Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is said to have secretly welcomed a second child with long-term girlfriend Georgia Groome, five years after the birth of their daughter Wednesday.
The actor, 36, who played Ron Weasley in the magical movies, was spotted on his first outing with the newborn on Sunday.
In snaps obtained by The Sun Rupert and Georgia doted on the tot who was wrapped up in a colourful blanket as they enjoyed a sunny stroll in Hampstead.
The couple were dressed casually as they strolled along the street with Rupert shielding his famous features beneath a shade and baseball cap.
He and Georgia took it in turn to lovingly cradle the little one, who appeared to have inherited their father’s red hair.
MailOnline have contacted Rupert’s reps for comment.

Rupert and fellow actor Georgia, who is famed for her role in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, have been together since 2011 but have worked hard to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
The actor spoke about Georgia briefly in a 2021 interview with Glamour, saying: ‘It’s a very natural thing — we’re just best friends. We’re kind of the same person; we think the same way.
‘That’s always made it work — that’s why it’s lasted. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it works and it’s great.’
Rupert was the first of the core three Potter child stars to become a parent.
They welcomed their daughter Wednesday in May 2020. Six months after their baby’s arrival, Rupert then joined Instagram to reveal her name.
Harlow native Rupert wrote in an accompanying caption: ‘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.’ (sic)
His co-star Daniel Radcliffe became a father for the first time after welcoming a child with his long-term partner Erin Drake in April 2023.

It comes as Rupert is yet to speak out after JK Rowling has been celebrating the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment that trans women are not legally women.
Harry Potter stars Rupert, Daniel. and Emma Watson who have vocally opposed her stance on gender identity have so far stayed silent.
Justices in London ruled last week that in the 2010 Equality Act, the definition of the term ‘women’ relates only to biological women.
Judge Lord Hodge warned against taking the ruling as a ‘triumph’ for either side, but gender critical campaigners have celebrated the finding as a victory.
Multi-millionaire author Rowling, who reportedly helped fund the women’s rights campaign group which brought the Supreme Court case, shared a photo online from on board her $150 million superyacht puffing a cigar in celebration.
She told her 14.3million followers on X, formerly Twitter: ‘I love it when a plan comes together.’
Yet while she has been commenting at length on social media about the Supreme Court decision, fans have noted the apparent silence from stars who featured in the blockbuster movie adaptations of her Harry Potter books.

Daniel, Emma and Rupert have spoken publicly in support of gender ideology – that biologically male trans women should be regarded as women.
And they have each commented in opposition to Rowling’s views on the issue, while expressing their gratitude for her role in their careers.
The author herself appeared to aim a jibe at them last month, when sharing on her X account a response to another user who asked: ‘What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?’
Rowling wrote: ‘Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.’
And she previously indicated in April last year she would not forgive Radcliffe nor Watson as she criticised celebrities she said had ‘cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights’.
On that occasion the multi-millionaire author hit out at stars accused of using their ‘platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors’ after the release of the long-awaited Cass report into gender treatment in the UK.
