Emma Watson splits from longterm beau

Emma Watson has reportedly resumed her single status after splitting from her longterm boyfriend. The Harry Potter actress, who began dating financier Jay Barrymore in 2008, was said to have put an end to the romance just months after moving to the US to pursue a university degree. "Emma and Jay were in trouble for months and with Emma at Brown University in America, the transatlantic gap proved too much for their relationship to survive," the Daily Star quoted a source as telling the Mail. The 19-year-old star was named Hollywood's highest paid female star of 2009 in a list compiled by Vanity Fair magazine.
