Radcliffe Opens Up About Fatherhood and His Son

has shared a rare insight into life as a father, describing his young son as 'incredibly sweet.'

The actor, 36, has been in a long-term relationship with American actress Erin Darke, 41, since 2012.

The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in April 2023, and have largely kept his identity out of the spotlight.

In a new interview, the star opened up about fatherhood in an unusually candid moment.

Reflecting on how becoming a dad has changed him, he told Rolling Stone: 'I'm an emotional wreck, in the best way, I cry a lot more.

'I see him being incredibly joyful, and it just transforms you. 

'It's the first time I've watched someone laugh so much that it has made me cry.' 

Daniel and Erin first met on the set of 2013 American biographical drama film Kill Your Darlings.

They played a couple in the film, with Daniel later admitting that he was immediately attracted to Erin.

In 2024, the British actor picked up his first ever Tony Award for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical Tony for Merrily We Roll Along - and made rare comments about Erin and their son in his speech.

He said: 'My love, Erin. You and our son are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you so much. Thank you so much' - as a tearful Darke watched from the audience.'

He added: 'Thank you so much. Okay, I'm going to just talk fast and try not to cry.'

The arrival of Daniel and Erin's first child was confirmed in May 2023 when DailyMail.com shared exclusive pictures of him pushing their newborn in a pram through New York.

A spokesperson for the Harry Potter star confirmed the happy news.

They said that the couple, who've been together for over a decade, are 'absolutely thrilled' to become parents.
