Rupert Grint and his longtime partner, actress Georgia Groome, have secretly welcomed their second child together.
The “Harry Potter” star, who played the loveable Ron Weasley in the film franchise, shared the delightful news on social media on Monday
“Secret Child Slightly Revealed,” Grint, 36, captioned a photo of their new baby, whose face partially appears in the precious photo.
“Introducing Goldie G. Grint. ï¸ A 10/10 baby (so far).”
Keeping the pregnancy under wraps is no surprise given Grint and the British actress – who have been dating since 2011 – are immensely private about their personal lives.
Fans didn’t even know about their relationship until 2018 – seven years after they became an item.
“I was today years old when I found out Georgia from [teen movie] “Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging” has been going out with Ron Weasley since 2011?” one fan tweeted at the time.
In 2019, the couple sparked speculation they had secretly married when they were spotted wearing matching gold rings, but a rep for the actor was quick to deny the rumours.
However, their relationship was stronger than ever and in 2020 they announced their first pregnancy.
“Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are excited to announce they are expecting a baby and would please ask for privacy at this time,” a rep said in a statement at the time.
It took six whole months before the notoriously private couple shared a photo of their little bundle of joy, with the actor low-key joining Instagram for the first time to share a first look at their daughter.
“Hey Instagram …. only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram!” he wrote in his very first post. “Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.”
He has since given an insight into his life as a dad, telling Glamour in 2021 that he is “absolutely loving” his most important role to date, although he is “still kind of coming to terms with what being a dad is”.
“It’s so much fun. I feel like I’ve changed as a person for sure,” he revealed.
“It kind of happened overnight, lifestyle-wise. I stopped smoking straight away. I’ve started sleeping so much better – I used to be a horrific insomniac, now I’m sleeping.”
