The Daily Mail reports the publicist added Emma, who shot to fame aged nine playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is “not taking on new commitments”.
It’s thought the actress may have decided to take a break to spend time with tycoon boyfriend Leo Robinton, who she’s been dating for 18 months.
A source told the Mail: “Emma has gone underground, she is settling down with Leo. They’re laying low. Maybe she wants a family.”
Emma’s representatives have been approached for comment.
