We learned earlier this year that Emma Watson, 26, had quietly begun dating Mack Knight. You can go here to see pics of him. The couple was first spotted together at a performance of Hamilton in October. Mack is a self-described tech and business entrepreneur who loves outdoor activities like hiking and running marathons. He is also nine years older than Emma. After they confirmed their relationship, they kind of crawled back into the woodwork and most of us forgot about them. Since then, Emma took a break from acting to learn about feminism. But is there more on her agenda for her down time? According to OK! Magazine, the couple are “madly in love” and want to sneak off to marry without anyone finding out.
Emma Watson has found a keeper. The actress is planning on settling down with her hunky boyfriend, William Mack Knight, and it’s easy to see why!
While Emma is nine years younger than William, they have at least one thing in common—they are both really smart. Emma went to Brown University, while William, a tech guru, went to both Princeton and Columbia Business School.
Also, he’s exactly what she’s looking for! “He’s totally her type—geeky, fun and well educated. And her family absolutely adores him,” a source told OK! exclusively. He’s also quite handsome and in shape, thanks to his passion for hiking and running marathons
And a source told OK! exclusively that though they’ve dated for less than one year, “they’re madly in love.” The two went public with their romance after they attended a Broadway show of Hamilton together in October.
The insider said it will be “private and low-key. The goal is to keep it quiet till it’s done and dusted. “
Despite what this article writes, ‘William’ goes by Mack and I still contend that Mack Knight is such a cool name, I’d probably marry him for that alone. If this is true, it is an accelerated romance but who knows what’s going on as they have been so low key about their relationship. A New Year’s Eve wedding would mean they were together about a year by the time they wed. My folks met, engaged, married and got pregnant inside a year. 54 years later they are still going strong. If Emma did plan to get married under the radar that’s somewhat spoiled now.
In addition to maybe getting secretly married, new Academy invitee Emma is going through somewhat of a media transformation as well. Her new movie, The Colony (which opened this past weekend with a total box office take of 47 pounds), includes a love scene between Emma and Daniel Brühl. Emma says people are still not ready to accept her as a sexual being so they kind of flip out when she kisses someone onscreen. Since Emma is not shy about her sexuality – like openly discussing belonging to the progressive women’s site OMGYES – she no longer wants to be seen as a pre-teen unfit for kissing. With that in mind, it makes this video of her getting embarrassed during a promotional interview for The Colony even funnier. As she is talking, her phone starts ringing with her “Steamy Windows” by Tina Turner ringtone. If the public doesn’t want to see her kissing, I can imagine they’re not ready for her to get married.
If any of you belong to Emma’s feminist book club Our Shared Shelf, the July/August selection is Carrie Brownstein’s Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir.

I hope this is true. I want to see photos of her wedding dress.
doubt that wil ever happen. she usually makes her boyfriends walk behind her and very little affection in public. i would be highly surprised if we ever have pics of that. (if she even wants to marry)
I could see a pic or two being released in a fashion mag a month or so after it happened. I like when celebs let everything die down and then give a brief glimpse.
she has never adressed any partner and said if you ever open the door to that you wont be able to close it.
as of now i really respect her privacy because unlike other celebs she does not talk about it in interviews, does not mention it on social media and does not pose on red carpets with them. in candids when she knows there are paps the guys walk behind her and you dont see any pda. she also only dates non famous men.
if you want privacy you cant do something like that. she is going to great lengths to not have her love life in the press.
maybe the dress, at maximum. emma would have to fundamentally change her view on privacy and her love life if she agrees to publish ANY pictures of it.
Wow she’s beautiful! That’s all I got here haha.
she is way too private and goes to way too great lenghts to hide her boyfriends for ok mag knowing that now. they even write “The goal is to keep it quiet till it’s done and dusted.“
gossip cop denied it.

Nice to see someone out there values privacy, intimacy, and keeping it real.
If you amalgamate the good aspects of the stereotypical “bro” I feel like this guy fits it to a T. From his name to the photos in that link. He’s. Just. So. Bro! As long as Emma is happy than great. I’ll always have a soft spot for the Harry Potter Kids.
I find her boring. And I don’t think the general public cares to see her kiss someone or not?? Like is that really a thing they’re saying? Kissing at this point in time is almost quite meaningless
Mack Knight sound like the name of a burger. Not cool at all.
She’s so pretty, but not that great of an actress. Not great at all. As much as I like that feminism because such a huge talking point in the past few years, and good for her for speaking about it, I do think she did it for her career too. She wouldn’t be in the media at all if it wasn’t for that.
She is very basic looking to me. Plain jane but achieves “cute” with wardrobe and makeup. I hope she’s happy with this Frat Bro guy.
I think Watson’s adult career will be in better shape after Beauty and the Beast makes over a billion dollars.
Colonia or Colony is a very good movie. Give it a try.
Perfect DJ name, just add a 2….Mack 2 Knight.
Great. Now I want a Big Mac.
I like Emma Watson so much. I just wish she were a better (even tolerably bad would do) actor.
Well there is that. But it sounds like she has taken some time off to think about other things she likes doing. Maybe she recognizes herself that this isn’t her strength.
I thought she was good in Perks of Being a Wallflower and tolerable in Bling Ring.
Colonia was good, but my Imaginary German Husband Daniel Brühl took the lead on all kissing/romance. She just woodenly took it. It was weird. I wasn’t sure if it was an age thing, or if she is just that uncomfortable displaying affection on screen. It was painful.
