Truly magical news for actor Daniel Radcliffe (33): The star from the "Harry Potter" films and his longtime girlfriend Erin Darke (38) are expecting their first child together. A spokesman for the couple confirmed this to The Hollywood Reporter.

How far the pregnancy has progressed and the gender of the child were not communicated – Radcliffe keeps his private life out of the public eye as much as possible and avoids social media. "As an actor, I just want to live my life and meet my friends. I want what people are talking about to be my work," the star said last year.

The British Radcliffe and the American Darke met about ten years ago on the set of the joint film "Kill Your Darlings" and fell in love a little later. She has also appeared in series like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" or Hollywood productions like "Thank You for Your Service". Radcliffe recently caused a stir with his role as Weird Al Yankovic in a biopic about the weird musician.
