Emma Watson is rarely spotted outside of her advocacy/film work.

Yet over the weekend in frustratingly sunny LA, we clocked the actress holding hands with 29-year-old Glee alumni Chord Overstreet.

Wearing a cute, no doubt eco-friendly ensemble of black jeans and striped t-shirt, Watson clearly knows that you're never fully dressed without a smile.

Grinning from ear-to-ear, the 27-year-old looked extremely happy whilst out on a stroll.

Both known for their musical and acting talents, it's rumoured the pair have been dating for over a month.

The duo are said to have been seen leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, which also happens to be the same fateful evening she got that misspelled tattoo.

Fans have been circulating this image on Twitter, claiming it was taken at the beginning of last month:

However, we don't like to jump to conclusions, and the pair may simply be super friendly mates, who knows? Neither of them have commented on their apparent union.

Watson's last boyfriend was tech entrepreneur William Knight. The pair apparently ended their relationship around four months ago after two years of dating.

While Watson is much better known for her feminist advocacy and blockbuster films than her dating life, it's good to see she looks happy.
