Harry Potter star Rupert Grint reportedly secretly welcomed a second child with long term girlfriend Georgia Groome.

The exciting news comes five years after the birth of the couple’s eldest, daughter Wednesday.

The actor, who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, was seen out and about with the new baby in Hampstead on Sunday.

In pictures obtained by The Sun the new parents can be seen cuddling the infant, who appears to have inherited Rupert’s Weasley-esque red hair.

Georgia – known for her role in Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging – and Rupert have been together since 2011 but have largely kept their relationship private.

Rupert first joined Instagram in 2020 to announce the birth of his first child, almost immediately racking up a million followers (he now has 5.3m).

He wrote at the time: ‘Hey Instagram….only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.’

While the family keeps things private, he did reveal one of Wednesday’s surprising obsessions during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The Driving Lessons star explained he was currently living in the UK, after a stint in the US, saying his first-born child was ‘struggling’ to adjust to the change.

Rupert explained she had ‘spent most of her time’ in America, so she was missing home comforts, among them Hogies and, er, Target.

Asked about Wednesday’s favourite things, he told the 48-year-old host: ‘So so many things. I mean she’s kind of princess crazy as well but she’s struggling a little bit with kind of adjusting to UK life.

‘She spent most of her time in America so she’s missing some kind of cultural things,’ he continued, adding: ‘She does love Philly. She loves Hoagies. She loves water rides.

‘The big one is Target,’ Rupert confessed, to the laughter and applause of the studio audience.

Jimmy also admitted his kids ‘loved’ the shop, branding it ‘unbelievable’, with Rupert saying Wednesday would choose Target over going to the park.

Rupert said: ‘She likes going to different Targets and kind of seeing how the layout is slightly different. And sometimes she doesn’t buy anything, she just wants to kind of browse.’
