The couple has been together for a decade.
Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime girlfriend Erin Darke officially have a bundle of joy on the way!
A rep for Radcliffe confirmed the great news to People on March 26.
Radcliffe, 33, and Darke, 38, first met while playing love interests in the 2013 movie Kill Your Darlings, in which Radcliffe portrays Allen Ginsberg opposite Dane DeHaan as Lucien Carr.
In 2014, the actor told Parade the couple met on the movie set and that they "just got on immediately."
"It was one of those instant things where you’re like, ‘Oh, I really like this person.’ You just have a connection with somebody, and then suddenly it’s incredibly easy to talk to them. It was one of those sort of situations,” he explained.

Radcliffe also elaborated on the couple's relationship during a retrospective interview with PeopleTV in 2019.
He said, "It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other," referring to explicit scenes the two filmed together.
He went on, "That’s how we met. That was the beginning of our beautiful relationship.”
Both the characters and the actors met and fell for each other during filming, as Radcliffe noted, "Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting.”
Although Radcliffe grew up in the spotlight while playing Harry Potter in the popular fantasy film series, he has remained relatively private about his personal life over the years.
In March of last year, Radcliffe spoke a little more about his relationship with Darke to People, saying, "I've got a really nice life. I've been with my girlfriend for a decade, pretty much. We're really happy."
He also touched on the couple's history working together following Kill Your Darlings, when Darke acted in Season 3 of Radcliffe's TV series Miracle Workers.
Radcliffe said, "We definitely like [working together], but it's not something we want to do all the time."
He added, "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."
There are no further details yet on the couple's pregnancy.
Congratulations to Radcliffe and Darke on the big news!
