The pictures confirm it. British actress Emma Watson and Mexican businessman Gonzalo Hevia Baillères have been in a relationship since December 2025. According to photographs published by Quién magazine, the couple have been spotted dining in Mexico City, vacationing in Punta Mita, and kissing inside a Mexican airport.
According to the magazine, the first recorded appearance of the couple was at the Courchevel ski resort in the French Alps at the end of last year. The resort is famous, among other things, for having the steepest international airport in the world. Shortly afterwards, the couple visited Punta Mita, in Nayarit, west of México, one of the most exclusive areas on the Mexican Pacific coast.
According to the magazine, the actress and businessman were in Mexico City recently. However, it is difficult to tell from the photographs whether they were taken in the Mexican capital, on the coast, or somewhere else: the images are blurred or have a motion‑blur effect, as if the shutter had been pressed at the exact moment the camera was moved. What can be made out, however, are the faces of the lovers.

This isn’t the first time the Mexican businessman has been romantically linked to someone from the entertainment world. In 2022, social media accounts and media outlets said that Hevia was in a relationship with Belinda Peregrín Schüll, a Mexican actress and singer. Neither of them ever confirmed the relationship, but photographs also hinted at the romance.
In 2025, Belinda released the song Heterocromía, in which she mocks the luxuries of the upper class in Mexico. The name of the song refers to a condition where the iris of each eye is a different color, either completely or partially. Hevia has this condition.
Gonzalo Heiva Baillères, 28, belongs to one of Mexico’s wealthiest families, the Baillères, owners of the insurance companys GNP and Profuturo, the luxury department stores Palacio de Hierro, the mining and metallurgical group Industrias Peñoles, the brokerage firm Valmex, among other companies. He is heir to one of Mexico’s largest fortunes.
Emma Watson, 35, is a British actress who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, a series written by J. K. Rowling beginning in 1997 (with the first book) that went on to achieve immense popularity. In 2001, The Philosopher’s Stone reached movie theaters. Over the next 10 years, Warner Bros. produced eight films. The main actors, including Watson, played their characters throughout that decade, and although the actress has appeared in other films, she is most identified with her role as Granger.
