Emma Watson and a friend in Oxford [July 01, 2025]

[Gallery] [Fashion] [Version française]










According to the Dailymail, Emma and this new guy were enjoying a picnic and painting.

A passerby who saw Emma with her new date, said the actress was painting with the male companion at Port Meadow country park.

Judie Kitchen, 18, spotted the pair as he walked by and said they were laughing and joking between painting each other and eating, seemingly unrecognised by the nearby wild swimmers.

Student Judie, from Headington, Oxford, said: 'I saw them for like 40 minutes. They were having a general chat and making each other laugh, which was cute.

'We arrived just after 3.30pm and one of my friends went for a dip in the lake. Once he got out there, they were there.

'My friend is a massive Harry Potter fan, so when he saw her, it was really funny to see his reaction.

'They were painting each other and eating together. It was just a really cute date.

'It looked successful as they were laughing a lot, which was nice to see.'

We all kinda knew Kieran dude was absent too much to be an actual boyfriend

this does look romantic and like he's a new thing but need to see him on a few more sightings with Emma before fully confirmed

Anonymous said...

OOOOH comments will be wild!

Eden is ready for the drama i bet hehe xD

Mainly, her actual BFs show up on holiday with her in foreign country a few times and thats when you know they are 100% on when paps find them on a beach or walking through an airport.

i always thought brown was like one kiss then they were like 'hmmm that was kinda weird lets not do this' lol

True. People thought the park bench guy was a boyfriend.

That's a decent rule. There's a difference between dating and a relationship.

This looks like more of a 'date' than anything with Brown. Which was just a kiss in what looked like an alley behind some house? lol

Eden said...

I have no opinion when it comes to her love life

Anonymous said...

He looks pretty besotted with her in the firs pic, he’s staring as she looks down 🥰

Anonymous said...

While it is nice to see her again…

But I just couldn’t ignore thinking… why would Judie go to the Daily Fail with this though? Clout is one thing…but girly just comes off as a weirdo for this. I mean she said it herself, people were minding their own business. Why not just send the pictures to her friend or post them online instead of having to admit that you were watching her for an extended period of time…Anyways unless this guy pops up again I think it’s fair game to say that they’re just friends. I’ll admit… it would be funny if she’s spotted with Kieran again though.

Anonymous said...

Eden knew all the time there was a new guy but kept quiet till the right time to cause maximum drama hehe ;)

Anonymous said...

Um… I sometimes go to the park to eat with my friends as well… I promise it’s possible for men and women to be friends… Because I won’t lie, I’m personally not picking up on a romantic vibe between them. That being said if later it turns out that they are dating… then good for them

Anonymous said...

will be fun later when US wake up and get mad that uk ppl who knew brown was gone were right Lol

Anonymous said...

Saying that two people eating together at a park looks more like a “date” than two being spotted kissing goodbye is definitely a choice…

OMG! Yes Sophia!! xD

Kay said...

yeah, like we knew Brandon Green was a thing as soon as Em take him to Italy that time haha

Anonymous said...

It’s the way I already knew some of you guys would be calling this guy her new boyfriend before I opened the comments…

In more important news … Sofia has finally been spotted again ☺️

Also am I the only one who found it weird how Judie admitted to watching them for an extended period of time???

Anonymous said...

she is in the limbo...

Anonymous said...

I honestly don’t care about her relationship status that being said… IF anybody here knows who that is… I’m BEGGING y’all to take a page out of the books from the two guys she was seen at a park with in 2023… and NOT to give his personal info to the Daily Fail. I mean, nobody that knows Kieran told them anything either. Especially if they are dating, because having a relationship that nobody knows anything about is what she has constantly implied she’s always wanted.

Bablu said...

Guys is it weird if I'm sobbing my stupid heart out after reading the following lines from the article? "they were laughing and joking between painting each other and eating" "painting each other and eating together. It was just a really cute date."
Eden is this weird to be crying the way I am right now? She looks HAPPY in the pictures, God help my stupid and ridiculous heart.

Eden said...

