As they smiled for the camera, the couple seemed relaxed and in good spirits.
The couple’s recent red carpet outing came after Radcliffe revealed their romance to People in March. He then stated:
“I have a wonderful life. I have been with my girlfriend for ten years. We are very excited. I just finished the movie Weird Al, it was one of the most exciting and fascinating experiences of my career. mine.”
Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke met on the set of the 2013 movie Kill Your Darlings and began dating shortly after. Although they almost hide their love story from the public, the couple has been together for more than 10 years.

A Look at Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke’s Relationship
In 2013, Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke met on the set of Kill Your Darlings. The character previously portrayed a young Allen Ginsberg in the film, while Darke’s character had a brief love affair with Ginsberg. The pair first appeared together off-screen in 2013 at the Sundance Film Festival to promote their film. At the time, a source told US Weekly:
“They are very gentle most nights.” They were seen a little more outside the arena when they left.
Radcliffe later acknowledged their relationship in an interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen later that year. He declared:
“I’m in a relationship.” And my boy is… a guy that I keep to myself. My type is sensitive.”
Radcliffe and Darke made their red carpet debut at the 2014 Tony Awards, attracting media attention due to their height difference. Darke is slightly shorter than the star of Lost City, 5 feet-5 tall. In a 2014 interview with US Weekly, the former child star opened up about his friendship with Darke, stating that the actress is one of his closest friends:
“I believe that’s the kind of relationship I’ve always wanted to have with the person I’m dating.” You want to be best friends with that person. In Erin’s case, we certainly are.”
He also told Parade that same year about how he first met Darke and felt an immediate connection to her:
“It’s one of those instant things where you’re like, ‘Oh, I really like this person.’ You just have to have a connection with someone, and then it becomes really easy to talk to them.” That’s one of those cases.”
The following year, a video of Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke rapping Eminem’s The Real Slim Shady at a karaoke bar went viral online and featured a romantic kiss between the two.
Radcliffe said in 2018 that his partner liked the beard he had to let for his role in Miracle Worker.
“She really doesn’t mind. Obviously I have a soft, unscratched beard, which is a good thing. But, yes, I believe it’s a bit long, even by her standards.”
Daniel Radcliffe told The Vulture in March 2020 about his captivity with Darke:
“Because we wanted to be the most responsible person even in quarantine, we didn’t leave the apartment… 11 days? We have never been more grateful to be childless or more upset when we were alone. We don’t have a dog, but overall, we’re doing extremely well compared to a lot of people.
Before their most recent appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival, the pair were seen together earlier this year at a screening of The Lost City in New York.
