The 'Harry Potter' actress has bought a new property in London which she is now sharing with financier Jay Barrymore.
A source close to the actress - who was first linked to 26-year-old Jay around 16 months ago after meeting him at an awards ceremony - said: "Emma's off to university in America soon but was determined to put some roots down in England first.
"Her relationship with Jay is going from strength to strength. They are spending increasing amounts of time with one another. It makes perfect sense for Jay to leave some of his stuff at hers and see how it goes. So far, so good - and Emma's confident they'll stay together even when she's abroad."
The 19-year-old star - who is worth an estimated £10.5 million - is now living close to her father Chris' house and believes buying the property is a sound investment.
The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Despite the fame, she's really got her head screwed on. After consulting with several property experts, as well as her family and friends, she's decided to invest in her own place.
"It's a North London townhouse and it's just a stone throw from her dad Chris' house. So she can see him whenever she wants."
