There are no wedding bells in Emma Watson’s future — for now, at least.
Watson sparked engagement speculation during Paris Fashion Week when she stepped out at the Miu Miu runway show on Monday, October 6. The Harry Potter alum wore a pink slip dressed with a neutral overcoat, but eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice the ring on her left hand.
Rumors immediately started swirling online that Watson was engaged. She has yet to address the speculation, however the theory about an engagement has since been debunked. (More on that in a second.)
Watson keeps a pretty low-profile when it comes to her romantic life. The actress has been linked to Jay Barrymore, George Craig, Chord Overstreet, Leo Robinton and others during her time in the spotlight.
Growing up in the spotlight, Emma Watson often found herself at the center of relationship rumors — and dealing with the constant speculation wasn’t always easy. “[Being famous is] difficult on my dating life, because anyone I get photographed with is automatically my boyfriend,” the British actress told Glamour in September 2012. “So, it just […]
During a recent podcast interview — her first sitdown in years — Watson offered a major update when it comes to her relationship status, while adding that it can be “dehumanizing” when someone realizes her fame on a date.
“Seeing someone’s behavior completely switch and turn and change can be a jarring experience,” she said during a September episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast. “I think what’s nice is, at the very least, dating for everyone is basically a complete disaster and free-for-all. I feel like I’m in good company, in that sense.”

She also spoke candidly about marriage, claiming women in society are “being pressured” into it.
“I’m just so happy not to be divorced yet. That sounds like a really negative answer,” she added. “I might never be worthy of it. I hope it happens to me, but I don’t feel entitled to it.”

Whip up a love potion! Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and more Harry Potter stars grew up during the course of the eight-film series, meaning they began dating — and, in some cases, settled down — with the world’s eyes on them.

What Does Emma Watson’s Ring Represent?
Watson actually discussed the ring, which has been making headlines, during her September “On Purpose” podcast appearance.
“I did a ritual with, or I guess just a day of celebrating, with my friends and chosen family and they each bought me this ring which has 22 petals on it and each of them bought one,” she said. “I’ve just never owned anything so valuable in my life because to me it represents the life that I’ve built, which was the one that I really wanted. One that was made up of community and my roots and faith and trust.”
What Has Emma Watson Said About Marriage?
The actress also made headlines in 2019 for comments she made about her experience ahead of turning 30.
“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,” she told British Vogue at the time. “There’s just an incredible amount of anxiety.”
She told the publication that she had no plans to settle down.
“I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel,” Watson added. “It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.”
