Emma Watson returned from her months-long social media hiatus to clear up rumors of her relationship status and career that have been swirling online.
“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,” she tweeted on Monday. “If I have news – I promise I’ll share it with you.”
The “Harry Potter” star, 31, then reassured her followers that her silence doesn’t mean she is hiding something from them.
“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,” she added in a separate tweet.
It was first believed that Watson was taking a break from the big screen back in February when her own agent told The Daily Mail that her career was “dormant” and she wouldn’t be taking on any new projects.
However, the actress’ manager quickly shut down those claims, clarifying, “Emma’s social media accounts are dormant but her career isn’t.”
Around that same time, rumors that Watson and her boyfriend, Leo Robinton, were engaged began after “The Bling Ring” star was spotted wearing a modest ring on her left hand.
Despite having to fight back false claims, Watson sent a positive message to her fans on Monday.
She tweeted, “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.”
