‘Harry Potter’ actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the globally acclaimed film franchise, is soon to be a father. Per reports, the 31-year-old actor and his longtime partner Georgia Groome were recently spotted during a London outing, where the 28-year-old actor showed off her baby bump.

The couple was reportedly spotted on Thursday, April 9, while stocking up on supplies amid the coronavirus lockdown. Both were dressed casually -- Grint was wearing a dark jacket and a green cap, and Groome wore a black T-shirt and leggings.

The news has since been confirmed to be true. Per People Magazine, the representatives of the couple said, “Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are excited to announce they are expecting a baby and would please ask for privacy at this time.”

Grint and Groome, who’s best known for roles in ‘London to Brighton’, and ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’, have been together since 2011. This is either actor’s first pregnancy. 

While Grint and Groome have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, the ‘Harry Potter’ actor spoke with The Guardian in 2018 about his plans about settling down and having children. “I’d like to settle down and have kids soon. If I had a son, would I call him Ron? It’s quite a good name, but probably not. And Grint’s a tough name to pair a one-syllable first name with,” he said then.

He also said in the same interview, "Turning 30 felt strange. It just doesn’t feel like I’m there yet and I don’t know what the future holds. I’m just going to go with the flow, keep playing interesting characters and see what happens."

Marriage rumors about the couple sparked last summer when they were both photographed wearing matching gold rings. A spokesman for Grint, however, denied that they had tied the knot.

Aside from the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise, Grint has worked in films like ‘Cross of Honour’, ‘Cherrybomb’, ‘CBGB’, ‘The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman’, and ‘Moonwalkers’. He’s also appeared on television shows, the most famous ones of which are ‘Sick Note’ and ‘Servant’.
