2012: Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke first met on the set of Kill Your Darlings in 2012.
The new parents have been together for a decade now.
The two have been very hush hush about their relationship and private lives.
October 2013: Radcliffe confirmed his relationship with Erin Darke.
June 2014: The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2014 Tony Awards.
In 2020: Radcliffe spoke to PEOPLE about how he met his girlfriend on the movie set, and he said it will be a "hell of a story to tell our kids one day." He went on to say, "Because of what our characters do with each other," referencing their love scene. "Our characters are meeting and flirting with each other, so there is this kind of sweet record of us just meeting for the first time and flirting."
The two have been going strong since then.
