Daniel Radcliffe, longtime girlfriend Erin Darke welcome their first child

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime girlfriend Erin Darke have been blessed with a baby!

A representative for Daniel has confirmed the news to US-based outlet PEOPLE. The couple has not revealed the sex of the baby, or when the child was born.

The update has left the actors' fans extremely happy. "How time flies! Harry Potter star is now a father," a social media user commented.

"So so so happy for them," another one wrote.

News broke in March that the Miracle Workers co-stars were starting a family.

Darke debuted her baby bump in a black zip-up hoodie that same month during a New York City walk with her partner.

Daniel and Darke have been together since their meeting on the Kill Your Darlings set in 2012.

Daniel is best known for his role in the Harry Potter series. He was 12 when he was cast as the bespectacled boy wizard in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001. He went on to appear in all eight films based on the books written by JK Rowling.

More recently, he played the lead role in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA. (ANI)
