Emma Watson spent eighteen months quietly dating Brandon Green, son of controversial British retail billionaire Sir Philip Green, before anyone made it fully official. They were spotted after a helicopter trip in London in 2021, then photographed walking hand in hand through Venice in 2022, then reportedly meeting each other’s parents and taking romantic holidays together. Watson never once confirmed it publicly. Sources told outlets Green had been actively wooing her and that the relationship was serious. Then shortly after Christmas 2022 they reportedly split. No statement, no tweet, no Vogue interview about mountain retreats this time. Just gone. The fact that her boyfriend’s father was one of the most controversial businessmen in Britain, facing allegations of workplace misconduct and tax avoidance, was a detail the tabloids certainly did not overlook.
