Emma Watson has sparked rumours she’s dating Glee actor Chord Overstreet.
The fiercely private Harry Potter actress was pictured holding hands with Chord – who played Sam Evans on the US TV show – during a day out in Los Angeles this week.
Rumours about Emma, 27, and Chord, 29, had been swirling after they were seen leaving an Oscars party together with friends on Sunday evening.
And now they have been pictured by Daily Mail holding hands and gazing at each other a few days later.

A source told People magazine that it’s still early days for the pair, but everything has been going really well so far.
“They have been dating for a little bit now, but it’s still pretty new,” said an insider.
“They met through friends. They might seem like an odd match but they actually have very similar personalities.”
However, another source played down the blossoming romance to New York’s Page Six, saying: “They are friendly, but are not in a relationship.”
Emma is best known for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film franchise, as well as roles in the likes of the live action Beauty and the Beast.
She’s also a staunch campaigner for women’s rights, serving as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. She helped launch the HeForShe campaign in 2014, which calls for gender equality.
Chord, meanwhile, found fame on teen comedy-drama Glee before going on to become a musician.

Emma is said to have split from previous boyfriend, William ‘Mack’ Knight, at the end of 2017 following a two-year relationship.
She’s always kept her private life away from the headlines as much as possible, preferring to keep the focus on her acting and charity work.
In an interview with Vanity Fair last year she said: “I want to be consistent: I can’t talk about my boyfriend in an interview and then expect people not to take paparazzi pictures of me walking around outside my home. You can’t have it both ways
“I’ve noticed, in Hollywood, who you’re dating gets tied up into your film promotion and becomes part of the performance and the circus. I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in any way part of a show or an act.”
