Emma Watson Announces She’s ‘Self-Partnered’ And Clarifies What It Means

Emma Watson, best known for Harry Potter, introduced the term ‘self-partnered’ in a 2019 British Vogue interview. She admitted, “I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel… It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered.” Watson clarified that while she still dates, she isn’t committed to one person.

Watson avoids dating apps, preferring setups by friends. “My friends are great at setting me up… Some of my closest friends are people I originally went on dates with that didn’t work out,” she shared. Psychologist Carla Marie Manly supports this mindset, explaining, “A self-partnered individual doesn’t rely on a relationship for fulfillment.”

Watson follows in the footsteps of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, who coined ‘conscious uncoupling.’ Therapist Travis McNulty highlights a shift in how relationships are being redefined, as younger generations prioritize independence.

Manly emphasizes the importance of being comfortable alone. Engaging in activities like dining solo or volunteering can help build confidence and foster independence.
