“Say hello to our son Aster Sky Wright Lococo born at home on the 28th September. Named after the star-shaped flower,” she wrote in the caption. “Our little star has been showered in love by his big brother Elio. Thank you universe for my loving bundle of boys!”
The post, shared to her 3.7 million followers, prompted a flurry of congratulatory messages from well-wishers.
Career and family background
Wright made her professional acting debut aged nine in Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, and remained in the franchise across its eight films. After her role as Harry Potter’s love interest, she shifted towards small and independent film projects and also pursued a career on stage, appearing in productions such as Peter Ustinov’s The Moment Of Truth.
She is also the founder of independent production company BonBonLumiere and an environmental activist who has worked with charities such as Greenpeace and Rainforest Alliance.
Wright first revealed her relationship with Lococo on social media in September 2020, and the couple tied the knot two years later. Their first child, Elio Ocean Wright Lococo, was born in 2023. Wright was previously engaged to Harry Potter co-star Jamie Campbell Bower, who played a young Gellert Grindelwald, for a year until 2012.
