Harry Potter actress, Emma Watson is moving up in the ranks after her role in the live action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The star is very open about her career, feminism, sustainable fashion, and books she loves, but she refuses to speak publicly about her boyfriend because she values her privacy. However, according to reports, Emma Watson’s boyfriend in 2017 is William “Mack” Knight. Who is Emma Watson dating? Check out our William Mack Knight wiki to find out what is known about her beau.
Watson could very well become the highest paid actress above Jennifer Lawrence in 2017. It’s all thanks to her latest film, Beauty and the Beast, where she plays the much-loved Disney damsel, Belle. Aside from her salary, Watson will receive a cut of the movie’s global earnings. The live adaptation has already earned over $750 million worldwide—over half of it earned during its opening weekend. Her slice of the film is approximately $15.0 million, and combined with her salary of $2.5 million, she would top Lawrence’s $15.0 million spot on the chart!

In the February 2017 issue of Vanity Fair, Watson is confirmed that she has a boyfriend, however, she refuses to elaborate on him. According to reports, he’s 35-year-old “Mack,” he’s attractive, and works in the tech industry in Silicon Valley. According to People, he graduated from Princeton in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

After a year of dating, the couple had a “horrendous” breakup, as Watson stated in an interview with Vogue UK. She had to take a weeklong vow of silence to escape the drama. “I felt really uncomfortable,” she said. “Even before my relationship ended, I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself.”

She Likes Her Privacy
Although it is impossible to keep her personal life completely out of the media, Watson expressed to Vanity Fair, “I want to be consistent: I can’t talk about my boyfriend in an interview and then expect people not to take paparazzi pictures of me walking around outside my home. You can’t have it both ways.” She also keeps her love life out of the spotlight for the sake of her boyfriend, saying that part of any celebrity’s life can become part of the “performance and the circus” and that she would hate anyone she were with to feel as if they were “part of a show or an act.” Talk about wisdom and empathy! Watson is more than just a talented actress and a beautiful face, she is graceful, intelligent, and carries her self with elegance beyond her years.
