Daniel Radcliffe and his long-term partner, actor Erin Darke, have welcomed their first child together. The couple was spotted with the baby in New York.

Actors Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke have become parents for the first time. The birth of their child was confirmed by the Harry Potter actor's publicist after photographs of the couple pushing a pram in New York surfaced online. Daniel and his long-term partner Erin, who is also a writer, have not yet revealed the sex of their baby, or when the child was born.

In photos that were shared on paparazzi and fan pages, Daniel sported a blue cap and black facemask and was dressed in a grey T-shirt with a dark grey hoodie and a pair of grey trousers. Erin wore a black T-shirt and blue jeans with a green coat and tan boots. They were seen taking turns in moving their baby's blue and black pram.

Reacting to their photos, a Twitter user wrote, “So happy for them! My feeling says they have a boy.” Another one tweeted, “How am I this old!?!? Like… Harry Potter has a kid.” Another one said, “Feeling so old!!!”

Daniel and Erin met while filming for Kill Your Darlings (2013), the movie in which Daniel plays the poet Allen Ginsberg. They have reportedly been together for 10 years. In March 2023 it was reported that the couple was expecting a baby. Last year, Daniel had told Newsweek that he would love his children to aspire to work behind the scenes in the film industry. He had said, "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 on to 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.'"
