Harry Potter frontman Daniel Radcliff and his partner Erin Darke have welcomed their first child together into the 'muggle' world.
The 33-year-old actor and his long-term girlfriend, Good Girls actress Erin, were pictured taking their newborn bundle of joy a walk around New York City on Monday.
Daniel however kept a low profile according to reports in the Mirror, sporting a mask and baseball cap while pushing a blue pram, as he wore a hoodie and grey jeans. New mum Erin, 38, also kept it casual as she wore jeans and a green coat, as well as a mask which was propped under her chin.
The couple have kept their romance fairly low-key since first meeting in 2012 on the film set of Kill Your Darlings, and earlier this year confirmed they were expecting a child.
A source close to the couple said in March: “Daniel and Erin could not be happier to be expecting. They are absolutely thrilled, and can’t wait to become a family of three.
“They told their families and friends recently. It’s an incredibly exciting time.”
Daniel, 33, shot to fame as a child star aged just 12 as wizard Harry in the multi-billion pound film franchise first coined by JK Rowling.
But he may be steering his youngster away from following his lead in the public eye after struggling with alcohol as a young adult in an attempt to cope with being at the centre of public scrutiny.
He told Newsweek magazine last year: “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.
“I wouldn’t want fame for my kid. Film sets are wonderful places. 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.”
In 2020, Daniel said of his and Erin meeting on a film set: “It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day, 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.”
