Handsome actor Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born in London, England on 23 July 1989 under the zodiac sign of Leo, and came to prominence for starring in the role of Harry Potter in the “Harry Potter” film franchise. He certainly became one of the most famous teenage celebrities in the world, which generated enormous public interest, not only in his professional life but also his supposed private life. Over the years, it hasn’t diminished at all. The handsome actor has stolen the hearts of the millions of women, and many famous ladies couldn’t remain indifferent to his charm. We did a little research about his dating history, and have compiled what we think is a complete list for you of the beautiful girls Daniel has been romantically linked to. So, let’s find out more!
Perhaps not first up, but certainly publicly known, Daniel Radcliffe and Laura O’Toole met each other at the time when they performed next to each other in the stage play “Equus” in London’s West End. The young Irish actress landed the role of his girlfriend in the play, appearing together in steamy scenes. It was obvious that the chemistry worked immediately between them, and they continued seeing each other supposedly secretly when the play ended in May 2007. It didn’t take long for them to make their on-stage romance a reality, since they started their relationship in July of the same year. Even though they never made their relationship public, it was clear that the two of them were more than friends. In November 2007, the duo was spotted walking near his home in Fulham, West London.
After dating for six months, Daniel and Laura was rumored to have ended their romance in January 2008. According to Evening Standard magazine, Laura revealed more about their split in one of her interviews, saying “Daniel and I are still good friends and have a good time when we see each other,” but adding, “We just have to be realistic.” However, several magazines such as Digital Spy and Herald, reported in July 2009 that the “Harry Potter” star revealed that they were still an item, saying, “My girlfriend is Laura O’Toole, and she was in ‘Equus’ with me. But I don’t really want to talk about that, because she’s not here and it’s not fair.” However, the couple allegedly broke up for good by the end of the year.
Perhaps somewhat confusingly, in February 2008 Daniel Radcliffe was rumored to be romantically involved in a relationship with a girl named Alana Dawes. They reportedly ended their romance in May of the same year. Other information regarding them hasn’t been revealed in the media, and since he was still in a relationship with Laura O’Toole at the time, we assume that the rumors were false.
In August 2010, Daily Mail magazine reported that the handsome actor was accompanied by “a striking brunette” on his trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he celebrated his 21th birthday, the magazine writing that the two of them were “almost inseparable”. Later they were seen watching a cricket game at The Oval in South London.
It was later found out that the mystery girl was actually British socialite Olive Uniacke, probably best recognized for being the stepdaughter of the producer of the “Harry Potter” film series David Heyman. One of their mutual friends told the magazine, “Olive and Dan have known each other a long time, ever since the Harry Potter films started. They were close a few years ago, but the relationship fizzled out then,” but adding “Even so, they have always remained friends. And in the last few months they have grown closer again, but Dan’s not traditionally her type. She has usually gone for bad boys, and Dan is quite preppy.” Another friend revealed, “Olive is a lovely young lady – and she and Dan have been close for a long time.
She was always in and out of his dressing room during filming, and she has always been really protective over him.” However, Daniel Radcliffe’s publicist told ABC News magazine that they were “not dating”, so the rumors were shut down.
In 2010, Daniel Radcliffe apparently put a spell on British production assistant Rosie Coker. They first met each other while they were filming “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince” in 2007, and over the years became pretty close. Before their relationship became public, Daniel revealed in an interview with USA Today magazine that he had a girlfriend based in England, but he didn’t want to share her identity. He said, “She’s here with me as much as she can be. She’s about to start a new job though, so I won’t see her for a few months.” After being asked if she was an actress, he answered, “No! God, no, not so much for my sake as for hers.”
In August 2011, Daniel and Rosie were seen hand-in-hand in New York City, and Rosie’s father then confirmed their romance, according to Daily Mail magazine saying “I don’t want to say too much really as they would really prefer to keep things quiet. But Rosanne has worked on the last three ‘Harry Potter’ films, so she and Daniel have known each other quite a long time. But they have been going out for just over a year now. I have met Daniel and he is a lovely guy”.
