Emma Watson was spotted with her rumoured billionaire boyfriend, Gonzalo Hevia Baillères, in affectionate moments in Mexico. The actress has been linked to the Mexican billionaire since the end of 2025 after they were reportedly seen travelling together in Europe.

Recently, the two were photographed kissing at the airport, shopping, and having dinner in Mexico City and Punta Mita. Although neither of them has confirmed their relationship, the images have ignited the relationship rumour between the two. Here is everything you need to know about Watson's rumoured billionaire boyfriend.

Intimate Sightings in Mexico

Over several weeks, multiple photo spreads and eyewitness accounts have placed Watson and Baillères together in Mexico, including Mexico City and the luxury resort area of Punta Mita. In the most recent set of images, the pair were seen kissing at an airport in Mexico. PEOPLE reported that the two had attended a wedding in Mexico together.

Media coverage described the pair as appearing relaxed in public settings. The Harry Potter star was also seen sharing drinks and dinner with Baillères at a restaurant.

For years, Watson has kept her life and relationship private, while balancing a high-profile acting career, education in Oxford, and activism.

On Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in September 2025, Watson said that dating in the spotlight has been hard, 'It does feel like my avatar enters the room unexpectedly all of a sudden,' adding, 'And that can feel really dehumanising. Seeing someone's behaviour completely switch, turn, and change can be kind of a jarring experience.

Who is Gonzalo Hevia Baillères?

Baillères is a graduate from Tecnológico Autónomo de México with a degree in economics and went on to launch his own smart locker company, Lok, in 2021, specialising in artificial intelligence.

In 2024, his tech company merged with Chazki, a company focused on transportation and delivery services for e-commerce and retail. To this day, he serves as the CEO of LOK, per Cosmopolitan.

He's also worked with Coca-Cola Femsa, which creates the Mexican Coke glass bottles.

Baillères has a rare physical trait called heterochromia, which results in a person having two different eye colours or variations of colour within one or both eyes. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the condition can be present at birth or develop later in life due to injury, illness, or certain medications, and is usually harmless.
