Daniel Radcliffe, longtime girlfriend Erin Darke are expecting their first child

Daniel Radcliffe is taking on a new leading role: fatherhood.

The "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" actor, 33, and his longtime partner Erin Darke are expecting their first child together, Radcliffe's representative Scott Boute confirmed to USA TODAY.

Radcliffe and the 38-year-old actress met 10 years ago while starring as love interests in the 2013 movie "Kill Your Darlings."

The film is "a wonderful record of us flirting for the first time," Radcliffe told Playboy in October 2015 of their love story. "There’s no acting going on – not from my end, anyway."

He added: "There’s a moment when she makes me laugh, and I’m laughing as me and not as my character. She was incredibly funny and smart. I knew I was in trouble."

The couple worked together again in 2021 for an episode of Radcliffe's TBS series "Miracle Workers."

"We definitely like (working together), but it's not something we want to do all the time," the "Harry Potter" alum told People in March 2022. "We obviously met on film and so getting to do stuff on 'Miracle Workers' with her last year was incredibly special and felt lovely. Hopefully we'll get to do more in the future, but we also both write, so maybe we'd write something together at some point, and that would be cool."

In October, Radcliffe opened up about how he would want to approach fatherhood.

"I want my kids, if and when they exist … I would love them to be around film sets," he told Newsweek. "A dream would be for them to come onto 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.' Some part of this, but not from that."

However, Radcliffe said he wants to shield his future children from fame.

"Film sets are wonderful places. I think a lot of the time it can be wonderful for kids. But it's really the fame side of it that should be avoided at all costs," he added.
