Before her romance with the Mexican billionaire, Watson had claimed to be happily single. She said, “It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.” Moreover, she also opened up about the pressure of getting married while speaking to Jay Shetty.
She said, “I think we’re being pressured and forced into this thing that I believe is a kind of 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 the purpose here and my destiny or it won’t.”
Fans were happy with the new update on Watson’s relationship and wished the couple good luck. One X user commented, “Glad to see Emma’s doing well. If she’s happy, that’s all that matters. I don’t just say this as a fan, I say it because even though I’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting her(ongoing wish)in person, I’ve come to consider her a friend.”
