Harry Potter star Jessie Cave has confirmed that she has given birth to her fourth child just weeks after she was hospitalised with Covid-19.

The 34-year-old actress-turned-author, who is best known for her portrayal of Lavender Brown in the wizarding franchise, shared the happy news on social media.

Taking to Instagram, she posted a photo showing her breastfeeding her new son and revealed his name as Becker in the caption.

“Welcome Becker Brown,” she told her 210k followers.

“Thank you to UCLH. Thank you to the midwives Amy and Emi-Lou. Thank you to Alisson Becker,” she added.

She and comedian partner Alfie Brown are already proud parents to sons Donnie, six, and 17-month old Abraham, plus, daughter Margot, four.

Only weeks before the delivery, she had required hospital care after testing positive for Covid-19 during her third trimester.

Updating fans online, she wrote: “Triage, once again…Anyone else had covid in 3rd trimester & had it hit them like a tonne of bricks for weeks? [sic].”

She later added: “Also – has anyone taken the anti-nausea drug and it made them feel worse?”
