Why Tom Felton is still not married: details of the grown-up Draco's personal life

**Why Tom Felton is still unmarried: details of the grown-up Draco's personal life**

Tom Felton was born on September 22, 1987, in Epsom, Surrey, or according to other sources, in London's Kensington, but it was in Surrey that he grew up.

Felton grew up as the youngest of four children in an ordinary English family: his father was an accountant, and his mother was a homemaker. His acting path began almost by accident — in the mid-nineties, he was spotted at a casting call for commercials, and in 1997, he made his film debut with a role in the movie "The Borrowers," starring alongside Hugh Laurie. Later, he also starred in the film "Anna and the King" featuring Jodie Foster.

In 2000, Felton auditioned for the role of Harry Potter but was approved for the character of Draco Malfoy. At the age of 12, he found himself on the set of one of the biggest franchises in cinema history and spent the next ten years splitting his time between school in Surrey and filming at Hogwarts. He later wrote in detail in his book about what it was like to grow up in front of the whole world's eyes.

In his youth, Tom Felton looked almost the same as he does now: the same blonde hair, the same gaze. The actor's height is 175 cm. Next to Daniel Radcliffe, he did not look very tall, but among many of his colleagues in the frame, he seemed quite imposing.

In 2022, Felton released his memoir titled "Beyond the Wand" — the book immediately entered the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller lists. In it, Felton spoke openly about his alcohol addiction that arose after moving to Los Angeles, the intervention of his loved ones, his escape on foot from a rehabilitation clinic across Hollywood, and his repeated, conscious attempts to overcome the problem. As a result, it turned out to be not a glossy celebrity biography, but a sincere story about how fame rarely makes people happy.

The relationship between Tom Felton and Emma Watson has been discussed since 1999, when nine-year-old Emma came to the casting and, by her own admission, fell in love with thirteen-year-old Tom at first sight.

Later, speculations varied, but one fact remains: both say that there was never a romantic relationship between them. Watson has repeatedly stated that her childhood love remained unrequited. However, in her foreword to his book in 2022, Emma wrote that they have "loved each other in a special way" for twenty years and called him her "soulmate."

Felton himself admitted in his memoirs that he had a "secret love" for Emma — but immediately clarified that he did not mean romance, but something even rarer: trust, mutual understanding, and the feeling of a kindred soul.

In subsequent interviews, when journalists asked about their relationship again, Felton would only smile: "It's hard to explain. We have been very close for a long time, and I admire her." One thing is clear: they did not date and, apparently, never will, because the bond between them is more precious to both than any relationship.

The first serious relationship started during school years — the couple met in the early 2000s, when Felton was just starting to film "Harry Potter."

Felton was in a relationship with the Australian actress, who later became the star of "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals," from about 2006 to 2008. They met before Tonkin became famous in Hollywood and split up quietly, without any public scandal.

The longest and most discussed relationship in Felton's life began in the late 2000s. He met Jade, a stunt assistant on the "Harry Potter" set, during the filming of "Half-Blood Prince," and they were together for seven to eight years until they split in early 2016. It was Jade who played Draco's wife, Astoria Greengrass, in the epilogue of "Deathly Hallows."

This is where one of the most common myths originated: Tom Felton's ex-wife is still sometimes searched for on Google, when in fact, he has never had a wife — neither ex nor current. Jade Gordon was his girlfriend, not his wife. On screen, she was his wife Astoria, but in real life, they had a long-term relationship that ended in an amicable breakup. Naturally, they do not have children either.

Tom Felton has been in a relationship with South African jewelry designer Roxanne Danya since 2020. In 2022, the girl moved from South Africa to London to live with him, and in the fall of 2024, the couple was spotted on vacation in Portofino, Italy — this is one of the few times their relationship has been seen in public.

He still maintains warm relations with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, although he admits that they see each other less than they would like because everyone has their own life. Nevertheless, at premieres, anniversary reunions, and on social media, the former Gryffindors and Slytherin look more like close friends than on-screen enemies.

Felton has repeatedly recalled his older colleagues on set — Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Michael Gambon — with particular warmth: in his book, he describes them not as stars, but as people who practically replaced his family at a time when his parents remained in Surrey and he himself was busy for weeks at Leavesden Studios.
