First-time mother Darke sported a green corduroy coat, bright orange boots, and a black T-shirt with light-wash pants. She pulled her brunette hair back from her face and completed her casual look with a pair of sunglasses. It appeared that she wore no makeup for the walk, as reported by Daily Mail.
The couple has been together for more than 10 years after meeting while working together on the film, 'Kill Your Darlings', in 2012. "It'll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other," Radcliffe said when he first met Erin in 2020, according to an interview he gave to People. He was referring to a sex scene the pair had in the movie. Radcliffe continued, "Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting."
'It's an incredibly exciting time'
