Who is Leo Robinton? Meet Emma Watson's mystery 'boyfriend' photographed hugging her amid engagement rumors

She had admitted last year that being single was not easy at first but had coined the term 'self-partnered' to come to terms with her singlehood

Emma Watson, who turned 30 in April last year, was clearly enjoying her singlehood back then but looks like Cupid has finally struck as the British actress was most recently papped with her rumoured boyfriend Leo Robinton.

The actress' last long-term relationship ended in 2017 when she split with entrepreneur William Knight, and she had admitted last year that being single was not easy at first, but had coined the term "self-partnered" to come to terms with her singlehood.

In an interview with British Vogue, she had said, “If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out — there’s just this incredible amount of anxiety."

She added, “I never believed the whole, 'I'm happy single' spiel. I was like, 'This is totally spiel.' It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.” However, it now looks like the’ Harry Potter’ star has got lucky in love.

Watson was seen exiting with Robinton from the Los Angeles airport in California, according to Daily Mail.

It is believed that the rumored couple is yet to move-in together but as of now are living separately. It is also believed that the duo has been dating for about 18 months. They have been spotted together in Britain on several occasions near Emma Watson’s London home.

Who is Leo Robinton?

The Sun shed a bit of light on Robinton’s career and revealed that he is a businessman. The publication reported that Robinton is a Los Angeles businessman who used to work for a company that specialized in legal cannabis. He apparently resigned from his duties in June 2019, before he met Watson. Leo Robinton is the brother of Daisy Robinton, the 33-year-old model, molecular biologist and PhD holder who made Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Science list in 2017.

He also has three other siblings: a twin brother named Archer, an older brother named Charlie, 35, and a sister Lily, 36. Daisy once also shared a picture on her Twitter account with Robinton where he had participated in a Women’s March in Washington DC in 2017, according to a report by Elle.
