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."
