Georgia Groome and Rupert Grint’s love story

In early 2020, Georgia welcomed her first baby with her partner and Harry Potter star, Rupert Grint.

The pair have been together since 2011 and have worked hard to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

Several months after her birth, Mr Weasley (we know it’s not his real name) revealed the pair named their daughter Wednesday G Grint.

Grint shared the inspiration behind their daughter’s name during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, confirming she was named after Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family.

"It's a good name, isn't it? I'm always hesitant to say it was The Addams Family, but it was, yeah, kind of The Addams Family," he admitted. "Just always loved the name, it's a good name, memorable."
