Does Rupert Grint have other kids?
Eldest daughter Wednesday was born in May 2020. Rupert signed up for Instagram to share a snap of her when she was born as his first post on the platform.
He has previously revealed he found it difficult to sleep when Wednesday was very young as he would constantly check on her breathing.
But in a 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon he revealed Wednesday had picked up some bad language from her dad.
He admitted “the f-word came pretty quickly” for her after she spent a lot of time in her dad’s dressing room with him when he was rehearsing his lines.
“Now she just says it whenever she’s excited. We were in the toy store today and she was just walking around, dropping it,” Rupert said at the time.
