It's a magical time for Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke! The "Harry Potter" star and his longtime girlfriend have welcomed their first child together. Daniel Radcliffe's representative confirmed the news, after the couple was recently photographed in public pushing their newborn in a stroller. The child's gender or birthdate have not been disclosed yet. The two met on set of the drama "Kill Your Darlings" in 2012, and have been together for more than a decade. "We met on the set of 'Kill Your Darlings,' and just got on immediately," Radcliffe told Parade Magazine in 2014. "It was one of those instant things where you're like, 'Oh, I really like this person.' You just have a connection with somebody, and then suddenly, it's incredibly easy to talk to them. It was one of those sort of situations."
Radcliffe spoke about his relationship with Darke in an October interview with Newsweek saying, “I've got a really nice life. I've been with my girlfriend for a decade, pretty much. We definitely like [working together], but it's not something we want to do all the time. Hopefully we'll get to do more in the future.” Radcliffe also expressed that he wouldn't want fame for his kids in the same interview, saying “I want my kids, if and when they exist... I would love them to be around film sets. A dream would be for them to come onto a film set and be like, 'God, you know, I'd love to be in the art department. I'd love to be something in the crew.' Film sets are wonderful places. I think a lot of the time it can be wonderful for kids. But it's really the fame side of it that should be avoided at all costs.”
We wish Radcliffe and Darke all the best as they embark on this exciting chapter of their lives together!
