The relationship between Emma Watson, the actress known for her role in the Harry Potter series, and Brandon Green, the son of former High Street tycoon Sir Philip Green, has come to an end, defying the odds of their unlikely pairing.
According to sources, the couple decided to part ways sometime after Christmas, concluding a “serious” romance that lasted approximately 18 months. Their relationship had progressed to the point where they introduced each other to their respective parents and enjoyed several holidays together, including a romantic getaway in Venice.
At 29 years old, Green had built a reputation as someone who embraced the party scene, and his dating history boasted a string of relationships with models. His name made headlines when he was caught on camera playfully patting Kate Moss’ bottom during a holiday in St Barths.
Having been raised in the tax haven of Monaco, Green’s extravagant Bar Mitzvah took place at the renowned Hotel Du Cap. The event was nothing short of spectacular, featuring performances by internationally acclaimed artists Beyoncé and Andrea Bocelli.
However, more recently, Green has shown an interest in philanthropic endeavors, particularly focused on biodiversity and the oceans. Friends describe him as “polite and smart,” reflecting a shift in his priorities.
With his fledgling tech investments company, Brendan seemed to be a suitable match for Watson, a serious-minded woman who pursued a degree at Brown University after her involvement in the Harry Potter franchise.
Watson has ventured into the world of filmmaking, establishing two film production companies and even directing herself in a Prada commercial. Additionally, she has delved into the spirits industry by creating a grape-based gin called Renais, with some of the grapes sourced from her father’s vineyard in France.
So, what led to their separation? It appears that Emma, now 33, experienced some kind of revelation related to her “Saturn return,” prompting her decision to end the relationship.
On her birthday, April 15th, she shared an Instagram post acknowledging her newfound understanding of the Saturn return concept, something she had not been familiar with before the age of 29. She discussed reevaluating her life, engaging in activities like surfing and horseback riding, undergoing therapy, and bidding farewell to her grandparents. She mentioned challenges she faced, such as injuring her thumbs while cooking and feeling sadness and frustration. She also expressed personal growth in terms of love and womanhood, finally establishing a daily practice after three years of trying.
Though she did not explicitly mention her breakup with Brandon in her post, the news has now been revealed to the public.
Similarly, singer Adele associated her own Saturn return with the end of her marriage to charity executive Simon Konecki while promoting her album “30.” She described this astrological phenomenon as a transformative period that raises questions about identity, desires, and true happiness.
The notion of a Saturn return signifies a time when the planet Saturn returns to its position at the moment of a person’s birth. Astrologers believe it signifies the conclusion of one life cycle and the commencement of the next, typically occurring around the ages of 29, 58, and 84, bringing significant shifts in lifestyle.
Signs of trouble in Emma and Brandon’s relationship emerged in March when a concert-goer claimed to have spotted Emma in the audience of a Taylor Swift concert in Las Vegas alongside her former boyfriend, tech entrepreneur Brendan Wallace. However, it remains unclear if their encounter rekindled their romance.
While Watson once famously referred to herself as “self-partnered” during a period of being single, she has generally been a serial monogamist and unfortunately experienced several unsuccessful relationships.
Her early love interests included rugby player Tom Ducker, followed by serious romances with fellow Oxford University students Will Adamowicz and Matt Janney. She has dated three young tech millionaires, most notably entrepreneur William “Mack” Knight, with whom she ended a two-year relationship in late 2017. She then had a six-month affair with handsome Glee actor Chord Overstreet before their breakup in the summer of 2018.
She was later seen enjoying cocktails with tech CEO Brendan Wallace, the co-founder of a venture capital fund, though it remains uncertain if they are currently involved.
By the summer of 2019, she had moved on to another tech millionaire, Brendan Iribe, CEO of Oculus, followed by businessman Leo Robinton, with whom she was involved for two years.
In an interview, Watson expressed how her previous partners had made her feel cherished and supported her growth. Despite her financial success from the Potter films, she has had mixed feelings about the fame it brought and has occasionally taken breaks from acting.
Having joined the Potter films at the age of nine, she completed filming the final installment when she was 20, in June 2010. Sources recall
