Emma Watson was joined by her handsome billionaire boyfriend Gonzalo Hevia Baillères in Venice this week as the pair enjoyed a loved-up holiday together where they boarded a water taxi named Diva.
The actress, 36, was thought to be dating Kieran Brown last year, but has now moved on to the Mexican businessman.
Snaps of the couple showed them packing on the PDA while in the Mexico City airport while surrounded by security guards back in March this year as they confirmed their romance.
This week the pair headed to Venice together and were seen boarding a water taxi called Diva before zooming off.
Emma looked typically stylish in a red linen dress for the outing which she teamed with a smart black blazer.
Meanwhile Gonzalo looked dapper in a light blue shirt as he proved himself to be every inch the gentleman helping Emma down onto the Diva boat.
Emma has previously hit back at claims she is a ‘diva’ for speaking out about feminism and the gender pay gap in Hollywood.
She told TIME magazine in 2016: ‘We are not supposed to talk about money, because people will think you’re ‘difficult’ or a ‘diva.’
‘But there’s a willingness now to be like, ‘Fine. Call me a ‘diva’, call me a ‘feminazi’, call me ‘difficult,’ call me a ‘First World feminist’, call me whatever you want, it’s not going to stop me from trying to do the right thing and make sure that the right thing happens.’

Since confirming their romance back in March the couple have been seen multiple times throughout Mexico’s capital as well as on a getaway to the exclusive beach resort of Punta Mita.
Gonzalo’s family owned a multi-billion-dollar mining company and his grandfather Alberto Hevia Baillères, who died in 2022, was one of the richest men ever to live in the country with an estimated net worth of $8.6billion.
A source told the Daily Mail in March: ‘Widely regarded as one of Mexico’s most eligible bachelors, Gonzalo now appears to be deeply smitten and reportedly taking his relationship with Emma seriously – having already introduced her to his parents.
’Without a doubt, Gonzalo and Emma are shaping up to be one of 2026’s most unexpected power couples.’
Gonzalo is the grandson of Mexican billionaire Alberto Baillères, who died in 2022.
His family are the third wealthiest family in the country and are said to have a net worth of $19billion (£14.2billion).
Gonzalo’s grandfather founded Mexico’s huge conglomerate Grupo BAL, which owns the country’s second-largest mining firm and high end department store El Palacio di Hierro, which is comparable with Harrods.
The heir to the family fortune is currently working as a CEO of an investment firm, HBeyond, in New York and previously founded a smart locker network across Latin America, said to be worth $115million.
He was previously romantically linked with Spanish singer Belinda Peregrín before they broke up in 2024.
The source added: ‘Baillères has kept his romantic life largely private, with only a few public relationships.

‘Between 2023 and 2024, he was involved in a high-profile romance with Spanish-born, Mexican actress and singer Belinda.
‘The relationship ended in 2024, and according to sources, the breakup was difficult for the pop star.’
Neither Emma, known for her privacy, or Gonzalo has publicly confirmed their relationship.
In October, Emma was pictured enjoying a ‘romantic’ Italian sunshine getaway with tech tycoon Austin Kevitch.
The outing came just days after denying she was engaged, following speculation at the time that she was still in a relationship with boyfriend Kieran Brown.
The actress had set tongues wagging when she was pictured sporting a ring at the Miu Miu show in Paris Fashion Week that month.
However, she then said on The Jay Shetty Podcast last month that she isn’t engaged and will not be pressured into exchanging vows because it’s seen as the conventional thing to do.
Emma, who has described the pressure to marry as a ‘violence and cruelty’ against women, wore an impressive, vintage-style ring on her engagement finger while attending a Miu Miu catwalk show in the French capital which caused people to question if she was engaged.
But Emma said: ‘I guess having gone through this odyssey, which has been the last seven years, it was like, okay, I feel like I’ve got to a place, and this will continue forever, where I want to celebrate where I ended up after I left land, it felt like.
‘I did a ritual with, I guess just a day of celebrating with my friends and chosen family. They each bought me this ring, which has 22 petals on it, and each of them bought one.’
She added: ‘I’ve just never owned anything so valuable in my life because to me, it represents the life that I’ve built, which was the one that I really wanted, which was one that was made up of community and my roots and faith and trust.
‘In some funny way, it signals to me that even though I have no signs of my success, save for this crazy one-woman play I’ve written, I don’t even have my degree yet, it signals to me that for me, I achieved what I wanted to achieve for myself.’
Emma added: ‘I’m just so happy not to be divorced yet. That sounds like a really negative answer, but I think that we’re being pressured and forced into this thing that I believe is a miracle.
‘I might never be worthy of it. I hope it happens to me, but I don’t feel entitled to it. It will either be part of my purpose here and my destiny, or it won’t.
‘I think the way we treat it as though, Well, why haven’t you? This is something that has to happen in this certain time span and at this certain age in this way. It’s the least romantic thing I can possibly think of.’
‘Truly, if I had tried to get married any point, basically before about a year ago, it would have been carnage. I just didn’t know myself well enough yet. I didn’t have a clear enough idea of what my purpose, my vision, how I was going to be of service.
‘I didn’t know where I really felt like I needed to be. I think I have some of those answers now. So when I meet someone, I can say ‘Hi, I’m Emma. This is what I care about’.’
She added: ‘I think it’s such a violence and it’s such a cruelty on people, and especially young people, I think, and especially women, to make them feel like they have no worth or like they haven’t succeeded yet in life because they haven’t forced to its culmination, something that I just don’t think can or should ever be forced.
‘It’s something that, honestly, I feel like I’ve had to earn, I’ve had to work for to be in a place where I feel like I can look someone in the eye and be able to tell them who I am and to have some idea – and it will change and grow – of what I want and what I’m here to do.’
In July 2024, Emma was pictured locking eyes with fellow student Kieran while at a bakery in Oxford, and the pair were then seen enjoying a ‘really cute’ date in a country park together.
Emma, who is doing a part-time Master’s degree at Oxford, split from her ex-boyfriend Brandon Green, son of controversial business tycoon Sir Philip, in 2023, following a ‘serious’ romance which lasted around 18 months.
Both of them met each other’s parents and there were holidays including a romantic break in Venice.
Brandon had a reputation as a party-lover and previously dated a number of models. He was once caught patting Kate Moss’ bottom on holiday in St Barths.
It was rumoured that the catalyst for their split was that Emma had some kind of an epiphany connected to her ‘Saturn return’ and decided that she wanted out of the relationship.
