However, it seems like the rumour mills have got it all wrong.

As per Entertainment Weekly, the actor`s manager cleared the air, putting an end to all such reports doing the rounds. Her manager, Jason Weinberg, denied the rumours, telling the publication in a statement, "Emma`s social media accounts are dormant but her career isn`t."

The 30-year-old star`s Instagram account bio currently reads, "Emma`s official Instagram page is currently dormant and is not being updated," while her profile picture is a simple black icon.

The actor had started trending on Thursday after an online report by a leading outlet alleged that Watson had retired from acting, leaving her fans distressed. The news hurt Watson`s fans who took to social media to remember her work. One fan claimed that her career didn`t get enough appreciation while another wrote, "She is one of my favs but it`s okay as long as she`s happy with her decision."

"Emma Watson retiring is something very personal to me. No, I will not be getting over this," tweeted another fan.

Watson was last seen in Greta Gerwig`s 2019 film `Little Women` opposite Saorise Ronan, Florence Pugh, Timothee Chalamet, Laura Dern, and Meryl Streep. She also acted in the 2017 thriller drama `The Circle` and `Beauty and the Beast`, which released in the same year.

In November last year, she made a rare public outing with her boyfriend Leo Robinton in London while grabbing coffee and walking around the city`s Primrose Hill neighbourhood. Their outing came over a year after the two were first spotted together in October 2019.

Watson`s beau Robinton was first identified in April of this year and is a businessman from Los Angeles, though little else is known about him.

He reportedly deleted all of his social media after photos of the two sharing a kiss surfaced last year. The couple has rarely been seen together since, though they appear to be going strong based on the recent outing.
