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."

Jo Wood, 70, looks as glamorous as ever as she steps out alongside her son Tyrone at event in Nice - after AWKWARD run-in with her ex husband Ronnie Wood
Jo Wood looked typically glamorous as she stepped out for the Thirty Six for Coral event in Nice alongside her son Tyrone on Friday night. The model, 70, and her son had flown across the channel for an art exhibition supporting the preservation of coral. And Jo continued to prove age is just a number as she beamed in snaps while sporting a simple but classy black silk dress. Wearing her blonde locks up, the former Strictly contestant layered her look with a green floral jacket before accessorising with a glitzy brown bag. She posed for photos alongside her son Tyrone, 41, who she shares with her former husband rock and roll legend Ronnie Wood, 78. Ty cut a dapper figure for the evening, sporting a navy suit over an unbuttoned white shirt. The model was joined at the event by her son Tyrone, 41, who cut a dapper figure in a navy suit for the evening The 41-year-old and his mother were joined at the event by Ty's wife, Steve Harris of Iron Maiden's daughter, Faye. She wowed on the evening in an elegant beige and white dress which complemented her light brown hair. The couple tied the knot last summer at The Old Town Marylebone Hall in London and Faye shared snaps of the happy couple to her Instagram following the special day, showing her and her spouse beaming after saying their vows. Speaking ahead of the wedding last year, Ty's father Ronnie - who has been pretty private about his children - said it was 'amazing' to see his son getting married. Ty's appearance in southern France alongside his mother comes after Jo had a shock during a recent holiday to the Bahamas when she ended up staying in the same hotel as Ronnie. She told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden: 'I'd only been there a day and I walked into the hotel restaurant and there was Ronnie with his wife and kids. 'You should have seen his face when he saw me.' Ronnie is now married to theatre producer Sally, 31 years his junior, with whom he has twin daughters. Jo added: 'I'm no stalker.' Jo was married to rocker Ronnie for 24 years between 1985-2011 and the two share children Leah, 46, and Tyrone. She also became stepmother to Ronnie's son Jesse, 48, from his first marriage. She is also mum to another son, Jamie, 50, from her first marriage to clothing entrepreneur Peter Greene. Jo recently revealed the hilarious nickname given to her by her grandchildren as she admitted they know all about her wild drug-taking rock and roll past. The former wife of The Rolling Stones guitarist was known for embracing the party lifestyle in her younger days. And the star admitted her grandchildren are now calling her 'Gangsta Granny' after she revealed some of her past antics to them. Speaking on Good Housekeeping UK's podcast My Life in A Biscuit Tin, Jo said: 'I know I shouldn't say this, but I was in the car with them and they were giggling, two of them [grandchildren, Maggie and Kobe]. 'They went, "Gran, have you done any drugs?" I said, "Of course I have, but I don't recommend it". 'I said, "Because it didn't get me anywhere except lots of sleepless nights". Explaining how she believes it is important to be honest with your family she added: 'You can't be dishonest, because they'll find out. 'So, I tried to warn them it was a waste of time, but I was in a very special situation. So then they said, "We're going to call you Gangster Gran from now on."' She has 10 grandchildren in total, four from Jamie, two from Leah and four from Jesse. Last year Jo revealed she had left her wild nights of partying behind for an eco-friendly countryside cottage. The TV personality moved to the old farmhouse in 2019 and has embraced 'off-grid' living, generating her own electricity and nurturing her own vegetable patch. Aside from WiFi, she more or less lives self-sufficiently and has traded in her days of drinking and joints for homegrown veg and is even creating a capsule supplement called Longevity to boost her health.

Noel and Liam Gallagher's children share key advice from rockstar dads
Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher have been giving advice to their kids whilst they have not been on stage rehearsing with the band ahead of their reunion tour It's not the most rock'n'roll thing to do - but Liam and Noel Gallagher are great at giving their kids sensible advice. The pair are back on the road together later this month as the Oasis reunion kicks off in Cardiff on July 4, their first shows in 16 years. In that time, they have been trying to install confidence and the value of money into their children. Anaïs, daughter of Noel, says of the Oasis Live 25 tour: 'I'm pre-prepping my liver now by drinking, I don't know, electrolytes. It should be a very fun summer. My plan is to be at every U.K. date, and my camera will be with me every step of the way.' The model and photographer, 25, went on to joke that she might not make a photo book as 'then my dad would probably want every penny.' Growing up, she assumed that every kid could be taken to the Harry Potter film set to hang out like she was, until her parents, Noel and his ex-wife Meg Matthews, set her straight. 'They said, 'You're different, but that doesn't mean you're better than anybody else.' I think I've kept that in mind throughout my whole life.' Noel also seems to be aware that the children of famous people often buckle under the pressure of living up to their parents' success. 'My generation has been told that the sky is the limit and that if you dream big, you can invent an app and become a billionaire,' Anaïs told W magazine in the US. 'But that is such a small fraction of the population. My parents were always like, do whatever makes you happy—you don't need to be this big superstar.' Noel also didn't try to push her into music, quite the opposite. She had 'a brief stint playing the cello when I was about 11, and it's safe to say there is not an inherent Gallagher musical gene.' She added: 'My dad came to see a few of my recitals, and he swiftly was like, 'Maybe it's not for you.'' Noel's brother has been trying to help two of his kids follow in his musical footsteps. Gene, 23, has his band Villanelle who supported Liam on tour and have a new single out later this Summer (PLS REF). Lennon Gallagher, the eldest of Liam's sons, says his dad give hims tips, even thought his music so far has been more experimental than Oasis, featuring spoken vocals on stage. 'He doesn't hate it,' says Lennon, laughing. 'He's always been very supportive. Dad has given me some great pointers. One of the best ones is: Don't think about what you're doing when you're getting onstage. Just get up there and belt it out. It's a pretty perfect piece of advice, because if you ever think too much, you'll just get locked in your shell.' Gene said it was 'water off a duck's back' to be compared to his dad and he worries more about the reaction of his mum Nicole Appleton, of the girl group All Saints, to his music than his father. 'I'd be more nervous to play it to my mum. My dad hears my music all the time.' Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009. But thankfully the brothers have now made up and it is believed Liam made the first move to patch things up. On X Liam said last year: "I called him but don't tell anyone as I don't want folk thinking I'm a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x." The reply laced with humour was typical of Liam's responses on social media. The pair will walk out on stage together, with their kids on the sidelines no doubt, on July 4 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.

