Harry Potter fans only just learning Rupert Grint has famous movie star partner
Harry Potter star Rupert Grint and his actor girlfriend Georgia Groome have been in a relationship for 14 years, but many fans are only just realising they are a couple
Fans of the Harry Potter series are having a lightbulb moment as they discover that Rupert Grint, who famously played Ron Weasley, is in a long-term relationship with Georgia Groome, known for her role in the iconic '00s teen film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
While Rupert's face is well-known alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in JK Rowling's wizarding world, he has also made his mark in films like Into The White and Knock At The Cabin, as well as lending his voice to animated characters.
Away from the cameras, Rupert enjoys fatherhood and shares his life with Georgia Groome, who has been acting since childhood and stole hearts as the awkward teenager in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
Despite their 14-year relationship, it seems many fans were unaware of this pairing until US Weekly shared a photo earlier this week, revealing the couple have just welcomed their second child, much to the surprise and delight of fans.
Social media reactions ranged from shock to joy, with one person posting: "Why did I not know Ron Weasley was with Georgia from Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging?"
Another excited fan exclaimed: "Angus, Thongs and the Perfect Snogging girl had a baby? with Ron Weasley? This is everything to me."
One fan was stunned by the youthful appearance and shared, "She literally looks the same as she did when she was a teenager... also how didn't I know they had kids together."
Another chimed in with disbelief, "I didn't even know they were together," while someone else confessed, "Wow I had no idea they were even together I really need to research things more."
The discreet nature of their relationship is partly why it remained unknown to many. The couple's romance came as a surprise to quite a few fans, only coming to light when an old photograph leaked on social media platform X.
A throwback snap posted by a fan featured Groome sporting long, curly locks and Grint beside her, all smiles. The revelation left this individual astonished: "I was today years old when I found out Georgia from Angus, thongs and perfect snogging has been going out with Ron Weasley since 2011?"
Rupert recently announced the birth of their second child, baby girl Goldie, on his Instagram last Sunday, April 27. He introduced her posting an adorable picture and captioning it, "'Secret Child Slightly Revealed' Introducing Goldie G Grint. A 10/10 baby (so far)."
The acting pair, who already have a daughter named Wednesday approaching her fifth birthday, were spotted earlier this week in Hampstead, London, cuddling their newest addition to the family.
Rupert has been quite guarded about his personal life – but did share some insights into fatherhood with Glamour in 2022.
He expressed his joy, saying he was "absolutely loving" being a dad and remarked: "It's so much fun. I feel like I've changed as a person for sure."

Tom Felton to return as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter play
Tom Felton is reprising his role as Draco Malfoy for the play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. The Surrey-born actor, who starred in all the film adaptations of JK Rowling's fantasy novel until the last movie in 2011, will make a comeback as Harry Potter 's school bully at the Lyric Theatre on Broadway in New York later this year. The production said he was the 'first actor from the films' to reprise their role on stage, and this will be Felton's Broadway debut. The actor said: 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play. 'It's surreal to be stepping back into his shoes – and of course his iconic platinum blond hair – and I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world. 'I look forward to joining this incredible company and being a part of the Broadway community.' Felton, 37, made his West End debut in the supernatural thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story in 2022. He will begin his run in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child on November 11 for a limited 19 weeks, the production said on Thursday. Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, the producers of the play, said: 'It's not lost on us that this is a cultural moment charged with nostalgia, evolution, and emotion. 'Tom's return to Hogwarts bridges generations of fans and breathes new life into a beloved story. We're beyond thrilled to welcome Tom back 'home' but also into a new family: our Broadway company. 'We can't wait to see him inhabit this role once again with the same depth, gravity, and humanity he has always brought to Draco.' The play, written by Jack Thorne, the co-creator of the Netflix series Adolescence, began in 2016 in London and has had a Broadway run since 2018. It was co-devised by Rowling, and is set 19 years after the events of the final book, with Harry, who is now a Ministry of Magic employee, and his wife Ginny Weasley sending off their youngest son, Albus Severus, to school. The two-part play, which stretches over five hours, sees Albus struggle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the weight of his family legacy and go to extreme and dangerous lengths to right the wrongs of the past. Since the ending of the film franchise, Felton has been in 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and had recurring roles in the TV series Murder In The First, The Flash and Origin. He has also lent his voice in the Harry Potter video games and featured in the TV special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who played Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The seven Harry Potter books are set to be brought to the small screen by HBO, with production beginning at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in summer 2025. The young stars have been cast with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, and Alastair Stout as Ron, while the new Draco has not yet been confirmed. Earlier this year, British actor Paapa Essiedu was confirmed to play Professor Severus Snape and US actor John Lithgow as Professor Albus Dumbledore, the Hogwarts headmaster. Also joining the cast are Paul Whitehouse, the Welsh comedian and actor, as the magic-less Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch, and Nick Frost, the Hot Fuzz actor, as the friendly groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid.
