Emma Watson’s mystery ‘date’ has been identified as Cole Cook, Alicia Keys’ brother.

Dailymail.com has confirmed that Cook is the man the “Beauty and the Beast” actress was seen with at The Spotted Pig restaurant in New York.

Cole is the half-brother of Grammy-winning artist Alicia Keys; they share the same father, Craig Cook. Alicia’s full name is Alicia Augello Cook.

Cole graduated from Central Wаshington University with a bachelor’s degree in theatre studies. He frequently collaborates with Alicia’s husband Swizz Beatz as a co-founder of the creative agency Timeless Eye.

Alicia was born in 1981 to Terria Joseph and Craig Cook, but her parents separated when she was two. Craig then had Cole with his ex-partner Susan Cook.

During their night outing, Emma Watson and Cole Cook were seen in New York’s West Village, appearing to be quite close as they strolled, chatting and laughing together. The “Harry Potter” actress was in high spirits, showing off her abs in a rock-chic outfit while walking with Cole.

Emma looked striking in a black crop top paired with a biker jacket. She complemented the outfit with high-waisted black trousers and high heels, while her hair was styled in a bun. She kept her makeup simple to highlight her natural beauty.

The pair appeared relaxed and happy in each other’s company as they walked through the streets of New York.

Emma Watson was last seen kissing businessman Brendan Wallace during a trip to Mexico. Brendan is a Princeton University graduate with an MBA from Stanford. He worked at Goldman Sachs in investment banking, then in real estate private equity, before starting his own business. He’s a co-founder of Cabify, the Latin American Uber, and a co-founder of Fifth Wall, an investment company.

Before Brendan, Emma dated Chord Overstreet, with whom she was seen kissing passionately in Los Angeles. The two began dating at the end of 2017, shortly after Emma’s two-year relationship with tech manager William Knight ended. They were frequently seen together in the first half of 2018.

Emma Watson has been known to keep her relationships private. In an interview, she stated that she would never discuss her relationships publicly, as it often leads to unwanted attention. She mentioned, “I’ve noticed, in Hollywood, who you’re dating gets tied up into your film promotion and becomes part of the performance and the circus. I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in any way part of a show or an act.” Watson also told Vanity Fair in 2017, “I can’t talk about my boyfriend in an interview and then expect people not to take paparazzi pictures of me walking around outside my home. You can’t have it both ways.
