But, bless the universe because they actually were dating. The first picture of them popped up on Twitter after a fan posted the two of them looking loved up at a Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats concert at West Hollywood’s Troubadour. A month later, the two were spotted leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar party. In the paparazzi footage, you can see Emma leaving the party with Chord not too far behind. And if you look close enough, you'll notice that Emma is wearing an oversized suit jacket, which most likely belongs to Chord. A few months later, however, it looked like the relationship had come to an end, with a source close to the couple announcing the news to Page Six. Then less than a month later there was another picture of them kissing on an LA street. This sure seems proof that things are back to normal. Well done, Hermoine!
