Emma Watson and Matt Janney have ended their year-long romance

Emma, 24, and 22-year-old Matt – a top rugby player who is reading Russian at Oxford University – started dating at the end of 2013, but often spent time apart because of her professional commitments and his studying. Their romance was confirmed in January when they were spotted on a romantic Caribbean holiday. "They didn't have a care in the world," a source told the Mirror at the time. "Matt was very protective of Emma, often putting his arm around her. "He was being a gentleman the whole time. He is clearly very much into her. They couldn't stop giggling and smiling the whole time."
