AceShowbiz - Emma Watson's new mystery man has been revealed. The 34-year-old actress, known for her iconic role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" movie series, is reportedly dating Kieran Brown, a fellow student at Oxford University.

While Emma pursues a part-time Master's degree in creative writing, Kieran is working on his PhD in 19th-century literature and economics. According to sources, their shared academic interests have created a strong bond between them.

A source told The Sun, "Emma is studying creative writing and his thesis is all about literary theory - so they have a lot to talk about. She looks so loved up with Kieran."

The couple was recently seen enjoying a romantic date at Gail's Bakery in Jericho, Oxford, where they looked thoroughly comfortable in each other's company. An observer noted, "They were chatting together in the queue, they seemed to have quite a nice vibe. She didn't seem to try to be hiding herself, she was just queuing with him normally. Nobody really reacted to her, but I could see people in the shop recognized her."

Kieran, who sported a relaxed blue linen shirt, and Emma, dressed casually in a beige cable-knit jumper, dark red scarf, and a backwards navy baseball cap, seemed unbothered by onlookers. It appears Emma is allowing herself some well-deserved relaxation as her academic term comes to an end.

Emma split from her ex Brandon Green, son of business tycoon Sir Philip Green, over a year ago. Their relationship had been "serious," involving family meetings and vacations, but ultimately ended. Emma hinted that personal growth and self-realization during her "Saturn return" might have been the catalyst for their breakup.

Currently, Emma divides her time between the U.S. and Oxford, attending lectures with security in tow and completing much of her coursework online. This new chapter in her life seems to be bringing both personal and professional fulfillment. Despite her busy schedule, Emma appears to be happier than ever in her new relationship with Kieran.
