Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe welcomes first child with partner Erin Darke

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 walking together in New York City, where Darke's debuted her baby bump in a black zip-up 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. They were also seen together in the 2019 TV series Miracle Workers.

In a 2019 interview, the actor talked about shooting an intimate scene with Darke 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.
