she was fine with being single: “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel,” she said. “I was like, ‘This is totally spiel.’ It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”

Watson hasn't spoken about her love life since, but it would appear, based off the timeline of the interview, that whatever she and Robinton had going on when they were shot kissing was fairly new.

Watson and Robinton likely didn't meet on a dating app but rather through friends.

Watson explained to British Vogue that she doesn't use dating apps, in part because of her celebrity status. “Dating apps are not on the cards for me,” she said. “I’m very lucky in the sense that because I went to university and because I’ve done these other things outside of film, 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.”
