Emma Watson was seen kissing billionaire Mexican entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Baillères in an airport in new photos on Wednesday, March 4, before they were seen on a dinner date together.
Watson, 35, and Baillères were spotted grabbing drinks together soon after. Other photos show the couple spending time together over dinner at an upscale restaurant. The pair were reportedly first seen spending time together in Courchevel in the French Alps in late 2025, Quién reports. They were then spotted in Punta Mita, a picturesque peninsula 10 miles north of Puerto Vallarta on the Mexican Pacific coast.
Baillères, a member of a high-profile Mexican business family, is linked to Grupo Bal, a conglomerate founded by Alberto Baillères, according to Cosmopolitan. The Baillères business empire has ties to mining, insurance, retail, and finance, including the department store chain El Palacio de Hierro, according to the outlet.
Baillères studied at the Swiss boarding school Le Rosey and at Ransom Everglades School in Miami, before resuming his education in Mexico at Colegio Vista Hermosa and Cumbres. He went on to graduate with a degree in Economics from ITAM, according to Us Weekly.
He currently serves as CEO of Lok, an AI tech company, Cosmopolitan reports.
From 2022 to 2024, Baillères was linked to Mexican pop star and actress Belinda, who notably starred in The Cheetah Girls 2, according to Remezcla. Belinda's 2025 song "Heterochromia" was speculated to reference Baillères, as the title refers to a condition that causes a person to have two different colored eyes, which Baillères has.
The lyrics reference a relationship with a person who comes from "old money," further leading fans to connect the song to Baillères, according to the outlet.
Prior to being linked with Baillères, Watson was most recently rumored to be dating Brandon Green, the son of fashion executive Sir Peter Green, in 2022.
During a September appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, Watson made a rare comment about her dating life, saying that she preferred to date people who aren't overly familiar with her work as an actress.
Speaking with Shetty, Watson said that she wants a potential partner to "appreciate my work, but I think knowing you don't have to navigate that extra degree of, like, weirdness is helpful, a relief."

"It's funny, occasionally people will apologize to me for the fact they've not seen my films. And I will be like, 'Please don't apologize. That is bliss to me.' Like, music to my ears that you're not going to constantly be navigating it," Watson said. "And me also navigating with you this projection of me, or this Emma Watson avatar-person will not be this ghost in the room."
