Next to Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, Rupert Grint is one of the most recognizable faces to come out of the Harry Potter franchise. But even with a starring role in one of the most popular movie franchises, the actor has managed to keep most of his personal life private, including his relationship with longtime girlfriend Georgia Groome.
But on Friday, April 10, Grint’s rep announced that Groome and Grint are expecting their first child together after recent photos of the couple surfaced. “Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are excited to announce they are expecting a baby and would please ask for privacy at this time,” a rep for the Harry Potter actor told E! News.
Groome is no stranger to the big screen, but who is the actress that stole Grint’s heart? Here’s everything you need to know.
She starred in the 2008 film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
Groome is best known for her role as the lovable Georgia Nicholson in Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging, a teen flick based on British author Louise Rennison’s books Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and It’s OK, I’m Wearing Really Big Knickers. The story follows Nicholson as she navigates the ups and downs of being a teenager. Groome has also starred in the British film London to Brighton and comedy sitcom Up the Woman, as well as a few short films.
Groome and Grint have been dating since 2011.
The couple kept their relationship under the wraps for years, and many fans didn’t realize they were dating until an old photo of the pair circulated on Twitter. A fan posted a grainy photo of Groome with long, curly hair—a clear indicator the photo is a throwback since she’s kept her hair in a lob cut for the past few years—and Grint smiling while sitting next to each other. “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 ????,” the fan wrote on Twitter.

Acting is in her blood.
Groome’s mother Fiona Watson was a drama and vocal coach at Nottingham Television Workshop where Groome later received training in acting. According to Groome’s IMDB page, her first-ever acting gig was in a film named A Fish Out of Water that was released in 2001.
She’s active on social media—sort of.
Grint may not be on social media, but Groome posts on her Twitter page every now and then. Her tweets reveal a lot about her, including that:
She collects bees.

And she’s “obsessed” with Glossier. (Same.)
A week of only using @glossier products and my skin is transformed… if I get to two weeks and am still as obsessed I’m gonna need stocks/shares