Stephen Fry could do with a lesson in ‘radicalisation'
Stephen Fry has accused J.K. Rowling of being 'inflammatory and contemptuous', 'mocking' and adding to 'a terribly distressing time for trans people'. Fry, who narrated the Harry Potter audiobooks, has damned their author for saying 'cruel' and 'wrong' things and for failing to 'disavow some of the more revolting and truly horrible, destructive – violently destructive – things that people say'. He suspects that she's been 'radicalised by Terfs', charged her with kicking up 'a hornet's nest of transphobia which has been entirely destructive', and dismissed her as 'a lost cause'. Might I interrupt this lengthy damnatio memoriae to point out that Fry is supposed to be Rowling's friend and to venture that, if she deserves to be rebuked for anything, it's her godawful taste in friends. Fry, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson. The woman is like flypaper for airheads, dilettantes, and abject ingrates. If J.K. Rowling has been radicalised, it is not by Terfs Fry's comments, which came in a recording of the podcast The Show People, are in stark contrast to his answer when asked about these matters in 2021 ('She's a friend and will remain a friend') and again the following year, when he refused to 'abandon' her and said: 'I know that J.K. Rowling doesn't want to see trans people bullied, alienated, shut out of society, made to feel ashamed, guilty, laughed at, all those things.' Fry suggests Rowling has been 'radicalised', a word familiar to followers of the gender controversy for its customary application to women who insist on their rights. Although the terminology echoes that used to describe recruitment of Islamist terrorists, you need not be a feminist semantician to suspect that 'radical' is being used as a synonym for 'hysterical', as though women who believe in chromosomal sex are like the mad heroine of a Charlotte Perkins Gilman story and would benefit from a lie down. Radicalisation is a deceptive and manipulative framing because recognising the existence of physiological differences between men and women isn't radicalism, it's biology. Fry has repeatedly professed his distaste for the gender wars and refused to engage on the substance. For all his donnish affectations, he's a 'be kind' merchant whose contribution to the debate is every bit as vacuous as those Insta mums who pose with a Pride Progress flag in front of their 'Live, Laugh, Love' wall canvas every 1 June. Yet were Fry to take heed of what the gender ideology vanguard say, he might grasp that their use of 'radicalisation' is projection. For if you've convinced yourself that men become women by declaring themselves to be so, that women corseting themselves in chest binders or having healthy breasts amputated is sound therapeutic care, that children should be offered medical and even surgical interventions to mutilate their bodies – and, yes, this is what the vanguard believes – then you should stop and ask who exactly has been radicalised here. When I first wrote critically about gender identity ideology on Coffee House in 2019, it set in motion a parting of ways with several friends who could not tolerate my disagreement with the fundamental convictions they had recently picked up from Twitter. The end of a friendship is often mired in sadness and regret but when a mate breaks away because you reckon Judith Butler is a bit of a nutter, there is – eventually – relief at a bullet dodged. There is also a deeper appreciation of those friendships which span political and philosophical divides. Some of my dearest friends are people who maintain that trans women are women, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Scotland should be an independent state, and Jeremy Corbyn would have made a good prime minister. Mateship across ideological lines is normal and healthy, I don't care what the bug-eyed scolds on BlueSky say. You stick by your mate, defend him even as you disagree with him, and you most certainly don't turn on him when a gang of under-medicated hall monitors corner you in the cafeteria. I'd like to think that Rowling doesn't pay much mind to turncoats who huff the fumes of her success then ditch her for status points. That she's too busy spending her days in a mountaintop hotel typing 'All work and no play makes Jo a dull girl' and her nights dive-bombing into a vault of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck. But no doubt it stings her just as it would the rest of us. That's unfortunate but it is better than the alternative. A friendship you can only hold on to by believing, or pretending to believe, that womanhood is nothing more than a feeling, that sex-based rights are bigoted, that transing the gay away is progressive, is a friendship from which you should flee without delay. If J.K. Rowling has been radicalised, it is not by Terfs but by the spinelessness and intellectual vacuity of characters like Stephen Fry. Men who profess left-liberal affinities in every other regard but are content to align themselves with harmful, reactionary doctrines because to do otherwise would be low-brow. Why, he'd be no better than the ghastly Americans who voted for Trump and those hideous English provincials who read the Daily Express. People like this have nothing to add to the conversation beyond repeating vapid platitudes half-remembered from their last dinner party. If this is the quality of contribution Fry has to offer the gender debate, it might be wise all round if he resumed his vow of silence.
