British actress Emma Watson appears to be going public with a rumored new romance after she was photographed sharing a kiss with Mexican entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Baillères at an airport.
Photos published by international outlets on March 5 showed Watson — wearing a pink baseball cap, gray long-sleeved top and floral skirt — affectionately touching Baillères’ face before the two shared a kiss. In separate images, the pair were seen dining together at an upscale restaurant.
According to People magazine, citing Spanish outlet Quién, Watson and Baillères were first spotted together in late 2025. Neither has confirmed nor denied the relationship.
Baillères is reportedly part of a prominent Mexican business family with interests in mining, insurance, retail and finance. He currently serves as CEO of AI technology firm Lok.
During a 2025 appearance on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, Watson said she prefers dating people who are not overly familiar with her acting career.
Watson rose to global fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise and last appeared onscreen in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of Little Women. She has since stepped back from acting to focus on her education, saying she misses the craft but not the pressure that comes with it.
