Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime partner Erin Darke made a rare public appearance together at the 2026 Tony Awards. The couple attended the event on Sunday, June 7, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, drawing attention as they walked the red carpet together. The 36 year old actor was nominated for his performance in the play Every Brilliant Thing. Although Radcliffe was among the nominees, the award ultimately went to John Lithgow for his performance in Giant. Despite not taking home the trophy, Radcliffe’s nomination marked another important achievement in his stage career.
Radcliffe and Darke have been together since 2012 after meeting while working in the film industry. Over the years, the couple has kept much of their relationship private and rarely makes public appearances together. In 2023, they welcomed their first child, a son, adding a new chapter to their long running relationship.
The pair also attracted attention last year when speculation about a possible marriage began circulating online. However, reports at the time stated that a representative denied the marriage rumors, clarifying that the couple had not tied the knot.

Much of the attention at the Tony Awards centered on Radcliffe’s work in Every Brilliant Thing, a play that received praise for its unique storytelling style. The production follows a man reflecting on different moments throughout his life and the small sources of hope that helped him through difficult times.
“Every Brilliant Thing is a stirring, exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through.”
One of the distinctive features of the play is its audience participation. Because audience members become part of the performance, each show unfolds differently, creating a unique experience every night.
Following Radcliffe’s run in the production, actress Mariska Hargitay stepped into the role. Her involvement has brought renewed attention to the play and its interactive format.
While Radcliffe did not win at the 2026 Tony Awards, his nomination highlighted his continued success beyond the Harry Potter franchise. His appearance alongside Erin Darke also offered fans a rare glimpse into one of Hollywood’s more private long term relationships, making the couple one of the most talked about pairs at the event.
