By now you may have had a few hours to process the fact that Daniel Radcliffe, aka the actor who played The Boy Who Lived, is all grown up with a baby on the way. He isn’t the first former child star from the franchise to be expecting a kid, but it’s still jarring every time it has happened. It’s not just the Harry Potter fans who feel that way either. The actor himself has expressed how ‘weird’ the whole thing is.
Following in the footsteps of his co-star Rupert Grint, who had a baby back in 2020 with Georgia Groome, news broke over the weekend that Radcliffe and his longtime partner Erin Darke are having a child together. The two were seen out and captured by photographers with Darke sporting a baby bump, and the rep for The Lost City star confirmed the two are expecting. Radcliffe is 33 and Darke is 38.
