A few months ago, Emma Watson seemed to be happily single. She admitted that finding love could be simple, but she explained that the real challenge is finding someone who wants a genuine connection – someone who’s willing to ‘dance’ with you in life.
Based on photos of her looking relaxed and comfortable at a Mexican airport last week, it appears the 35-year-old Harry Potter actress is currently in a relationship.
Emma Watson, who has been focusing less on acting recently, is famously private about her relationships. However, it was clear she and her partner have a connection. Photos show them sharing a sweet kiss at a busy airport in Mexico – Watson, who is currently a doctoral student at Oxford University, was casually dressed in flip-flops and a bare-legged outfit.
The pair were seen together at a restaurant and have also been vacationing in luxurious locations, including the beach resort of Punta Mita in Mexico and the ski slopes of Courchevel in the French Alps.
Who is the lucky guy who has captured the heart of Emma Watson, who last starred in the 2019 film Little Women?
Gonzalo Hevia Bailleres, a tech entrepreneur from Mexico, comes from a family that owns a hugely successful business, making them among the richest in Latin America.
Watson isn’t likely to be fazed by her new boyfriend’s family background; she’s dated plenty of eligible men before, though none with quite the same level of wealth as Hevia Bailleres.
Recently, Stella Watson had a partnership with Brandon Green, the son of businessman Sir Philip Green. However, that collaboration ended after about a year and a half in 2023.
Oh my gosh, remember last year when she was with Kieran Brown? She actually met him while getting her master’s at New College – and now she’s doing a DPhil there! It’s so cool because New College is the castle from one of the Harry Potter movies – ‘Order of the Phoenix,’ I think – and I just keep imagining her walking those same halls! It’s like, she was living in the wizarding world, and with Kieran… it was perfect!
Shortly after discussing love in October, Emma Watson was seen traveling in Italy with Austin Kevitch, a tech entrepreneur. Kevitch previously dated singer Camilla Cabello and co-founded the exclusive dating app, Lox Club.
It’s not certain if their outing was a date or simply a chance to discuss relationships, but based on recent events, Watson is now interested in someone else.
The actress, who became famous at age ten for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, reportedly met Hevia Bailleres through friends they had in common.
They have since become so close that he has already introduced her to his parents.
This entrepreneur is a highly sought-after bachelor in Mexico. He created Lok, a tech startup that develops smart locker systems, and currently serves as its CEO.
Prior to his current role, he established Insaite, an AI company, and led it as CEO. He sold the company, which was founded in 2019, to a larger software company in 2021.
He runs his own investment company with locations in New York, Miami, and Mexico City, specializing in innovative technologies and projects that can expand worldwide.
He’s a successful businessman, and comes from a very wealthy family. The Bailleres are among Mexico’s richest, with a fortune exceeding £14 billion.
Grupo BAL, now one of Mexico’s largest companies, started as a family business. It was initially established by his great-grandfather and later grew under the leadership of his grandfather, Albert. Today, Grupo BAL includes the second-largest mining company in Mexico and El Palacio di Hierro, a luxury department store similar to Harrods.
Alberto had seven children, including a daughter named Maria Teresa Gual. She is the mother of Hevia Bailleres and remains involved in the family business, serving on the board of directors for El Palacio and participating in the Mexican Association of Culture.
Hevia Bailleres’ father, Gonzalo Hevia, is a real estate director.
Sending their son to the prestigious Le Rosey boarding school in Switzerland, with annual tuition around £100,000, wouldn’t have been a financial strain for them.
Hevia Bailleres’ burgeoning romance with Watson is not his first spin in the spotlight.
He was in a relationship with singer Belinda Peregrin, who was born in Spain and raised in Mexico, from late 2022 until early 2024.
Belinda’s breakup was reportedly tough, and her fans are buzzing with rumors that photos of her ex’s new partner were deliberately leaked by someone seeking revenge.
Why? It all comes down to some rather pointed song lyrics.
As a huge Belinda fan, I noticed something really interesting about her 2025 single, ‘Heterocromia’! It’s pretty clear the song is about a past relationship with someone who grew up with a lot of money – a real generational wealth situation. Everyone online picked up on it too, it’s been all over social media!
The story’s title alludes to heterochromia, a condition where a person has eyes of different colors. Interestingly, the author, Hevia Bailleres, is rumored to have this condition.
The song, which has been played 23 million times on YouTube, includes these lyrics: ‘You tricked me with your different-colored eyes; it was like dealing with two people in one. You acted so superior, but had nothing going on inside. You sold me a false dream, while you were just relaxing, having drinks, and seeking validation, putting on a show…’
She later added, relieved that she never had to meet her former mother-in-law, explaining that she wasn’t comfortable with the expectations of high society and simply wanted to live life on her own terms.
That was a clever comeback, assuming it was meant for the person who seems to be pursuing a relationship with Watson.
Watson is unlikely to be fazed by the prospect of a monied mother-in-law from hell, however.
Honestly, I’ve been tracking her finances, and it’s incredible! She’s worth around £42 million – can you believe it? She doesn’t just have money, though; she lives it. A gorgeous ski chalet, a stunning townhouse in London… and she even created her own luxury gin! She’s totally self-made and fits in anywhere, but honestly, she’s beyond those circles now. She defines them!
When she’s not traveling, she enjoys relaxing at her large nine-bedroom house in the lovely Jericho neighborhood of Oxford. You might also see her biking around town – she started cycling more often after receiving a driving ban for speeding in her Audi.
But she has, too, spoken of the pitfalls of fame and her battles with anxiety.
Just before turning 30, she revealed to Vogue that she felt significant anxiety about not being married or having children yet. She playfully described herself as being ‘self-partnered’ to address her single status.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following Paloma Faith’s journey, and it’s so relatable. She recently shared on Jay Shetty’s podcast that despite achieving what many would consider a dream career and life, she wasn’t truly happy. Now, she’s exploring whether her relationship with Hevia Bailleres can finally bring the stability she’s been searching for – something so many of us crave, even when things look perfect from the outside.
She explained that she’s been noticing a pattern where people seem to be interested in an older version of herself – a person she used to be, but isn’t anymore.
During the interview, she talked about how people often react to her fame before they actually meet her. She noted it’s amusing when someone apologizes for not having watched her movies.
‘And I will be like, “Please don’t apologise. That is bliss to me”.’
