Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend, Erin Darke, have a little one on the way, a representative for the ‘Harry Potter’ actor confirmed Monday.
The Times confirmed in March that Radcliffe and Darke were expecting their first child, more than a decade after meeting on the set of “Kill Your Darlings” in 2012. In the film Radcliffe, portrayed Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg and Darke played one of his love interests.
In 2019, Radcliffe recalled filming a sexually explicit scene with Darke for PeopleTV’s “Couch Surfing.”
“It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other,” he said.
Co-written by ‘Weird Al’ himself, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” is a parody bio-pic made in the same delightfully carefree style as his music.
Since appearing in the film directed by John Krokidas, Radcliffe has been open about his romance with Darke. In a 2014 interview with Us Weekly, he said it was “the kind of relationship I always aspire to have with someone.”
“You want that person to be your best friend,” he added. “In the case of Erin, we definitely are.”
In 2018, Darke told People that she and her “Miracle Workers” co-star bonded over their passion for acting.
Daniel Radcliffe says he condemned J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans tweets because he wanted “Harry Potter” fans to know that “not everybody ... felt that way.”
“There’s something that’s really beautiful and really lovely about being with someone who just innately understands that about you,” she said. “He helps me make self-tapes sometimes. He’s a great reader, by the way. We’re both incredibly supportive of the other person’s career.”
Radcliffe, who is most known for the “Harry Potter” film franchise, has recently starred in films “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” “The Lost City” and “Guns Akimbo.” He also starred in “Swiss Army Man” from the Oscar-winning directors Daniels (“Everything Everywhere All At Once”).
Erin stars in the Prime Video series “Moonshine.” She has also appeared in the shows “Dietland” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
