Emma Watson recently shared that she has a keen interest in kink culture, adding to the many aspects of her personal life that have made headlines. One of these moments was when she introduced the term ‘self-partnered’ to describe her status as not single but content with herself. Emma explained that this term helped her to navigate the societal expectations of being married with children by a certain age, a pressure that she experienced as she approached her thirties. This term resonated with many individuals who also felt the weight of societal pressures, giving a voice to those who were struggling to articulate their feelings.

In an interview with a publication, the actress shared her fascination with kink culture, praising their strong communication skills and emphasis on consent. She explained that creating the term “self-partnered” was more about defining a feeling she couldn’t quite articulate before. While some people were upset by it, Emma felt that the term allowed her to express herself better. Despite claiming to be content with being single, Emma was seen sharing a kiss with an unknown man outside a bakery in London shortly before her interview with British Vogue.

The actress from Beauty and The Beast was recently seen with Dominic Piazza in August, sparking dating rumors. She also had a short relationship with 40-year-old former Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe. Last year, there were rumors about Emma dating her Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton, known for his role as Draco Malfoy. They shared a photo on Instagram of a guitar lesson together in South Africa, prompting fans to suggest cute couple names like ‘Dramione’ and ‘Feltson’. However, Tom denied the dating rumors and praised Emma as a smart and lovely person, mentioning that he is also content being single. Emma’s past relationships include Glee actor Chord Overstreet, but they called it quits after half a year.
