Emma Watson seems to have done a pretty good job of keeping her private life private, despite the paparazzi ready to pounce on any stumble. She is said to be highly intelligent. She's made enough money to be financially secure. She has probably had more success as a model than an actress since Harry Potter days, but on both the acting and modeling fronts, she has stayed classy. I wish her politics were other than what they are, but in general, she has behaved as I would wish more young celebrities did. I wish there were more Emma Watsons and fewer Miley Cyrus types.

As to relationships: I don't follow the gossip pages at all, but as a broad generalization, the professional circles in which she moves are incredibly toxic. If she has surveyed the pickings in the entertainment and fashion worlds and chosen to stay clear of predators, playboys, degenerates and freaks, she may not have much left to chose from. Especially since she's probably smarter than 98 percent of the men she meets, and richer than 90 percent of them. Maybe when her career slows down a bit, which should happen as she ages, she can find a smart, stable guy with a real world career far from the celebrity circuit and with his priorities in order. Looking at Hollywood, many of the celebrity marriages that last seem to involve one partner who is out of the fast track whirl and who can provide an anchor.

She's been quiet in the US press but the UK press has made a dog's dinner of her especially since she was caught up in the Panama Papers scandal (where the UK people get pissy when their wealthy class people don't pay "enough" in taxes towards the government) as well as tabloid mess when she was younger. They have taken pap photos of her, some good and some not-so-good, and some of her romantic entanglements have been bandied in the press, from guys in college when she was to others in business.

Those who have dealt with her privately speak of how she's rude and condescending towards those who aren't in her peer class. Maybe since she's aged out of the cutsie roles that go to any perky under-26 actress she might have some time to work on her acting skills (she's pretty one dimensional) and some time on her private life away from the limelight of Hollywood, including the realization that beauty fades.
