Hear ye, hear ye! The chosen one, aka Daniel Radcliffe, and his partner Erin Darke are officially parents after paparazzi pics confirm the birth of their first child.
In the dead of the night (for ‘Straya) The Daily Mail sneakily reported that the Harry Potter star was out and about with his partner and their new bundle of joy in New York City.
In a video caught by the paparazzi, Daniel can be seen zig-zagging a pram like he’s trying to catch a golden snitch.
With this news we are glad to announce that Daniel is now officially a DILF — respectfully.

The gender, name and the actual birthdate of the child have not been confirmed, but if we don’t get an adorable Harry Potter inspired baby photo shoot, I’m suing.
ICYMI: Radcliffe and Darke had only just announced that they were expecting their first kiddo last month.
A representative for the actor confirmed to People that Darke was pregnant.
The pair are reportedly very happy in love and have been dating for a decade after first meeting on the set of the 2013 flick Kill Your Darlings.
That’s gotta be like, a century in Hollywood years?
Funnily enough, in the film, Radcliffe and Darke had to perform a sex scene with one another.
“It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other,” Radcliffe said in an interview with People in 2019.
“Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting.”
One hell of a story INDEED.
Radcliffe has previously stated that he doesn’t want his own kids to have the child star life he once lived.
“I want my kids, if and when they exist… I would love them to be around film sets,” he said per Newsweek, adding that he “wouldn’t want fame” for them.
Ahh yes. A classic “pull the ladder up behind you” manoeuvre there from Danny boy.
Next thing you know he’ll be enforcing Shaquille O’Neal-levels of strictness to access his Gringotts vault.
For context, basketball legend Shaq has stated that his children must earn two college degrees before he’ll let them anywhere near his $400 million fortune.
Jokes aside though, we do love ourselves some Daniel Radcliffe and we’re so happy for the new parents!
Most recently, Daniel starred in the Weird Al Yankovic biopic Weird where he was… majorly ripped?
Dedication to the craft, I guess…
He has also been a staunch supporter of the trans community in the face of ongoing cookery from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
What a good boy (who lived)!
