Emma Watson appears to be enjoying a new relationship.
The Harry Potter actress was recently seen sharing a kiss with Mexican entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Baillères at an airport on March 4. According to a source familiar with the situation, Watson, 35, is "really into" Baillères and is currently very happy in the relationship. The insider added that the billionaire entrepreneur seems like a good person and that Watson is in a great place emotionally.
After the airport sighting, the pair were also spotted spending more time together. They were seen having drinks and later dining at an upscale restaurant, suggesting their relationship has been developing steadily.
Their recent public appearances come after earlier reports that the two had been spending time together in recent months. According to the Mexican outlet Quién, Watson and Baillères were first seen together in late 2025 while vacationing in Courchevel in the French Alps. They were later spotted in Punta Mita, a scenic peninsula on Mexico's Pacific coast located about 10 miles north of Puerto Vallarta.
Baillères comes from one of Mexico's most influential business families. He is connected to Grupo BAL, the large conglomerate founded by billionaire Alberto Baillères. The company has investments in several industries including mining, insurance, finance and retail. One of its most recognizable businesses is the luxury department store chain El Palacio de Hierro.
Baillères studied at the prestigious Swiss boarding school Le Rosey before attending Ransom Everglades School in Miami. He later returned to Mexico to continue his education and earned a degree in economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, commonly known as ITAM.
Today, he serves as the chief executive officer of Lok, an artificial intelligence technology company.
Before his relationship with Watson, Baillères dated Mexican pop star and actress Belinda from 2022 until 2024. In 2025, Belinda released a song titled "Heterochromia," which sparked speculation among fans that the track referenced Baillères. He has heterochromia, a condition that causes a person to have two different colored eyes.
Watson was most recently linked to Brandon Green, the son of fashion executive Sir Philip Green, in 2022.
In a September interview on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, Watson spoke about relationships and explained that she prefers partners who are not overly familiar with her film career. She said it can feel like a relief when someone does not carry expectations connected to her work.
