The 'Harry Potter' child star is about to become a dad
In news that will undoubtedly make many of us feel extremely old, Daniel Radcliffe has announced some exciting personal news.
The 'Harry Potter' actor and child star is now set to become a dad himself as his long-term partner Erin Darke is expecting their first child.
The pair first met in 2013 on the set of 'Kill Your Darlings', in which Radcliffe played beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
The 33-year-old Radcliffe's last big screen role was as 'Weird Al' Yankovic in last year's biopic 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story', but in recent years he has kept a low profile and does not share much about his personal life.
American actress Darke has been in mainly TV roles in recent years, with credits in 'Moonshine' and 'Miracle Workers' (which also starred Radcliffe), as well as 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'.
A representative for Radcliffe confirmed the happy news after Darke was spotted with a baby bump in New York, but there are no further details on due date etc. were confirmed.
He's not the first of the 'Harry Potter' cast to become a parent, though - Rupert Grint (aka Ron Weasley) welcomed daughter Wednesday with his actress partner Georgia Groome in 2020.
'Harry' is a lovely name for a boy, though...
