Here’s what we know about her rumored romance with Gonzalo Hevia Baillères—who happens to be heir to a billion-dollar dynasty.
Emma Watson may have found the magic of love with someone new. According to several Spanish outlets and a recent tip from DeuxMoi, the actor and activist is reportedly linked to Mexican businessman Gonzalo Hevia Baillères as of February 2026.
Per photos obtained by Quien, Emma and her rumored beau were spotted getting cozy at the airport. DeuxMoi’s tipsters also alleged that the pair has attended a wedding in Mexico together.
But, before we get into all that, who even is Gonzalo? Spoiler alert: he comes from a billion-dollar dynasty and is a pretty big deal in the Latin American business world. Ahead, find all the details on Emma Watson’s rumored boyfriend,
Gonzalo is an AI executive
The Mexican businessman is the founder and CEO of Lok, a technology company that specializes in artificial intelligence. He also works with Chazki, a technology-driven delivery company, and Coca-Cola Femsa, the corporation behind Mexican Coke’s iconic glass bottles.
He is an heir to a billion-dollar dynasty
Aside from the success of his own business endeavors, Gonzalo’s grandparents, Teresa Gual and Alberto Baillères, became incredibly wealthy thanks to their mining company, Industrias Penoles. They also own Grupo Bal and El Palacio de Hierro department stores, which are essentially the Mexican equivalent of Saks Fifth Ave.
Because of this, the Baillèreses have a combined billion-dollar net worth, making them the fourth-richest family in Mexico, and, according to Forbes, the tenth-richest in all of Latin America. According to several reports, the family’s net worth could be anywhere from $6.65 billion to $19.7 billion. While the exact amount is unclear, we do know that they’re loaded.
He seems to maintain a low profile and stay offline
Yep. Gonzalo is so low-key that a photo of this man barely exists on the internet!
There is a private Instagram account attached to his name, but it’s unclear whether it belongs to him. The account has just over 1,000 followers, and the profile photo is Takashi Murakami’s animated bear from Kanye West’s Graduation album cover art (???).

Gonzalo reportedly dated Spanish-Mexican singer Belinda Peregrín

According to Remezcla, Gonzalo dated Spanish-Mexican singer and actor Belinda Peregrín from late 2022 to early 2024. Oh, and fun fact for our Disney Channel fans out there: Belinda starred as Marisol in The Cheetah Girls 2.
In 2025, eagle-eyed fans speculated that Belinda’s scathing diss track, “Hereocromía,” may have alluded to her relationship with Gonzalo as she sings about a classist “old money” ex who comes from generational wealth.
In Spanish, she sings, “Tú eres old money, te dicen ‘Bunny’ / Y tu palacio me lo paso por el booty,” which could potentially be a reference to El Palacio de Hierro.
Gonzalo first sparked dating rumors with Emma in February 2026
Yep. A DeuxMoi tipster claimed the pair attended a wedding in Mexico in the February 1 edition of the outlet’s Sunday Spotted series, and alleged that Gonzalo didn’t “have the best reputation when it comes to how he’s treated his ex-girlfriends.” Nothing has been fully confirmed, so take this with a grain of salt.
Then, on March 4, Quien posted a photo of the couple at the airport together.
Neither Emma nor Gonzalo has confirmed the nature of their potential connection, but we’ll be keeping an eye on the low-key pair for any updates.
