Who is Georgia Groome, Rupert Grint’s long-term partner? The Nottingham native, from an acting family, just had her second child with the Harry Potter star – but why does she hate posing for photos?
Grint and Groome have been publicly linked since 2011 and have just welcomed their second daughter – Groome is an actress, and has studied dance and musical theatre
A day before the announcement on Instagram, Grint and Groome were pictured taking a leisurely walk in Hampstead, London, with their newborn, according to The Sun.
The public outing was a rare exception for the ultra-private couple, who prefer to keep their personal lives under wraps. So what do we know about two-time mum Georgia Groome?
What’s her background?
Groome was born on February 11, 1992, in Nottingham, England. Her father, Paul Groome, was a chef and ran a pub. Her mother, Fiona Watson, teaches drama and musical theatre and is involved in coaching, directing and casting for Nottingham’s Television Workshop.
Groome’s sister Alexandra Groome and half-sister Eden Watson are actresses. Groome’s mum Fiona married Nick Watson – a composer of music for film and other media – in 2000, having had Eden in 1999.
Georgia is a dancer who specialised in ballet, tap, modern and jazz and also studied musical-theatre singing, according to her IMDB biography. As a child she was athletic, playing girls’ football and rugby in a boys’ team.
She studied at the Derby Youth Theatre and attended Trent College in Long Eaton, Nottingham, per This is Derbyshire.
