Radcliffe, 33, and Darke, 38, have been together for over a decade

Baby alert: Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe met his partner, actor Erin Darke, on the sets of Kill Your Darlings (2013). “Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting,” said Radcliffe. “It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day....” That day might not be far away. The two are now expecting their first child and fans were already naming the unborn baby on social media. “If it is a boy, call him Harry, and if it is a girl, call her Hermione or Luna,” suggested one of them.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime partner, actor Erin Darke have become parents to their first child.

A representative for Radcliffe confirmed the news to People magazine, but did not reveal the sex of the baby, or when the child was born.

In late March, it was reported that the actor couple was expecting a baby after they were spotted in New York City, where Darke's baby bump was visible underneath her hoodie.

Radcliffe, 33, and Darke, 38, have been together for over a decade. They first sparked romance rumours after co-starring in the 2013 film Kill Your Darlings.

In a 2019 interview, the actor talked about shooting an intimate scene with Darke (Good Girl Revolt) for Kill Your Darlings.

"It'll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other.

"Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting," Radcliffe had said.