Can't say that ever happened to me

Anonymous said...

THIS definitely seems more like a date.
What they were doing and the stuff people commenting that were there…
BUT it’s the first time we’re seeing any of this so I’m not going to immediately say it’s a boyfriend.
**What really matters the most to me is that she looks genuinely happy!** And that attire looks lovely on her!
I’m just trying to figure out how long before somebody out here discovers his name. lol
Hopefully fans and paparazzi don’t scare this guy away. (Close friend or boyfriend.)

Anonymous said...

Weird thing is just YESTERDAY I was thinking, “Does she still have that dog? Does her brother have her?”

Yeah. Seems “date” like. Time will tell.
People said they were laughing and happy.
Her being happy makes me sooo happy!

Almost a year to the day we saw her and KB, but anyway… I hope these two had fun and he’s lucky to be able to be with her.
Hope he treats her well!

just wait for a few more sightings this summer with some hand holding or other PDA then its confirmed
till then its just a single date that maybe didnt go anywhere
we must wait
but i kinda feel we will see them together at the tennis final though

Anonymous said...

From what I can see he looks kinda cute!
The guy made our girl laugh and she was having some relaxing downtime.
Love it!
I would have loved to have seen their paintings TBH lol

Eden how French of a date would you say this is out of 10? xd

Anonymous said...

seem like a good match

happy for her

hope people who always need her top be single dont try it again this time

leave this guy be

Anonymous said...

I hate it when I see websites or people comment that she dates a lot of people.
Somebody commented that this was like her 16th boyfriend blah blah.
I rather see her date and see how many options are out there and get to know people versus settling on someone in your 20s and then it be the wrong person.
Like the person above said since this is the first time we’re seeing this guy I’m not gonna immediately chat that it’s a boyfriend but I think the biggest thing is that it looks like they’re having fun and she’s happy and she looks beautiful in that dress!!
I hope he makes her happy, helps her to be successful and grow, and treats her right boyfriend or friend.
I would love to see their paintings of each other! If Emma were to ask me to paint her, I would be scared because I am so bad at art.

Anonymous said...

side note Eden do French people actually say 'murder' like meeeer-dare or is this a meme? lol

Anonymous said...

Agree.
I think they look sweet. If this is indeed a boyfriend I hope he lasts and I hope he is a good supporter for her.
I hope daily me and fans don’t make him run away.
She is definitely a catch and I would never let her go.
Blessings to her!

It all depends on the food and whether or not La Marseillaise was playing in the background

One date doesn't make him a boyfriend i would count brown after one sighting either and even green only got seen a few times and appear very casual i really think it cant be listed as boyfriends people like to call all men near her a bf to try and shame her with a big number and its weird

First time I'm hearing of this XD Must be a meme, sorry to disappoint

eden that thing were comments 'fail to publish' 5 times before working is happening again is this a blogger issue or something? just wondering

Bablu said...

I know right? 'Happy' and 'laugh' are the two words that are coursing through my heart and brain right now and I'm a hundred percent sure I'm quiet emotional to see her having a good time, I don't know why and I feel incredibly stupid but it is what it is.

Bablu said...

Also, anybody here watching the Wimbledon matches? Eden how about you? Is tennis something that you're interested in? Excited for Alcaraz v Struff

Eden said...

Nope. I'm not into any sport

Bablu said...

I see, anything of no interest in the athletic world at all? I'm sorry if I sound intrusive but I'm just curious is all.

Nope. No at all.

Anonymous said...

I wouldn’t mind seeing him with her a lot more often.
Can you imagine all the times they did go out or do something and there were no paparazzi or fans taking pictures?
Other times that they’ve gone out and we’ve never seen it..
If he is not a boyfriend, I’m sure he hopes he could be a boyfriend. I think Emma is a good catch.
She’s beautiful, kind, talented smart, and more.
I’m just waiting to see how long it takes for people to find out information about this guy like they did with KB.
And I see that someone said something about scaring people off I hope if she truly likes this guy and they’re dating he doesn’t get scared away.

