Harry Potter’s Emma Watson’s mystery man revealed as millionaire tech tycoon

Emma Watson is best known for finding fame playing the role of Hermione Granger in the iconic Harry Potter film franchise

Harry Potter’s Emma Watson’s mystery man has finally been revealed as a millionaire tech tycoon.

The pair have been spotted together as they enjoy the Italian sunshine in Pisa as we enter autumn. Emma dressed in leggings with a jumper tied around her waist as she enjoyed a day out with her rumoured new partner to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The mystery man is said to be Camila Cabello’s ex-boyfriend who is known as Austin Kevitch. He certainly won’t be intimidated by Emma’s fortune has he quite the net worth himself. Austin works as a relationship guru as he is the CEO of the dating app Lox Club.

The Daily Mail reported that Emma’s trip with her new man comes soon after it was thought that she might announce that she was engaged to her long-term boyfriend Kieran Brown.

Meanwhile, Emma’s rumoured new beau Austin used to date Camila for eight months, with the pair being together in early 2023.

In a turn of events, Austin and Emma’s reported ex Kieran both went to the University of Cape Town in South Africa back in 2013, but it is not known if they were friends. Emma and Kieran are said to have split up earlier this year after she met him studying part time for a masters degree at Oxford University.

It is unknown if the new couple met through Austin’s dating app or not. Lox has a membership committee that carefully examines each application and limits the number of swipes a user can make to between six and 12 in each eight hour period so as to help people make “real connections”.

Just earlier this month, fans thought Emma could be engaged to her ex-boyfriend as she was seen wearing a vintage-style diamond ring on her wedding finger at Paris Fashion Week. She was first linked with Kieran a year ago when they were spotted kissing in Oxford.

This is where Emma is studying for her creative writing degree and he is an economics and literature lecturer. However, the actress spoke on The Jay Shetty Podcast where she confirmed she wasn’t engaged and added she would not be pressured into tying the knot as it’s seen as the conventional thing to do.

Speaking about the ring she said: “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. 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.”

Emma has been open about her feminist views over the years as well as her support of trans rights. She also mentioned in the interview that her public support for trans rights did not mean she had turned against Harry Potter author JK Rowling who has spoken out about trans people in the past.

Big Brother’s Nasty Nick unrecognisable after fleeing UK and changing his name

The first housemate to get kicked out of the Big Brother house for his manipulative behaviour is living a life far away from what we saw on our screens 25 years ago

As the UK gather around their screens to watch the latest series of Big Brother, we’re reminded of when it first launched 25 years ago and nobody could predict what would happen – not even one of the show’s first contestants – Nick Bateman.

In 2000, Bateman helped to put this new reality TV concept on the map as he quickly became a character people couldn’t stop talking about. Dubbed as ‘Nasty Nick’, he was seen manipulating his fellow housemates and influencing their nominations before the entire house confronted him.

After being the only contestant never to receive a single nomination for eviction, things were quick to turn around. His sneaky behaviour resulted in the show’s producers deciding to remove him from the house entirely, after 34 days in the competition.

Decades later, the 57-year old’s life couldn’t look more different to that of the London broker we first met in 2000. After gaining fame for being ‘nasty’ across the UK, Nick has changed his name and moved to the other side of the world. Living in Australia, Nick Bateman has since reverted back to his real name of Jack and leads a relatively quiet life.

While he may carry some regrets about his time on TV back in the day, he opened up to Heart Bingo about the decisions that led him to a life so far away from that of Nasty Nick. When asked if he carries any regrets about his time on the show, Nick told Heart Bingo said: “I’d do it all exactly the same because it brought me here to Australia, so I wouldn’t change that for the world.

“I think everything happens for a reason. I’m a great believer in pre-destination and in making decisions and then being responsible for that. So, yeah, I wouldn’t change it.”

Talking about the move, he said: “I first came here when I was younger and fell in love with the country, so I think it would have always happened.

“It’s one of those countries that’s so progressive, and you can start your life again at any age and reinvent yourself. People are just happy and smiling. There’s fresh air and better food and no animosity from other people.

“I’m happier here than I would be anywhere else. I won’t go back to England.” As for work, the ex-reality star now dabbles in a multitude of things, explaining that he works across marketing, sales, and promotions for companies.

After leaving the show, Nick found love in 2007 when he married a fashion magazine writer, Lynnette Peck, and in 2011 went into business with her. Three years later, they kickstarted Lovely’s Vintage Emporium but after the couple split Nick parted ways with the business that has since made waves in women’s fashion.

