Emma
Watson Dating Rugby Hunk

Harry Potter star
Emma Watson is dating a 16-year-old up-and-coming rugby player, according
to reports.
The 17-year-old actress was photographed enjoying a romantic break on
the French Riviera with handsome sportsman Tom Ducker.
And the staff at their Nice hotel described the young couple as
"delightful guests".
During the French holiday, the couple spent their time perusing Nice's
swanky art shops, and Watson spotted a #15,000 ($30,000) painting, reading
"Je suis incognito ici, faites le savoir" (I'm incognito here,
tell everybody), which she offered to buy in cash immediately.
Owner Ali Abdelhafidh says, "Emma fell in love with it and offered
to buy it there and then. The words on the piece seemed to sum up her
evening. But sadly it just wasn't for sale, so she posed for a photo next
to the picture instead."
Despite the reports, Ducker's parents have laughed off rumors of any
romance between the pair, insisting the relationship is nothing more than
platonic.
John Ducker, "They are just friends - don't read anything more
into it than that. My wife and I have met Emma once or twice. She is a
lovely young lady."
