'Before 29 I hadn't even heard of a Saturn Return as a concept'
Brandon, 29, is known for his partying lifestyle and has previously dated several models. While the exact reasons for their split are unknown, it has been speculated that Watson had a personal epiphany connected to her "Saturn return." She had talked about doing self-reflection, going to counseling, surfing, and re-evaluating her life decisions in an Instagram post on her birthday in April. "This is 33. Holy moly. Before 29 I hadn't even heard of a Saturn Return as a concept. Let's just say that now I am well acquainted," she wrote.
She further wrote, "I cut my thumb nail off on both hands trying to cook for myself and then was only able to do things one-handed for months. I felt really sad and really p****d off about a lot of things. I learned more about love and being a woman. It took me three years but I have finally figured out a daily practice and can actually keep it for more than a few days in a row."
The concept of a "Saturn return" refers to a period when the planet Saturn returns to its position at the time of an individual's birth, typically occurring around ages 29, 58, and 84. Astrologers believe it symbolizes the end of one life cycle and the beginning of another, often accompanied by significant shifts in one's lifestyle, the outlet noted.
'The boyfriends or partners I've had have generally made me feel really cherished'
According to reports, Emma and Brandon were first spotted together in September 2021 while riding a helicopter in London's Battersea neighborhood. They got into a relationship after Emma split from Californian businessman Leo Robinton in 2021. Emma Watson has had a history of high-profile relationships with individuals from the tech and entertainment industries.
