Harry Potter and Beauty and the Beast actress Emma Watson has returned to social media, after months of rumors swirling surrounding her personal life. The actress and activist recently took to Twitter to address said rumors, which had claimed everything from her being engaged to her retiring from acting. In a series of tweets, Watson promised that she’ll “share” news as soon as she has it, and revealed how she’s quietly spending the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dear Fans, Rumours about whether I’m engaged or not, or whether my career is “dormant or not” are ways to create clicks each time they are revealed to be true or untrue.

If I have news - I promise I’ll share it with you.

In the mean time please assume no news from me just means I’m quietly spending the pandemic the way most people are - failing to make sourdough bread (!), caring for my loved ones and doing my best not to spread a virus that is still affecting so many people.

I am sending so much love to you, hoping you’re ok and as well and happy as you can be in these strange times. And again, thank you to everyone working so hard to keep us safe and well. E Xx
