It looks like the New Year signalled the start of a new romance for Emma Watson. The 25-year-old actress is rumoured to be dating 35-year-old tech manager William 'Mack' Knight – and things seem to be going well for the new couple. According to reports, the British actress and her rumoured boyfriend recently enjoyed a seven-day getaway together in California's Big Sur coastal region, staying at the $10,000-a-week Post Ranch Inn and stopping by a local bakery where they enjoyed a wood fire pizza together. "Mack is just a normal, down-to-earth guy who has nothing to do with Hollywood, and Emma loves that," a source told the Sun. "She was left really hurt by her break-up with Matthew (Janney) and it has taken her more than a year to feel ready to start again with somebody.
