‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson splits from beau Will Adamowicz
Evanesco! Emma Watson and boyfriend Will Adamowicz’s relationship has vanished — and for a while now.
The “Harry Potter” actress, 23, who met Adamowicz, also 23, in 2011 while they were studying at Britain’s Oxford University, released a statement on the nulled romance through her rep.
“Emma and Will separated last summer and are no longer in touch,” the rep said via the U.K.’s Mirror, which initially reported the split on Sunday.

Friends told the paper that Watson’s hectic film schedule was the reason for the split, despite the couple nearly getting engaged.
The former Brown University colleagues went public with their relationship in April 2012 when they were photographed kissing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Watson complained to Glamour magazine in September 2012 about the paparazzi magnifying any and all relationships she was in.
“My friend got me tickets [to Coachella] for my birthday, and what am I going to say? ‘No, I’m not going to go because I don’t want to be photographed?’ But it was a huge crowd, and I thought there was no way anyone could get pictures of me, but somehow they found me,” she said. “It’s difficult on my dating life, because anyone I get photographed with is automatically my boyfriend. So it just makes it look as if I’ve had, like, 6,000 boyfriends!”
“The Bling Ring” star is finishing her senior year at Brown after taking a break from school to focus on her acting career, Us Weekly reported. She’s set to next appear in Darren Aronofsky’s biblically inspired drama, “Noah,” in which she plays Noah’s adopted daughter Ila. Russell Crowe plays the titular prophet, and the film also stars Watson’s “Perks of Being a Wallflower” costar Logan Lerman, Anthony Hopkins and Jennifer Connelly.
Mmillionaire’s son Abramowicz was recently photographed in a seemingly sketchy situation while celebrating the New Year, the Mirror reported.

A photo of the 23-year-old was posted on Facebook but has since been removed; however, the Mirror obtained the photo, which shows him sitting at a table with several white packets, a bottle and glass of wine and a $100 bill laid out in front of him. Adamowicz appears to be folding something in his hands and the photo, originally posted by his friend Antoine Salagnon, bears the caption “HNY [Happy New Year] — with Will Adamowicz,” according to the Mirror.
When contacted by the British paper, Adamowicz denied that the packets in the picture contained drugs and said: “The picture is not compromising. It is not what you think. They are not packages. They are not drugs. They are just bits of scrap paper. I don’t take any drugs.”
Either way, his lady love is long gone.