In other more important news…

Emma has finally brought Sofia with her when she escapes from the basement. Now we must wait to see which one of them will get lured back into Eden’s basement first … I’ve got $5 on Sofia…

Bablu said...

Um by the way eden, I think I need a bit of help from the only French person that I know. I'll be in France for a family reunion soon and there's a person that I've been really meaning to talk to for a few years. She's French and the only thing I know about having a conversation with a French person is that they prefer short and professional conversations. I unfortunately happen to be english and that means there are a hundred different ways I can mess this up. Can you tell me a few ways I can strike up a conversation with the said person and not mess it up?
I just wanted a few tips from an actual French person. I'll be incredibly grateful if you can suggest anything.

Anonymous said...

I don’t think they actually care tbh

Eden said...

I wish I could help but I suffer from really bad social anxiety so I'm the last person you should come to for advice to talk to anyone.

Bablu said...

Oh, I'm extremely sorry about that
Yeah, I think I'll have to figure this out myself. How do you manage it? The anxiety, if you don't mind me asking. More power to you eden. And by the way it's not Paris that I'll be visiting but another city in a different region so I think I'm a bit relaxed about having to converse with a parisian. Thanks alot eden.

Anonymous said...

I know we joke about Emma being in Eden’s basement … But I will admit , she does genuinely look happier since she took a step back from acting. As much as I would love to see her in a new project… I can’t ignore how overall more peaceful her energy seems to be since she turned 33, compared to her 20’s or even teenage years. I know it might sound para social… but she just seems lighter somehow (I don’t mean her literal weight either) it’s nice.

Anonymous said...

The main thing is just don't use informal versions of words until they say it's ok. Other than that I've found French people don't care that much if it seems like you're actually trying. Well, unless you're one of those people who can speak 10 words and goes around acting like they're fluent. That pisses people off.

Bablu said...

No I get what you're saying mate and in a way it does seem that way.

Bablu said...

Yes I've heard of that and just to be clear, I'm not an arse who speaks 10 words and pretends that I'm fluent in the language itself, so I guess I'm clear. Thanks for the suggestion though mate. Cheers alot.

I agree with last anon. Imo most business magnates in general (not necessarily those Emma dated, but them in general) are usually pretty narcissistic

Why do Emma's posts with a man generate the most buzz on the blog?

You are Emma's fans For her private and love life and for wanting to know what she does in her intimacy or of her as a public figure and actress??
. Because I couldn't care less who Emma Watson kisses.
What I want is movies!

With no movies for 6 years it became the only news we really get do now it's the EW dating history blog lol

Arnau said...

I couldn't agree more. If she's happy then it doesn't matter if she's single or not, or with one guy or another.

I'd love to know what she thinks about her acting career, if she wants to return somehow or not, because that's, at least in my case, what I miss the most.

I said give it time and somehow people will find out.
Two pages I clicked on because I thought they had different pictures. Keep swearing it’s KB. It’s pretty confusing how different sites are coming up with these random sources that say it’s this person or that person.
But I swear some people can find out more information than the FBI I say give it time and will probably have his name and what he majored in in school.

Anonymous said...

I kind of see him as a possible new boyfriend, but I also see it as he could be a friend because guys and girls can be friends. She sort of reminds me of my best friend. I’m pretty much her only girl friend.
She has more guy friends than anything and there’s been many times where people thought that they were dating or that they were even brother and sister.

Anonymous said...

They look very close. Painting one another is surely more of a date activity? Especially sitting by a river with a picnic. I’m not sure I’d want to do that with a male who was just a friend. Their body language is very close too.

Ngl it’s not the first time people have thought she was dating one of her guy friends because their body language looked “close”. I don’t personally care who she does or doesn’t date. But from what I’ve seen, she’s just an affectionate person regardless of whether or not she’s dating that person. However if they are dating, then good for them

Anonymous said...