Daniel Radcliffe would later reveal in a 2011 interview with Parade magazine that he “hated dating because I’m crap at it!” He then recalled his first two dates with Rosie – “I didn’t know what was appropriate, like on which date you’re supposed to try and kiss her.
At the end of the second date I pulled a move out of the Bela Lugosi Book of Woo—I went to kiss Rosie and at the last minute lost my nerve and ended up kissing her neck, which is such a weirdly intimate place to kiss somebody on a second date. Afterward I texted her, saying, ‘I’m sorry, what I just did probably seems very odd to you.’ Fortunately, she just found it really funny, so she kept coming back.”
The talented actor further opened up about their relationship, saying that he was “absolutely” in love with her. He continued, “When Rosie’s here, every day seems better….I’m not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I’m a very good boyfriend, but there are times when I’m useless. I mean, I’m a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. […] And she listens to it, and she loves me for my oddness, my awkwardness, all of those things that I hate about myself. She finds them cute. I guess that’s love.” He added, again “I hated dating because I’m crap at it!”
The couple eventually moved in together in Daniel’s apartment located in the West Village neighborhood of New York City. In an interview with The Sun magazine, Daniel said, “She’s like the nice half of my brain — the part of my brain that doesn’t dislike me — that’s her. She encourages me, which is nice.” According to Daily Mail magazine, he also once said that she is “lovely. She’s a wonderful, wonderful girl, who’s far too good for me”.
After dating for two years, the couple decided to part their ways in October 2012. It was confirmed by Rosie Coker’s father, since he told Daily Mail magazine, “She’s trying to move on. She won’t want to talk about it.” On the other hand, Daniel’s rep said, “We don’t comment on Dan’s personal life.” Moreover, it was reported that the main reason for their split was his “Kill Your Darlings” co-star Erin Darke. Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke met each other in late 2012, at the time when they started filming “Kill Your Darlings” – they filmed the scene in which her character performed oral sex on his character in a library.
During his appearance on People TV’s show “Couch Surfing”, Daniel talked about the scene. “It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other,” he said. “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”. Moreover, he admitted in his 2015 interview for Playboy magazine that he started falling for her then, saying, “That’s a wonderful record of us flirting for the first time. There’s no acting going on—not from my end, anyway. There’s a moment when she makes me laugh, and I’m laughing as me and not as my character. She was incredibly funny and smart. I knew I was in trouble.”
The couple started their romance in July 2013. Daniel confirmed that he had a girlfriend during his appearance on Bravo’s late-night talk show, “Watch What Happens Live” in October of that year.
Even though he didn’t want to reveal her identity, it was confirmed that he had become romantically involved in a relationship with Erin Darke. In the following year, Daniel opened up about their relationship in an interview, referring to her as his best friend. He said, “I think that’s the kind of relationship I always aspire to have with someone I’m in a relationship with. You want that person to be your best friend,” and added, “In the case of Erin, we definitely are.” In their joint 2018 interview with People magazine, they spoke further about their relationship, Daniel saying, “One of the first things we bonded over was how much we really love what we do, and there’s something that’s really beautiful and really lovely about being with someone who just innately understands that about you,” while Erin added, “He helps me make self-tapes sometimes. We’re both incredibly supportive of the other person’s career.”

Although they have been together for more than seven years, Daniel and Erin have no wedding plans. In their joint interview with Vulture magazine, Erin said, “We’re at the point now where I’ve seen my own wedding reported several times. I spent a week once having to text all my family members being like, “I promise if I’m getting married, you will find out from me and not US Weekly.” Daniel added, “At least three times, somebody has written that we’re getting married, that Emma Watson is gonna be the maid of honor, and Rupert Grint is my best man, and we’re getting married on a lake in Michigan.”
Perhaps such a wedding would be the perfect one, but the most important thing is that Daniel and Erin enjoy their love. Whether or not they decide to walk down the aisle, it remains to be seen – in the current social environment, it wouldn’t be at all surprising if they didn’t, but just continue on their merry way as they already have for a number of years!
