Emma Watson Attends NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Quite Rare Public Appearance

Emma Watson surprised her fans with a rare public appearance at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Oakland, California, on Valentine’s Day, 2025. Known mostly for her role in Harry Potter, the 34-year-old actress was seen enjoying the game with handmade signs as she cheered for musician Tucker Halpern, a fellow Brown University alum. According to a source, Watson appeared "very low-key" and enthusiastic, taking in the event in casual attire—a black crop top with matching capris or pants and loose, curled or straightened hair, highlighted by small silver hoops. She also carried a red jacket and black sunglasses. This is prepared by SSP.

Emma's appearance, shared in a TikTok video by ESPN, included her blowing kisses and waving to an unseen friend. She engaged with Halpern and is at a phase in her life where she’s balancing creative pursuits and personal growth. Having recently taken a break from acting, Watson has embraced this time to focus on academic endeavors, like her degree from Brown University followed by a master's in creative writing at Oxford University starting in September 2024—Oxford is also where she reportedly met her boyfriend, Kieran Brown.

Expressing her views in a December 2023 interview with British Vogue, Watson reflected on her chosen hiatus from the limelight, shared personal growth and the importance of enjoying one's own company and creative autonomy. Apart from acting and education, Watson ventured into the business world, co-founding Renais Gin, a sustainability-focused luxury gin brand, with her brother Alex Watson. Emma's move from Hollywood roles to storytelling in spirit making, as well as her newfound independence and creativity, highlight her evolved outlook on defining personal satisfaction.

Earlier, SSP reported that Lance Gross shared plans for his 10-year anniversary with wife Rebecca.
