Rupert Grint made his Instagram debut by sharing a photo with his first child and revealing her name.
"Hey Instagram....only 10 years late, but here I am. Grint on the Gram! Here to introduce you all to Wednesday G. Grint. Stay safe, Rupert," the 32-year-old actor, known for his role as Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" movies, captioned a photo shared on Tuesday.
The selfie showed Grint holding the baby in his lap, with the child's body turned away from the camera. The post also marked the first time that Grint shared the name of his daughter, who he welcomed with girlfriend Georgia Groome in May.
Grint's photo was met with positive comments from his fans and followers, including "HP" costar Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), who said: "Welcome Weasley, it's about time. Love to Wednesday xx."
At the time of this article's publication, the "Servant" star has accumulated more than 1 million followers since joining Instagram.
Among the 16 accounts he follows are "HP" costars Felton and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), plus a private account for Groome.
Grint's profile photo is also a throwback image of costar Maggie Smith (Professor Minerva McGonagall) kissing his cheek at the UK premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in July 2009.
Back in April, a representative for Grint and Groome confirmed to Insider that the two actors were expecting their first child together. The following month, they welcomed a daughter.
"Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome are delighted to confirm the birth of their baby girl," a representative said in a statement to Insider. "We would please ask that you respect their privacy at this very special time."
"HP" costar Daniel Radcliffe went on to say that he was "so happy" for Grint during a virtual appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live."
"It's very, very cool," Radcliffe said. "It is also super weird for me to think that we are all of the age where we are having children, but we definitely are."
Grint and Groome, who's known for her role as Georgia Nicolson in the 2008 teen movie "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging," have been dating since 2011 but they have kept their relationship under wraps.
Grint previously spoke about his desire to start a family in a 2018 interview with The Guardian, explaining that he didn't know "what the future holds."
"I'm just going to go with the flow, keep playing interesting characters and see what happens," he said. "I'd like to settle down and have kids soon. If I had a son, would I call him Ron? It's quite a good name, but probably not. And Grint's a tough name to pair a one-syllable first name with."
