Breaking down those Emma Watson dating rumors.
DeuxMoi posted about the potential relationship on February 1, alleging that the actress was seen at a wedding in Mexico City. “The rumors are she’s dating Gonzalo Hevia, heir to the Palacio de Hierro fortune (it’s like the saks 5th ave of Mexico),” the source claims. “He doesn’t have the best reputation with how he’s treated his ex girlfriends.”
Fans of Emma Watson flooded the comments of the photos with a myriad of different opinions. “I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about how’s he’s treated previous girlfriends. I’m honestly shocked she’s with him since she’s a massive feminist and all,” one comment reads, while another supports the rumored relationship with a simple, “Girl yeah.”
A third comment calls out the nature of paparazzi by saying, “This kinda feels invasive. Like random people snuck these shots.”
An exclusive source told People that Emma Watson is “really into” Gonzalo Hevia Baillères and is “on cloud nine.” They also add that Gonzalo “seems like a good guy.”
Okay, so who is Gonzalo Hevia Baillères?
Gonzalo Hevia Baillères is a businessman from Mexico, whose family is connected to the conglomerate Grupo BAL, which means the Baillères is also connected to a variety of business ventures like “mining, insurance, finance and retail, and include the luxury department store chain El Palacio de Hierro,” People reports.
After studying at Le Rosey in Switzerland and Miami’s Ransom Everglades School, he graduated from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México. Gonzalo is now the CEO at Lok, an AI company.

Unexpected Team-Up: Prince William and Emma Watson Unite for Change
Prince William had plenty to celebrate this weekend, but his latest public appearance quickly turned heads for a very different reason. After marking his 44th birthday and Father's Day with his family, the future king returned to royal duties—and made a surprisingly personal confession about the emotional toll of climate change.
William joined Hollywood stars Emma Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch at a United for Wildlife forum in London, an initiative he launched with the Royal Foundation in 2013. The organization works around the world to combat wildlife trafficking, environmental crime, and the destruction of endangered species.
But it was William's candid admission about his own fears that stole the spotlight.
The Prince of Wales revealed that climate change has caused him "sleepless nights," admitting he has struggled with anxiety about what the future could look like. Yet instead of allowing those fears to overwhelm him, William said seeing real progress through conservation efforts has helped keep his environmental anxiety under control.
He also delivered a powerful message to business leaders, urging them to become the kind of leaders they admired when they were children. With technology and innovation transforming the world at an incredible pace, William challenged CEOs to use their influence to create meaningful change.
The event launched London Climate Action Week, with more royal appearances expected, including the Earthshot Prize assembly.
Emma Watson also delivered a surprising revelation of her own. The Harry Potter star highlighted the fashion industry's enormous environmental impact, pointing out that it produces more emissions than aviation and ranks behind only oil among major polluting industries.
Watson, who is also pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at Oxford, shared a hilarious story about mistakenly believing paparazzi were following her. After spotting photographers with telephoto lenses, she arranged a distraction and escaped through another exit. The twist? They weren't photographing her at all. They were waiting to capture a red kite.
Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch praised William as "a great guy" and urged businesses and individuals to recognize that they can still make a difference, even when global environmental challenges appear overwhelming.
With William, Watson, and Cumberbatch joining forces on the issue, the London forum delivered a clear message: the fight against environmental destruction is becoming impossible for the world's biggest names to ignore.
