Are Emma Watson And Chord Overstreet Officially A Couple?

There seems to be a new man striking a "Chord" in Emma Watson's heart. 

The Harry Potter actress fueled dating rumors in the past when she was spotted spending some alone time—and looking happy doing so—with Glee actor and singer Chord Overstreet.

For the record, neither of them have actually talked about each other, not in a romantic way, and not even in the classic "we're just good friends" way celebrities go for when dodging questioning about their love lives. 

It's just that in February, the two were spotted having a blast at a Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats show held at the Troubadour in February, and again in March's post-Oscars Vanity Fair party when they exited together.

Their most recent sighting shows them strolling down LA casually, but this time, Emma and Chord weren't just hanging out alone, but also HHWW, or to translate that, holding hands while walking—in public, where these two superstars probably already know photographers and fans alike are always ready to snap photos of potentially telling celebrity moments just like this one.  

Are we taking this as a mini sign of their big relationship reveal in the works? Is there going to be a wizarding world/good old American high school cross over?

If indeed, Emma's new (or soon-to-be) boyfriend is Chord, it'll be her first relationship since she split with Silicon Valley's William "Mack" Knight, a 37-year-old tech entrepreneur whom she dated for almost two years until November 2017. 

To add to the speculation, neither Emma nor Chord has posted photos of them together on their social media accounts (as opposed to how Sophie Richie announced her new relationship with Scott Disick, or how a photo of Katy Perry wearing a onesie with ex-boyfriend Orlando Bloom's face all over it is making the rounds online).

And in this day and age, when it's not Instagram official, nothing is set in stone just yet. We'll just have to wait and see, but we have our fingers crossed because, how can we not? They look oh so adorable together!