Y’know I was thinking… What if they aren’t dating…And you have all these articles about a 18 year old watching you and a friend for 40 minutes… And people assuming your dating a friend/acquaintance just because you were goofing around and laughing. I would imagine that’d it be at least a little bit awkward…

Even if they are dating… I’d personally be a little bit uncomfortable knowing that I was being watched without seemingly noticing for almost an hour… More so that the person watching decided to reach out to a media outlet and tell them the exact time and place of my whereabouts (while also providing pictures)…

That One Guy said...

This does seem like a date to me. But there's a difference between "going on a date" and "having a boyfriend." It could be one or the other. Either way, it's cute and she looks happy.

I think there's nothing wrong with caring who a celebrity is dating, so long as you don't get weird, possessive, or judgy about it.

If Emma's happy, I'm happy for Emma.

Anonymous said...

i think its a real story of a date for once as the source is named and not 'sources say' for the quotes of how they acted

Anonymous said...

Seem nice couple x

Anonymous said...

Not necessarily about these pictures.. maybe not even fully about Emma…
But why is it if fans or paparazzi photograph an actress who is simply standing next to a guy everybody instantly says they’re dating and that they “know” they’re dating, but when there’s a picture or two of an actress, giving someone a kiss or it appears that they are getting comfortable on a date like even arms around each other whatever fans and other sites have to question if they’re really friends and then you have people saying that they are friends and there’s no way that they’re dating.
Like I’ve seen people argue over a picture of her standing next to her brother that that is her boyfriend but then there will be a picture of her kissing and holding hands with an X and people are stating that they’re just simply friends. ?????
With this, I would want to say that it could be a date because you don’t really see him as much like you do other guy friends.
I just get the vibes from it.
But then I’ve seen people argue that the picture from last year of KB kissing her while holding her neck tenderly is just a friend.
IDK lol
Just something that another Emma and I were talking about earlier.

I love the woman and no matter what is going on or she does I fully support her.

Painting each other with a picnic beside a river in the early evening is a total date c'mon now ppl


It might just be where I grew up … but not really. It wasn’t rare to find a group of friends, family members or even strangers painting in the park. Some would even trade canvases as they painted each other every now and then. You could always tell if they had a gap in skill by how loudly some of them would joke or laugh too…

Anonymous said...

Um… yes they do? My friends and I actually did a challenge where we tried to paint each other under 10 minutes at the park 2 weeks ago. Then we would swap canvases

I remember exactly June 14, 2014. She and Matthew were walking around North London and they weren’t extremely close. They probably had a good gap between them no holding hands hardly even looking at each .
They were dating at the time.
I think people think that you have to be making out and hugging on top of each other in order to be known as dating I mean my boyfriend and I don’t always hang on each other or kiss each other in public. We’ll sit side-by-side on a park bench a few times or in a restaurant, it may not look like we’re together, but we are.
We shall see with this fella.
But I will say that my current boyfriend and I are Valentines day date was going to a café where they had painting with a twist and we were told that we had to paint each other and then the other board we had to paint something that we wanted for the future, but anyway that’s what this reminded me of.

Anonymous said...

I definitely don’t kiss my guy friends, and let them hold on to the back of my head or neck like that.
I think he was definitely a romantic interest if not a boyfriend.
Maybe just a couple dates here and there nothing steady.
I do that I prefer just to go on dates here and there I don’t wanna be steady with someone.

Didn’t other people post pictures of Emma besides that video of her and the blonde guy at the Oxford dinner? I remember seeing 3 other pictures of her from that day going around instagram from accounts that were public… I’m not sure if the accounts got shut down but two of them had mentioned the Oxford dinner in the caption. One even replied to who I assume was a friend, about some sort of media being present. If media was present, and the blonde guy seemed like a boyfriend they would’ve been quick to run the “Emma’s new boyfriend” story… Because if we’re being realistic it DOES garner attention even it isn’t true… I mean ELLE posted about a guy she was seen at the park with… and presumably dating with the source being a random teenager that we can assume doesn’t know them. At the same time they’re running the everything we know about Kieran story… which is just information that can be found by searching his name in association to Oxford…
