Rupert Grint confirms birth of second child
Rupert Grint has confirmed the birth of his second child.
The 'Harry Potter' actor and partner Georgia Groome were pictured in London on Sunday (27.04.25) out for a walk with a newborn and now the 36-year-old star - who already has four-year-old Wednesday with the 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' actress - has showed off a partial glimpse of the baby amd revealed the tot's name to be Goldie.
Sharing a photo of the baby - which was cropped at the nose - who was wearing a onesie with 'Goldie' embroidered on it and a grey cardigan, Rupert wrote: "'Secret Child Slightly Revealed' Introducing Goldie G. Grint. [star emoji] A 10/10 baby (so far) (sic)"
Tagging obstetrician Dr. Alex Digesu in the post, he added: "Shout out to @alex.digesu for always delivering (sic)"
Rupert and Georgia's baby news broke when they were spotted out and about in Hampstead, north London, with their newborn bundled in a blanket.
In photos obtained by The Sun online, Rupert smiled broadly as he held the baby during a family walk, for which he dressed all in black.
Georgia, wearing sunglasses, smiled at the tot and planted a kiss on her forehead.
The 'Servant' actor previously admitted he never stops worrying about his daughter and parenting has made him a "bit of a hypochondriac".
He told People magazine: "I think becoming a dad forces you to discover things, and now I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. Having a baby, you're worried about her at all times. Everything seems dangerous. I bought a full-size ostrich skeleton. It's 8 feet tall and came fully assembled, but it's so delicate. It's really stressful to have in your living room, especially when we've got a cat and Wednesday running around!"
And Rupert told how he found the first night he and Georgia brought their daughter home was "terrifying".
He told Esquire magazine: "I don't want to go too into detail, but the first night was just terrifying. You can't sleep at all, just constantly checking that she's breathing. Sleeping, in general, for me, is something I've really struggled with. I think as a kid, people always said, 'They died in their sleep,' so I always thought sleep was a really dangerous, dangerous thing."
The 'Snatch' actor also joked he had an 'identity crisis' when his daughter arrived, as he thought he had to change his wardrobe so he'd look like a dad.
He said: "I struggle with that, being a dad. Had a bit of an identity crisis. I don't know, do I change the way I dress now?"

REVEALED: Why Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin split up
Dakota Johnson reportedly broke up with Chris Martin because she was sick of waiting around for her ex-partner to set a wedding date. The Fifty Shades of Grey star and Coldplay singer have been dating since 2017 and sparked engagement rumours during 2020, but last week reportedly called off their eight year on and off again relationship for the second time. A source told Page Six that Johnson broke up with Martin because she 'was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding'. Another insider added that 'They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids,' which comes after a different source told The Sun their age gap posed a problem in raising children. 'They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem, and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life, but they discussed it,' they said. 'They made some beautiful memories as a family, and it'll be hard for both of them to move on after such a long relationship, but they will do it.' Meanwhile, the Daily Mail spoke to someone who claimed their relationship has actually 'been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official.' Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal star in Materialists. Credit: Supplied Neither Johnson nor Martin has commented on their split, but they seemed to be friendly recently based on Martin plugging his ex's new movie, Materialists, in which she stars alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. At the end of a concert on his band's Music of the Spheres World Tour in Las Vegas, he took a minute to give Johnson what sounded like a subtle shout-out. 'Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists. We love you,' he said in a video obtained by DeuxMoi. While the person who filmed the video claimed the pair were still going strong, the nice message came amid reports they had split, with a source telling People that it 'felt final this time.' The pair were last spotted in Malibu together on May 16.

Yungblud 'needed' to go home for new album
Yungblud "needed" to record his latest album near his family. The 27-year-old singer worked on Idols in Leeds, North England, just a few miles from where he grew up, because he wanted to be around people who didn't care about his stardom and aren't afraid to give him their honest opinions. He explained to The Sun newspaper: 'I needed to go back north, to family. Because when you write a record with family, they don't give a f*** about hits, they don't give a f*** about radio. "All I want is the truth out here. My mum will tell me when I've been a d***.' The Hello Heaven, Hello singer wanted the record to sound "unmistakably British". He said: 'I love British music, British art — and I'm so happy to be British. I don't think there's enough British music at the forefront of the British music industry right now, so I wanted to make a record that sounded unmistakably British.' Idols, Yungblud's fourth LP, is something he started writing four years ago after his album Weird! topped the charts but he admitted the people around him tried to get him to work on something else in order to capitalise on his commercial success, but he's proud he figured out his direction on his own. He said: 'I was dissuaded from doing Idols after Weird! because Weird! was so commercially successful. 'I went and worked with a load of songwriters — and when you do that, you've got seven people a week telling you what Yungblud should do next. I had to figure that out for myself. 'I didn't want to make vapid songs that sound great on the radio. Yeah, we've got a couple of f**king radio bangers on this record, but I wanted to make one album that's a through line — classic and timeless. "There's no gimmicks, man. None. This is me leaving everything on the table, showing the world what I can do. "That's why I orchestrated everything. I did everything I could to make it as deep and five-dimensional — lyrically and musically — as I possibly could.' 'I've been all over the world and spent a lot of time in America, but for this album I needed to come home."

Eric Dane vows ALS won't be 'the end' for him
Eric Dane doesn't feel his ALS diagnosis means "the end". The 52-year-old actor announced in April that he is battling the incurable degenerative condition - which is formally known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and impacts the nervous system and causes muscle paralysis - but he is trying to be optimistic, even though there is no escaping the reality of his health issues. In a teaser clip for an interview with Diane Sawyer which will air on Good Morning America on Monday (16.06.25), he said: 'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening. It's not a dream.' At another point in the brief footage, he added: 'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me." At the end of the trailer, Diane asked Eric who his first call was after he received his diagnosis, causing him to grow tearful and bow his head, with the clip stopping before his answer. The former Grey's Anatomy star - who has Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart - has continued to work on Euphoria since his diagnosis. Announcing the news in April, Eric told People magazine: "I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of 'Euphoria' next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time." ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease - after the baseball player of the same name who was diagnosed with the condition in 1939 - and is the most common form of motor neurone disease. The average survival time after diagnosis is three years, but some ALS patients with a slow-progressing form of the disease can live much longer. Physicist Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 21 and he lived until he was 76. Eric and Rebecca married in Las Vegas in 2005 but the 53-year-old actress filed for divorce back in 2018. However, she filed paperwork in March to have the petition dismissed. Shortly before Eric went public with his health crisis, Rebecca insisted they are closer than ever. Speaking to E! News, she explained: "We are best of friends. We are really close. "We are great co-parents. I think it's important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It's just a season. It wasn't a failure. It was a huge success. "We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years, and we had two beautiful kids so I think that's a successful relationship, and that's how we look at it."