He had plenty of criticisms for the show as it airs today, in comparison to the original ‘social experiment’ he was a part of. He said: “It’s nearing the point where either the channel has to accept something isn’t working or they have to go back to the original producers.”

The 57-year-old suggested maybe instead they cast the show without telling applicants what it is, to avoid those simply looking for fame. “People are using the show as a vehicle for their social media careers,” he explained.

Liam Payne’s sister’s thinly-veiled dig at Kate Cassidy a year after late star’s death

It was announced in October 2024 that former One Direction star Liam Payne had died after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina, a year later the world is still in shock

Liam Payne’s sister has reportedly made a dig at Kate Cassidy a year after her brother’s death. The musician died in October 2024 after he fell from a balcony at a hotel in Argentina.

Kate was back in the US when her boyfriend died and has been open about her grieving process over the last year. However, she has also received a lot of backlash from fans who have disagreed with how she has been grieving.

Liam’s sister has now released a statement where she has spoken about how she and her family have been coping with Liam’s death over the last 12 months. Taking to social media, Ruth shared a four page tribute to Liam where she explained that the family haven’t been doing well.

She also mentioned “some” people want to “gain fame” from Liam’s death, with many thinking this could be a dig at his ex-girlfriend. Ruth said: “Everyone only seems interested in the public side of this, some sadly seems more interested in the fame they can gain off this, but on the human side people need to remember when they speak, there is a son without his dad, parents without their child and I am lost without my brother.

“Love always Liam, in every lifetime,” Ruth wrote at the end of the headline. Some fans on social media think that the fame comment was aimed at Kate, with one person saying: “The SHADE about people trying to gain fame over his death!!! love her.”

While a second wrote: “I love how she subtly clapped back at those gaining fame using Liam’s passing! But man her saying I hope to get the chance to be your sister in every lifetime, that shattered me.”

Kate has stayed active on her social media pages since Liam died, as well a being interviewed by multiple outlets.

Kate was interviewed by Lorraine Kelly on ITV in March 2025. It is unknown whether Kate was paid to do the appearance or not where she spoke about the programme’s March4March campaign which encourages viewers to walk outdoors for an extra 10,000 steps per week to help their mental health.

At the time, Kate said that she was still referring to her boyfriend in the present tense which helped with her “healing journey”. Speaking on the show, she said: “It’s hard for me to refer to him in the past tense, and when I do refer to him in the past tense it almost stings that little bit more because it just… it’s more official.

“I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense, and it’s something where I don’t even feel the need to correct myself, because that’s part of my healing journey that I’m still working on accepting the fact he’s not here any more. I never thought I would be talking about him in the past tense, so it’s definitely really hard to accept.”

Just a month before in February, Kate spoke out for the first time about Liam in an interview with The Sun. It was reported that she allegedly received a five-figure sum for the interview, but this has not been confirmed.

Kate approached the subject that she was not there when Liam had died as she had travelled back to their home in Florida. At the time, rumours emerged that the pair had a fall out, but Kate denied this and said she had actually gone home to look after their dog Nala.

She told The Sun: “I had a responsibility, we had a responsibility. We had our dog and obviously I never, ever thought this event would occur.

“It was a tragic accident and no, I never did think (he might die young). But, you know, we did have our own separate lives — this wasn’t the first time we have travelled separately. I just never thought this would have happened, that it would turn out the way it did.”

Similar to her other interviews, Kate spoke about her grief with podcast star Jay Shetty. It has not been disclosed how much the influencer was paid for the appearance.

She discussed how they first met when she was a waitress to New Jersey up to how she thought she would spend the rest of her life with the star. Kate opened up to Shetty about the moment she heard the news of Liam’s death.

She was in their shared home in Florida with their dog when she received a call from one of his friends. Kate had been there waiting for him to return home.

Kate has been making money through various brand deals on Instagram and monetised Snapchats. She revealed that she spent the lead-up to his one-year anniversary of his death on a brand trip to “keep her mind positive” and “busy”.

In a video shared on TikTok this week, Kate discussed her plans while getting ready for her day. She said: “I am getting ready to go on a trip. I’m obviously transparent and open about my life on social media. I have been for a while now. This week hasn’t been the easiest week and it’s not going to be the easiest week.

