Emma Watson has said she prefers to call herself "self-partnered" rather than single as she approaches her 30th birthday.

Watson, 29, who rose to fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, coined the phrase in an interview with British Vogue in which she discussed the pressures of turning 30.

Speaking of how she had never believed the "'I'm happy single' spiel," she added: "It took me a long time, but I'm very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered."

The new phrase is reminiscent of actor Gwyneth Paltrow's use of the term "conscious uncoupling" to describe her divorce proceedings from the Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2014.

Pop culture dimness will brighten up...at lightning speed? I don’t know, but Kanye’s album was the first battle shot.

And there are literal battle shots in his signature song...

Funny! (hate to admit it but was thinking the same thing)

Oh you dirty Duck , LOL

I call it being self-partnered.

Did she make this up in her own head? Awww, that's just precious!

[Hoffer Rand]

While I support the notion that people need to know themselves and be comfortable in their own skins before embarking on “coupling” this is nothing more than “look at me” language. Congratulations, Emma, you managed a part of adulthood, something the rest of us achieve every day without a drooling media fawning over us.

Is she going to marry herself like Dennis Rodman did?

As good looking as she is, I would imagine she’s just unbearable to be in a room with. Self-important, condescending and strongly opinionated, though utterly lacking in knowledge or insight.

She is letting her hamster run free!

It doesn’t sound like much fun.

Honey, you’re single. Embrace it.

No, it doesn’t. Being single sounds pretty nice, though.

Does she get to file taxes as a married couple?
