Harry Potter star Rupert Grint shares the first snap of his newborn baby and reveals their adorable name - after secretly welcoming second child with girlfriend Georgia Groome

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has shared the first snap of his newborn baby after secretly welcoming his second child with girlfriend Georgia Groome.
The actor, 36, who played Ron Weasley in the magical movies took to Instagram on Sunday to introduced the tot, revealing the baby's name to be Goldie G. Grint.
In a nod to the couple surprising fans with the new arrival, Rupert cheekily wrote 'Secret Child Slightly Revealed' in the caption, while also giving a shoutout to the doctor who delivered the baby.
The image sees the tot, who's gender has yet to be revealed, lying amid a leopard print coat with their face partially covered.
They are dressed in a white baby grow with their name emblazoned on the front, which is teamed with a grey knitted cardigan.
Captioning his sweet post, Rupert penned: 'Secret Child Slightly Revealed' Introducing Goldie G. Grint. ⭐️ A 10/10 baby (so far)
'Shout out to @alex.digesu for always delivering.'
Rupert's remark to the medic suggests that he also delivered Rupert and Georgia's eldest child, daughter Wednesday, whom they welcomed five years ago.
The actor's post was met with a plethora of congratulatory messages from fans, many of whom referred to his famous character as they applauded 'another Weasley' being born.
The news of the couple's second arrival was revealed on Sunday as Rupert and Georgia were spotted enjoying a sunny stroll in Hampstead with the tot in pictured obtained by The Sun.
The couple were dressed casually as they strolled along the street with Rupert shielding his famous features beneath a shade and baseball cap.
He and Georgia took it in turn to lovingly cradle the little one, who appeared to have inherited their father's red hair.
MailOnline have contacted Rupert's reps for comment at the time.
Rupert and fellow actor Georgia, who is famed for her role in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, have been together since 2011 but have worked hard to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
The actor spoke about Georgia briefly in a 2021 interview with Glamour, saying: 'It's a very natural thing — we're just best friends. We're kind of the same person; we think the same way.
'That's always made it work — that's why it's lasted. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it works and it's great.'
Rupert was the first of the core three Potter child stars to become a parent.
They welcomed their daughter Wednesday in May 2020. Six months after their baby's arrival, Rupert then joined Instagram to reveal her name.
Rupert wrote alongside a sweet snap of him cuddling his baby daughter: 'Hey Instagram....only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert.' (sic)
His co-star Daniel Radcliffe became a father for the first time after welcoming a child with his long-term partner Erin Drake in April 2023.
Following Wednesday's birth Rupert Grint his fears as a new father, admitting he would constantly check on her breathing when she was asleep.
He told Entertainment Tonight in 2021 : '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.'
He also said that being a father to the daughter he shares with actress Georgia was all he really cared about and has changed his perspective.
'[Fatherhood], it's definitely changed my perspective. Since becoming a dad, kind of midway through, just to really have a better sense of what that can do to a family, that kind of level of loss is unimaginable.
It comes as Rupert is yet to speak out after JK Rowling has been celebrating the Supreme Court's landmark judgment that trans women are not legally women.
Harry Potter stars Rupert, Daniel. and Emma Watson who have v ocally opposed her stance on gender identity have so far stayed silent.
Justices in London ruled last week that in the 2010 Equality Act, the definition of the term 'women' relates only to biological women.
Judge Lord Hodge warned against taking the ruling as a 'triumph' for either side, but gender critical campaigners have celebrated the finding as a victory.
Multi-millionaire author Rowling, who reportedly helped fund the women's rights campaign group which brought the Supreme Court case, shared a photo online from on board her $150 million superyacht puffing a cigar in celebration.
She told her 14.3million followers on X, formerly Twitter: 'I love it when a plan comes together.'
Yet while she has been commenting at length on social media about the Supreme Court decision, fans have noted the apparent silence from stars who featured in the blockbuster movie adaptations of her Harry Potter books.
Daniel, Emma and Rupert have spoken publicly in support of gender ideology - that biologically male trans women should be regarded as women.
And they have each commented in opposition to Rowling's views on the issue, while expressing their gratitude for her role in their careers.
The author herself appeared to aim a jibe at them last month, when sharing on her X account a response to another user who asked: 'What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?'
Rowling wrote: 'Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.'
And she previously indicated in April last year she would not forgive Radcliffe nor Watson as she criticised celebrities she said had 'cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights'.
On that occasion the multi-millionaire author hit out at stars accused of using their 'platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors' after the release of the long-awaited Cass report into gender treatment in the UK.