“I have so many mixed emotions and my grief comes in so many waves. No matter what I do, I get commentary so if I make this video, people are going to be like, ‘Of course she had to make this video’, but if I didn’t make this video and just went on a trip, people would be like ‘What is she doing? How is she not in bed crying?'”

She added: “Doing nothing for me and laying in bed and sitting around the house does absolute not good things for my head space. It reminds me of the really dark place I was in last year and I finally am starting to see the light again in life.”

Kate went on to reveal she received an offer to go on a “wholesome” brand trip for two nights, with the itinerary including brunch, pilates, and poolside hangouts. One of her close friends, who also lost her partner, would join her on the trip.

Kate Garraway’s latest The Traitors accessory is under £10 and in stock

It seems Kate Garraway has found a clever way to shop as she scores a knitwear accessory from the junior section

The only disappointment we have with the Celebrity edition of The Traitors is that it only shows on our screens two nights a week, which hardly feels like enough to watch the drama and the fashion unfold. This week, Paloma Faith admitted to packing six suitcases full of looks she didn’t get the time to wear on the BBC show, while Tom Daly also revealed a giant Antler suitcase packed with some fabulous fits on his own Instagram.

So, when a fashion moment does pop up from one of the stars, you can be sure we’re taking note because who knows how many more our favourite players have to show? Last night, it was Kate Garraway’s turn to pull focus with an accessory that you can shop for under £10 (take note, Claudia!).

Kate was sporting what looks to be H&M’s Detailed Rib Knit Beanie in the red shade, £8.99. Complete with mini red bows, the hat looked incredibly pretty sat atop of Kate’s bronde tresses. However, it seems like the GMB presenter picked it up from H&M’s junior section, because the hat only comes in a 6-10 year size. A savvy shopping hack or just something she borrowed from her daughter? who knows, but we love the look on her.

Kate is bang on trend with her accessory choice, considering bows are having a huge moment as we near party season. Emblazoned on jumpers, dresses, shoes and hats, it’s a coquette trend that isn’t quite so sugary sweet, thanks to this season’s colour palette veering towards the deep, rich tones rather than pinks.

If you fancy getting involved in the bow trend for yourself, but you’re worried your head size is a little large for Kate’s hat pick, there are plenty of other styles to add to your baskets.

Girls Aloud Nicola Roberts shares very unexpected secret of her ageless skin

The Girls Aloud star shared one unusual thing that is part of her beauty routine – that you might expect to see in a war-time pantry more than a celebrity’s bathroom cupboard.

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts revealed her ultra-simple three-step skincare routine, including one very unusual product you might not think you can use on your face.

Nicola, who is currently performing on the West End stage as Persephone in the musical Hadestown, said her skin is suffering from what feels like “inches of thick makeup” slathered on her face every night. Her skin saviour? Beef Tallow, or beef dripping.

The 39-year-old told a panel at Aveeno’s Aging Gratefully event: “I can’t face the prospect of a 16-step skincare routine. I go on social media and just see these women’s faces glistening with product.

“I just remove my makeup and cleanse with beef tallow, use the moisturiser [Aveeno’s age renewal face cream] and use an SPF on top of that.”

More commonly associated with war-time calorie hoarding, or crisping up roast potatoes, beef dripping is the fat that drips from a joint of beef during roasting once it has cooled and solidified, as per 1900s.org.

Available for £10 at Ocado or Holland & Barrett, this is a surprisingly cheap option and will be available in a range of supermarkets. Speaking about her new routine since joining the Hadestown cast, Nicola said she spends her Mondays off “just sleeping.”

The singer-songwriter also spoke about feeling more comfortable with herself and aging in her late 30s. She said: “When I was younger looking at fashion magazines all the girls would be like ‘I love her face’ or ‘I love her hair’- but I couldn’t relate to the girls in these pictures because I didn’t recognise myself in them.

She shared her biggest beauty regret from her twenties was trying to assimilate to these girls in magazines – and this included using fake tan.

“Stepping into myself has really only happened in the last few years. That could just be an age thing where you just care less. But it’s such a nice place to be in. When I speak to younger girls, I’m just like ‘you will get there – you sink into yourself finally.’”

It was rumoured Nicola would be joining the cast of Strictly Come Dancing before fans were confused to see her name missing form the line up.

During an interview with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2, Nicola expressed her admiration for the production she is currently starring in, which is based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, calling it a “true masterpiece”.

While discussing her new venture, Nicola said: “I start on Monday, it’s very daunting, I went to see the show again on Friday and it’s just unbelievable. They’re so tight and just fantastic.”
