Emma Watson is Pihithappily single and she's even coined a new term to describe her unfettered relationship status.

In a cover story for the British Vogue December issue, Watson told Paris Lees that she calls it "self-partnered". The Little Women star also spoke about the cultural pressure that exists around turning 30.

"Cut to 29, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I feel so stressed and anxious," said Watson. "And I realise it’s because there is suddenly this bloody influx of subliminal messaging around. If you have not built a home, if you do not have a husband, if you do not have a baby, and you are turning 30, and you’re not in some incredibly secure, stable place in your career, or you’re still figuring things out… There’s just this incredible amount of anxiety."

Watson told Lees that she didn't use to be convinced by the notion of being happily single — but her own lived experience might have changed that.

"I never believed the whole ‘I’m happy single’ spiel. I was like, 'This is totally spiel.' It took me a long time, but I’m very happy [being single]. I call it being self-partnered," said Watson.
