Daniel Radcliffe is already a father. The unforgettable protagonist of the magical Harry Potter saga has welcomed his first child with his partner for more than a decade, the also actress Erin Darke, whom he met while filming the movie Amores asesinos, in 2012.

A baby who was born sometime this April, knowing the happy news of his birth after the couple was caught walking their newborn in their stroller through the streets of New York last Monday.

A piece of news that we knew just a few days ago, because at the end of March the news of the actress’s pregnancy was leaked to the press and how the future parents were “absolutely excited” about “becoming a family of three”.

A secret that both managed to keep until the final stretch of the actress’s pregnancy, since both are totally hermetic with all the details of their personal lives. What’s more, the actor only confirmed the news of his wife’s pregnancy only because some images of the couple walking quietly through New York were leaked, in which it was impossible to deny that Darke was in a state of good hope.

Although he has always remained quite discreet with everything related to his private life, the actor has spoken on occasion about his partner, whom he met on the set of the aforementioned film, his two characters being the protagonists of a passionate adventure. “It will be a great story to tell our children one day,” the actor assured in an interview, “Meeting for the first time flirting.”

In another interview, the actor assured that he was immediately captivated by her as soon as he met her. At the moment, they rule out getting married, being focused on this new adventure as a family of three.

Radcliffe thus joins his partner Rupert Grint -Ron Weasley in the famous saga- in being a father. Grint already has some experience, since in 2020 he welcomed his first daughter, Wednesday, the result of his relationship with Georgia Groome, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2011.
