Harry Potter star Emma Watson has split from her boyfriend Brandon Green after 18-months, according to reports.

The actress, 33, has reportedly called time on her relationship with the son of British fashion businessman Sir Phillip Green, as per The Sun.

Sources told the MailOnline that the pair split some time after Christmas, following a “serious” romance which lasted around 18-months.

Emma and Brandon met each other’s parents and there were holidays including a romantic break in Venice.

Brandon, 29, is known for his partying lifestyle and had previously dated a string of models.

His romance with Emma appeared to be going in the right direction, but in an Instagram post on April 15 to mark her birthday, she wrote: “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 went on to write about how she had re-evaluated her life, adding: “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***ed off about a lot of things. I learnt 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.”

Emma and Brandon were first pictured together in September 2021, when they were seen on a helicopter in Battersea, London.

Their relationship came after Emma split from Californian businessman Leo Robinton in 2021.

She previously dated rugby player Tom Ducker and enjoyed serious relationships with fellow Oxford University students Will Adamowicz and Matt Janney.

She has also dated three young tech millionaires, including entrepreneur William ‘Mack’ Knight, but they split in 2017 after a two-year romance.

The actress then had a six-month relationship with Glee actor Chord Overstreet. They broke up during the summer of 2018.

She was then spotted sharing cocktails with tech CEO Brendan Wallace.

In an interview she said: “The boyfriends or partners I’ve had have generally made me feel really cherished. They’ve built me up.”
