English actor Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime partner, Erin Darke, welcomed their first child together back in April but had yet to reveal the sex of their baby until now.

While speaking to ET ahead of the season 4 premiere of Radcliffe's TBS series, "Miracle Workers", the Harry Potter alum gushed over life as a new dad.

"It's great. It's crazy and intense, but he's wonderful and Erin is amazing -- it's a real privilege also to have this time with him," Radcliffe gushed.

"I was always going to take some time off, which not everyone is able to do, and so I'm able to kind of just be here with him a lot, which is lovely,".

"So, we're having a great time," he added.

Radcliffe noted the newborn will be a factor in the projects he takes in the future.

"I think it certainly will. It hasn't really yet affected things, but I really like spending time with him, and I think I'm gonna miss him when I go back to work later in the year," Radcliffe shared.

He added, "So, I will definitely be I think a bit more selective -- not more selective, I've always been selective, but I think I'll probably work a little bit less for the next few years."

"I'll never be stopping. I don't think that's good for me either," Radcliffe continued.

News broke in March that the “Miracle Workers” co-stars were starting a family. Darke, 38, debuted her baby bump in a black zip-up hoodie that same month during a New York City walk with her partner.

She and Radcliffe, 33, have been together since meeting on the “Kill Your Darlings” set in 2012. The couple, who are notoriously private and rarely make red carpet appearances, “like” working together but don’t want to do it “all the time.”

While describing their dynamic to People in March 2022, Radcliffe gushed about how “happy” he is with the actress.

“I’ve got a really nice life. I’ve been with my girlfriend for a decade pretty much,” he told the outlet.

Radcliffe isn’t the first “Harry Potter” star to become a father.

In May 2020, Rupert Grint welcomed a baby girl named Wednesday with his girlfriend, Georgia Groome.

Grint, who is best known for playing Ron Weasley in the eight-movie franchise, has been in a relationship with the “Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging” star since 2011.
