Who is Daniel Radcliffe's girlfriend, Erin Darke?

Erin Darke is an American actress who's starred in TV shows such as Good Girls Revolt, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Dietland, and in movies such as Still Alice and Love & Mercy.

She grew up in Michigan and reportedly knew from a young age that she wanted to act. That early desire led her to attend the University of Michigan-Flint, where she graduated with a bachelor of fine arts in theater performance in 2005.

How did Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke meet?

The couple met on the set of their 2013 movie Kill Your Darlings, in which Radcliffe portrays Allen Ginsberg and Darke plays his love interest, Gwendolyn. The following year, Radcliffe told Parade that he and Darke "just got on immediately."

"It was one of those instant things where you’re like, ‘Oh, I really like this person,'" he said. "You just have a connection with somebody, and then suddenly it’s incredibly easy to talk to them. It was one of those sort of situations."

For the most part, the couple stays relatively private, but Radcliffe has been known to publicly gush about his partner on occasion. "You want [the person you're in a relationship with] to be your best friend," he once told Us Weekly. "In the case of Erin, we definitely are."

As if that wasn't swoon-worthy enough, in 2020 he told the UK outlet Metro: "I grew up doing lots of things where I thought, ‘This is super nerdy. I’ll never be able to do this around a girl.' But that’s the wonderful thing about the moment you find the relationship you’re meant to be in.”

“Dating a famous person teaches you very quickly that s–t is weird sometimes. People are weird with fame sometimes,” Darke said in a joint interview with Radcliffe for Vulture. “We’re at the point now where I’ve seen my own wedding reported several times. You do start to dismiss things you read about your partner if you’re pretty sure they’re not true.”
