The Truth Emerged on Its Own
They initially crossed paths in 2012 during the production of the American drama about the Beat Generation, "Kill Your Darlings." Radcliffe portrayed the poet Allen Ginsberg, while Erin Darke played a girl named Gwendolyn, with whom Daniel's character shared several profoundly tender scenes. As often happens, the on-screen romance spilled into reality.
Erin, the American, proved to be the absolute antithesis of artist Rosie Coker, a refined Englishwoman hailing from a respected family, whom Daniel had previously courted, even intending to propose, only to ultimately forsake her for Erin. Her attire was too vibrant, her laughter too loud; she could instigate an artistic mess in their apartment (which irked Rosie to her core!), drop a sharp comment, and had absolutely no understanding of classic English poetry. Hockey, on the other hand, was a different story! Daniel always found her armchair commentary during NHL games utterly charming.
The Ebb and Flow
Nevertheless, the couple's relationship did not initially pan out as smoothly as expected. When his Broadway contract, the primary reason for his trip to the US, concluded, Radcliffe hastily fled from his passion back to his homeland of England.Why? He was simply terrified by the rapid pace at which their relationship was progressing. Prior to his departure, he indulged excessively in a bar from which he was ultimately expelled, and continued to drown his feelings in alcohol back home. The magnitude of the disaster was so great that his family threatened him with rehabilitation. Only after this did he manage to regain his senses, while meanwhile, the premiere of "Kill Your Darlings," where he had met Erin, was looming.
Daniel confirmed – or rather hinted at – their relationship almost a year later on Andy Cohen's late-night show, saying, "Yes, there is someone... My type? I'll keep that a secret. My type is intelligent people."
During the 2014 Tony Awards, they made their first public appearance as a couple. Subsequently, Radcliffe shared his perspective on relationships: "I always dreamed of a relationship where the girl would also be my best friend. And with Erin, I finally got that." Soon after, a video went viral online corroborating his words: Daniel and his girlfriend were seen singing Eminem at karaoke, and it was evident even to an outsider – they were extraordinarily happy together.
There Will Be No Wedding (and That's Quite Alright)
In 2017, rumors of an engagement circulated, but a wedding never transpired. This, however, didn't render them any less content; on the contrary – their harmonious union of gifted individuals bore fruit: Radcliffe overcame his alcohol dependency and now frequents parks more often than bars.She harbors no ambition to become a top-tier star, yet many believe her primary achievement lies in her ability to win over one of the most coveted bachelors in contemporary cinema. Daniel ceaselessly marvels at their unique bond, stating, "I believe this is the special type of relationship I've always sought to find. It's very important when your partner is also your best friend. With Erin, that's exactly the case."
