Daniel Radcliffe Expecting First Child With Girlfriend Erin Darke

The star of Harry Potter first found fame through the films adapted from J.K. Rowling’s original books. Daniel Radcliffe is about to become a father. And no, this has nothing to do with him using any sort of love potion on his girlfriend of about 10 years, Erin Darke. 

The two have been an unbreakable couple ever since they first connected while working on a movie set. Although Darke is roughly five years older than Radcliffe, many fans were quick to draw attention to the age gap between the two. However, the two have never paid any heed to the nonsense as they lead a beautiful and trouble-free life.

The two came across each other while working on the film Kill Your Darlings by John Krokidas. The film had a budget of about $56 million and was not received too well by the audiences. However, it was plenty to bring together the beautiful couple. Erin Darke, who played Gwendolyn in the film, has been with Radcliffe ever since, even though their romantic encounter in the film was short-lived.  

The two are some of the most uncontroversial artists in Hollywood, with Radcliffe being a heartthrob for many Harry Potter fans. The star is reportedly all set to work in perhaps the last Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, the play by Rowling which was not entirely as applauded as the original series. The main trio is supposed to make a grand return for the film, which is rumored to be in development at Warner Bros.

The actors haven’t quite confirmed their roles. Radcliffe has led a somewhat private life and has been incredibly happy about it. He and Darke have been spotted together many times.

“I’ve got a really nice life. I’ve been with my girlfriend for a decade pretty much. We’re really happy,” said Daniel Radcliffe. While not much was known earlier, Erin Darke was seen with a visible baby bump in New York. Radcliffe is not on any social media platforms, so getting confirmations over recent events from him is always a little bit of a challenge. 

“I think in the years since I’ve been sober, I just don’t do anything interesting enough,” he said in an interview in 2022. “As an actor, I just want to live my life and see my friends, and I just want the thing people talk about to be the work.”

Radcliffe was then promoting his recent project, The Lost City, in which he starred with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. Even though Radcliffe and Darke have a very private life, a representative of his confirmed that they are expecting their first baby soon, and dad-to-be Daniel Radcliffe already has some things in mind about his child.

“I wouldn’t want fame for my kid,” said Radcliffe, who found fame through the magic of cameras at the age of 12 as he began filming for the first Harry Potter movie. However, it doesn’t mean that he wants to block his children completely from ever experiencing what cinema has to provide.

“I would love them to be around film sets,” he said. “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.'”

Well, their child is sure to have great movie star genetics as well as exposure to talent and experience. More updates are awaited regarding the parents-to-be and Darke’s current stage of pregnancy. More things may surface soon.
