Now, though, she has been in a relationship with Robinton since April 2020, many fans have been wondering: Are they engaged?
Emma shares her thoughts on the engagement rumors
Emma Watson shut down the engagement rumors, and she has not, in fact, taken her current relationship with Robinton to this next level.
On Monday, May 17, the star turned to Twitter to clear up any confusion, writing, "Dear Fans, Rumours about whether I'm engaged or not, or whether my career is "dormant or not" are ways to create clicks each time they are revealed to be true or untrue."
In a follow-up tweet, she added, "If I have news – I promise I'll share it with you." The star closed her announcement, with a final tweet, which read, "I am sending so much love to you, hoping you're ok and as well and happy as you can be in these strange times. And again, thank you to everyone working so hard to keep us safe and well. E Xx."
Of course the tweets were met with grace and acceptance from her loyal fanbase, but mostly excitement from fans who were ecstatic to see Watson even using social media, as she is rarely active on her Twitter profile.
