Rupert becomes a dad

This comes after actor Rupert Grint, who played the role of Ronald Weasley in the Harry Potter series, welcomed his first child with his longtime love Georgia Groome. The pair's representative confirmed the news and told a leading news daily that the couple asks for nothing but privacy at the hour. It was recently reported that Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe congratulated Rupert Grint on welcoming his first child with long-time girlfriend, Georgia Groome. In a media interaction held earlier this year, Daniel Radcliffe mentioned that he had texted Rupert Grint the very next day on hearing the news. Adding to the same, Daniel Radcliffe revealed that it was super-weird, as he is of the same age as that of Rupert and yet he was not having children.
