Daniel Radcliffe has become a father for the first time to a baby boy, alongside his long-time girlfriend, Erin Darke. In a recent interview, the actor disclosed that he may adjust his work schedule to prioritize his role as a father and spend ample time with his growing family.
Daniel Radcliffe now experiences the joys and challenges of being a father. The arrival of his first child with Erin Darke took place in April, and the couple decided to keep the newborn’s gender a secret until a few months later.
Although the actor acknowledges that fatherhood can sometimes be overwhelming, he embraces each moment with his child. Additionally, he expresses his gratitude for Erin Darke, a remarkable woman who shares the responsibilities of parenting with him.
Radcliffe and Darke have been romantically linked for a decade. They first met on the set of Kill Your Darlings, where their characters had a brief fling. Since then, their relationship has grown, especially now that they are parents.
Radcliffe, who is still acting in show business, may take on less work to be with his son. “I’ve always wanted to take some time off,” he said. “I’m able to just be here with him a lot, which is lovely.”
The doting father now takes his son into account when taking on projects and may be more selective in the years to come. However, he has no plans to leave the industry.
News of Radcliffe’s baby’s birth first broke in April 2023, when he was spotted pushing a pram in New York, with Darke following behind. The actor was dressed casually, covering his face with a face mask and baseball cap.
Radcliffe has yet to reveal more about his son and his experiences as a father. However, he has previously revealed his thoughts on his children entering the entertainment industry. According to the child star, he wouldn’t recommend fame for his child.
However, he believes that acting is an art and a form of expression that is excellent for young people. “It’s taught me so much about myself and others – about empathy and connection and being present,” he said. “But I still wouldn’t want fame for my child.”
Radcliffe began his career before he was even a teenager. While it brought him many opportunities, it also took up a lot of his time.
At the age of 19, Danielle Radcliffe lost his beloved grandmother. He was in New York at the time and couldn’t be at her side. He missed the funeral to fulfil his obligations as a stage actor on Broadway.
